From a Gtalk discussion earlier with Dave the Game about a game he played in over the weekend. Dave: But I think (the DM) also hit on a new rule of DMing in a later part of the adventure We arrived in a new town, snuck through it, etc. Basically (this) gave us a new […]
Chatty jumps from an unexpected cliff… and catches an updraft.
Last week I was prepping for a one shot D&D 4e game. I got this really good idea and it started eating my brain as good runaway ideas are wont to do. I sat down to write a blog post about it when my nascent buisness sense chimed in. You see, after Gen Con, the […]
Ideas File: Writing a D&D for Children Adventure
So I was talking with friends on Twitter and someone mentioned the Monster Manual Gnome and his Pet Weasel named Francis. Many people remember that it was kicked out of the scene by a Tiefling Warlock in the D&D 4e promotional TV ads. That gave me an Idea I do not currently have the time […]

The RPG Blog Carnival‘s idea started with Johnathan of The Core Mechanic (Although Geek’s Dream Girl used to do it too): Initial Idea (Subject: Resurrection) Roundup Then Donny the DM took up the torch This is Homebrew Roundup This month I offered to take up the torch and reinforce a nascent RPG blogging meme that […]

Chatty’s Question: Losing it, RPG style!
There’s been a ‘nostalgic’ revival of anti-D&D material on several blogs lately (Sorry if I don’t link, I don’t have the time right now). I saw the movie Mazes and Monsters about 20 years ago and like all 15 year old teenager geeks, I scoffed at the plot and snickered at all the ways the […]

You can find the project’s main page here and check on those who manifested interest in tackling the community part of of this project. […]
I am a Writer…
On the way back from Gen Con, my mind shifted into a seldom before attained creative overdrive (I’m going through another one today it seems). During my flights back I created Chatty Studios, Kobold Love and I wrote a post about being a writer in the RPG industry. I submitted that text to Bob Younce, […]
Bedtime Campaign: Nico outsmarts Smaug the Dragon!
