As a result of playing four very different one-shot games at DC Game Day, I condensed my thoughts about one-shots into one simple rule: Everything important on the character sheet should come up during play. It’s an easy thing to say, but not so easy to put into practice. However, I got a chance recently […]

Inq. of the Week: Video Formats?
We seem to be at an interesting crossroads when it comes to movies and video formats, with Blu-ray beating out HD DVD I assumed everything would transition over pretty quickly but it still seems that regular DVDs are the primary format for people watching movies at home.
The State of Chatty: Fall 2009 Edition
Disclamer, this is not a RPG post, at least not directly. I’m going to update readers about the state of my project and my general health. I usually always write these posts when I’m in the throes of some sort of crisis or from the depths of depression. Well I’m happy to tell you that […]
Critical Bits for the week ending 2009-11-14
Resume as D&D character sheet (via @Sernett) Wanna get rid of Treasure Parcels in 4e? I know I do. here’s my suggestion. (via @ChattyDM) Tell me how to play 4E and OD&D (so I can ignore it) (via @IAmTavis) It turns out “Winning Races: Halfings” is not about Halfling foot races, but does include magic […]
Campaign Weariness: Ending a campaign before its time
As I hinted in my last game report, I feel the urge to move on from our Primal Dungeon/City Within campaign. At 15 sessions so far, this has been the longest Mini-campaign I’ve played since we started 4e. While I think the setting is ripe for more adventures, I feel like creating/exploring a new micro-setting […]
Are You Watching Venture Brothers Yet?
About three weeks after the 3rd season of The Venture Brothers started, I wrote about it to make sure that anyone who hadn’t heard of it by then knew to check it out. Now it is three weeks into the 4th season and I’m following up. Seriously, are you watching it yet?
YouTube Tuesday: Little Great Old One Edition
As much as I would love to see last week’s video, the brilliant Googled, stick around, this past week has been particularly prolific as far as awesome YouTubes go, and so we press on! For this week, I present to you the mind-shattering(-ly cute) tale of Lil’ Ctuhlhu.
Turning D&D 4e’s Economy on its Head
I love 4e with a passion that my geek-fueled prose has expressed numerous times on various platforms. However, after having played for more than one year, I must say that I really dislike the treasure attribution mechanics and the economics underlying them. Spending time choosing magic items for my players and placing huge amounts of […]
Inq. of the Week: Story Games, Or Whatever You Want To Call Them
The three games I’m in campaigns of are all 4e. I own a fair number of games and so I get cravings for other games. Recently, a few of us have decided to embark on a mission to mix in some other games into our busy schedules, focusing on one-shot adventures such to experience a wide range of other games.
