Voting has opened in the Ennie Awards and we are nominated for Best Website. We’re up against tough competition: every single one of the other nominees puts out a site that I quite enjoy and visit regularly, as well as all being run by great people whom I consider friends (even the ones I’ve never […]
Drunken D&D Adventure Design
In a few weeks I’ll land in Indianapolis where 6 friends will be waiting to start our annual Drunken D&D game, a happy mix of D&D and collegiate drinking games. I’ll be the DM of this event and that means that I need to write an adventure for it. I’ll be spending a few nights […]
Chatty’s Pick for the Best Website Ennies
As many of you know, today marks the first day that you can vote at the Ennies. As some of you many also know, I entered Musings of the Chatty DM for the second time this year and I didn’t get nominated. In fact, last year, I entered the contest as a dare with a […]
Robin Laws Revisited: The Complete Series
This post bring together all the articles I wrote about Robin Laws of Good Game Mastering from January 2008 to July 2009. For those who haven’t heard or seen it, this book, published in 1999, gives advice on being a Game Master (irrespective of game systems). The series was aimed at revisiting it in the […]
Robin Laws Revisited, Part 9: Conclusions (His and Mine)
Back in January 2008, I purchased a PDF called Robin Laws’ of Good Game Mastering over at the Steve Jackson Games’ PDF store. I had heard of that book from many GMs and I had seen it at my favorite game store. More importantly however, I had recently read (and been blown away by) his […]
Review: “Eberron Campaign Guide”
The DM companion book to the Eberron Player’s Guide, the Eberron Campaign Guide presents all of the information a DM could need to run a 4th Edition D&D game in the unique and interesting fantasy world of Eberron. Unlike the Player’s Guide, this is a book that mostly only DMs who want to run a game in Eberron are going to want to buy.
YouTube Tuesday: Left 4 A Wonderful World Edition
We’ve had reasonable zombies, now how about a montage of uplifting zombies? (thanks, Joshx0rfz)
It’s a Circus out here!
To say that I’m busy would be a gross understatement. I’m slowly getting accustomed to working full time after 5 months of sick-leave. However, my freelance to do list starts here and ends up somewhere behind Saturn… or so it seems to me. Here’s a little sample: Build the One Page Dungeon PDF with Chgowhiz. […]
Inq. of the Week: Sources of Power?
Just before the Player’s Handbook 2 was released back in March I wrote an inquisition asking which power source people most wanted to see in the PHB3, the source that won the poll was psionics so it seems the PHB3 is shaping up to meet a lot of expectations already but unfortunately shortly afterward we discovered that WotC has abandoned the Ki power source concept which came in second in the poll.
Two Words to Convince You to Buy Kobold Quarterly #10
Gelantinous Cubes. We don’t have to tell you that Kobold Quarterly is great, or that it’s been nominated for 3 Ennies (though it’s going down in the Best Website category!), or that it includes tons of material for both 3.5 players (with a preview of Pathfinder) and 4e player. We don’t have to tell you […]
