Ultimate D&D Universe
In a way, the transition from the previous editions core setting to 4e’s core setting was an attempt not unlike the attempts by DC and Marvel Comics to clean up their continuity so as to allow new readers (players) an easier entry point and to recreate the continuity to fit together better. DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths was the trend-setter there, but the analogue that works better for me is Marvel’s Ultimate line.
Chatty’s Feed issues : Resolved?
Hi there, I’m taking a short break from writing my D&D 4e adventure (things are going well, I’m 20% done) and my self imposed Blogging Hiatus to address an issue with my main feed. For the past several months, my feedburner feed has been periodically broken, linking directly to my website instead of providing a […]

Chatty’s Reruns: My craziness and DMing….
Until the week of December 20th, I’ll be posting reruns of older blog posts. One of my earliest Blog posts (August 21st 2007). I wrote this while I was planning last year’s D&D campaign. Its still very actual and defines me as a person in all my life spheres. Its a bit rough around the […]
Half-Season Break
Sometimes life sends you little subtle signals like a string of insomnia-laced nights. When it does… it kinda pays to listen to them. I’ve got a social calendar that’s really filled up until Christmas, (Hell I’m out every evening from Wednesday till Sunday this week). I’ve also an adventure to write that must be delivered […]
Adventure Design: The Importance of Choices
Last night, while lying wide awake and watching the excellent Avatar cartoon series, I started pondering on how important it is for a characters to be shown as having an effect on a story. Avatar is filled to the brims with this. In each show, characters make choices, wrong and right. This ends up affecting […]
