DM Chronicles: Session 2, Indiana Gnomes and the Technicolor Snake, Part 2
See part 1 here. Spiders Blind, Strikers Shine! Fresh victim of the fiendish rolling boulder trap, Yan’s Bjerm the Fighter fell 50’… Only to land unhurt on a huge spider web while pieces of granite were punching through it left and right. As he got up, he noticed 3 Human-sized bristly spiders (a new monster […]
Review: “Mistborn”
Background: When Robert Jordan died I was surprised to hear the decision regarding finishing up his final novel, Memories of Light, was made so quickly. It fell to Brandon Sanderson, a young writer I had never heard of. Fast-forward a year or so later, and after stumbling upon his insightful blog, I took up reading […]
Project Kobold Love is re-launched!
Head on over my newest Website to witness the newly re-launched Kobold Love project. I think it’s a lot clearer for all. I also like to think that the project is now more interesting to would be participants. I’d like to know who’s still in, so please tell me over there. I made commenting less […]

Chatty’s World Tour 2008: Zurich, Basel and Penzberg
A few weeks ago, I made a joke about feeling like a Rock Star right after Gen Con. It was a quaint joke and I ran with it here and on Twitter for some time. Pretending to be a Rock Star is probably no worse than an evil Overlord. Well, here’s an occasion to to […]
Kobold Love: Interlude 4: Kicking the Little Buggers Out!
No I’m not quitting Kobold Love. However, seeing that there is recurring confusion about what the project is about, what I expect of people hacking the adventure, my publication plans and so forth, I think a fresh start is in order. Add to the fact that I’m finding that the project is robbing the blog […]
Chatty’s Question: Reactions to your RPG hobby?
1985: I’m in 6th grade and the phone rings at home. My mom picks up and another stay-at-home mom says that she heard her son talk about this new D&D game I’m playing. She warns my mother that kids who play that game have committed suicide. My mother answers that she trusts my judgment and […]

Ready to dive into the adventure? As posted in the adventure plan, Scene 1 is about the PCs getting a prophecy and facing opposition against ultra conservative elements of the dungeon before venturing forth on the surface world. When the adventure will be published in its final form, there will be a few paragraph that […]
Random Thoughts Table: Magic NPCs!
So yeah, as I was chugging along Kobold Love’s 1st scene, I hit a snag with the skill challenge and I needed help ‘debugging it’. Graham ran to the rescue but when we were done, I had 1/2 a post and very little time left for sleep. So I thought I’d share a pair of […]
