Heya all, I more or less expected to stop playing from late November until mid January. However, by a strange coincidence, we all (i.e. the 6 players and myself) managed to be free on December 19th! Joy! Warming up with the Band! Some of the group made it to Math’s early enough so we could […]

Merry Christmas!
It’s Christmas Eve already and I’m running around with my little family. Since all our parents are divorced, we must show up to 4 different places in a very restricted ammount of time. We don’t mind, because that’s what the season is about. So while I catch my breath for a few minutes, I want […]
Chatty’s Mailbag: Describing a Scene Through the Senses
No sooner am I getting back into the thick of blogging that I get an email asking me for my thoughts on a given subject. Joy, instant inspiration!

Chatty News: Kobold Love Playtest #2
Hey people… I’d be lying if I didn’t say I miss you… Just a short post to tell you I’m still alive and doing well. For those who followed my Kobold Love hijinks, I played another short test session over at Eric Maziade’s place and he wrote about his experience. They said such nice things […]
Chatty’s Reruns: The Rule of Cool
I’m on blogging Hiatus until next week. During that time I’ll be re-posting old text of mine or guest posts. This one was the first post I struck gold with (Sept 4th 2007). It’s as short as it was insightful and has made me known on the bloggosphere. It has since become a cornerstone of […]
