I apologize to my English readers (i.e 85+% of you), this is a one-shot French post to discuss how I play RPGs in that language and to check how many of my readers read French. Time to brush up on your high school/college French or to fire up an online translator. J’écris très peu en […]
Chatty’s Question: Gaming S.O.?
This post was inspired by this one. Okay, I spent all evening prepping for tomorrow’s game, which is on with 4 players. So I thought now was as good a time to ask you one of my patented question to blatantly bait for comments and entertain me. Do you have a Significant Other? If so, […]
Adventure Prep: Pirate Dragons, Ninja Apes and Hot Fighter-Librarian Chick
This is part of a very long running series where I share how I go at prepping my D&D games a few days before our bi-monthly game night. I might not have a game Friday, my roll call so far confirms 2 missing players (Cleric and Wizard) and unless all remaining four confirm, the game […]
The State of Chatty: Fall Edition
I’ll try real hard not to make this post into yet another tortured artist Emo crap. I seem to do one every three months or so… please bear with me, it’s quite therapeutic. As I mentioned earlier this year, I’m one of those blessed creatively hyperactive personalities. The downside of which is that I often […]
Epic Laundry Basket: D&D is to Fantasy what Pornography is to Sex
God what a title! Pity I didn’t write the article . A few minutes ago, Wally, a non-RPG blogging fan sent me an article he wrote. The insights he brings are troubling and somewhat accurate. Be warned about the explicit use of sexual language. Although, I must confess, I just can’t bear to imagine my […]
Of Fluff Kobolds and Geek Interviews
Those who have followed my antics for a long time know of my ‘fued’ with the master of settings and fluff known as Wolfgang Baur. The rules-crazy overlord in me as long since surrendered to his way of thinking where atmosphere, strong characterization and all around story goodness enhances a system’s rules. Wolfgang now pilots […]
Chatty’s Mailbox: D&D 4e with kids
Yeah, I have playing RPGs with kids on my mind lately. I’m ready to move on to new things but here’s another post in the subject. Last week I got a very interesting email from fellow Montreal reader and blogger Eric. Turns out that after a 12 year break from DMing, Eric bought 4e and […]
Bedtime Campaign: Brother and Sister in the Car Edition
Three weeks ago I was on a fairly long car trip with both my children. I decided to test freeform storytelling with both of them to see how well young siblings could cooperate. After quite a rocky start we managed to agree on some rules so we could avoid fighting and move our story forward. […]
DM Chronicles: Session 3, Snaking Toward the Lost City of ‘Meh’
Previously in Chatty’s game: Dodging rolling boulders and fighting technicolor giant snakes, our heroes explore the depth of the recently uncovered ruins of a lost civilization. They are seeking who or what sent an Ape Man assassin against them. There’s no reason to beat my DM head against the table and implore all the saints […]
Kobold Love Playtest pack available
Hey there! Last weekend I attended Draconis, a small Gaming Con in Montreal. I had the occasion to DM 2 playtest sessions of Kobold Love (one in English and one in French). I’ll post the playtest Report over at the Chatty Studios site later this week. Suffice it to say that it was very successful, […]
