My son Nico will be undergoing ear surgery tomorrow. As things stand, I’ll likely be at the hospital for most, if not all of tomorrow (and the following night). I have a Players Handbook 2 preview planned for tomorrow but there’s good chances I won’t be there to respond to comments until late Friday night […]
Interview: Monte Cook about Dungeonaday.com
Monte Cook just announced his ambitious new project: Dungeonaday.com. Of course, as primarily a 4e DM and player, my first question was “would I be able to use it in my campaign?” So I went to the source, and asked Mr. Cook himself that very question, along with a few others.

Chatty’s Megadungeon: Foundations
Aptly enough, Monte launched his new Megadungeon project, have a look here. Like lightning, inspiration struck me over the weekend. Last Friday’s musings on Megadungeons has left my brain splattered all over the place with a ton of ideas for adapting the old concept to my current way of playing the game. I’ve got so […]
DM Chronicles: Session 11, Foray into the Well of Demons, part 2
See part 1 here. With all that shared narrative and roleplaying out of the way (just kidding…mostly), the players were ready to start exploring the Well of Demons. I must say that I really like this part of the adventure. It was the first one that reads like a true dungeon crawl. It’s made up […]
Inq. of the Week: Who Watched the Watchmen?
My sense when it was being advertised, and especially after seeing it, is that the movie is something of a tough sell. It’s long, it’s R rated, and it’s fairly high concept as far as movies with this kind of advertising budget go. Early box office receipts are panning that out, and I’m not confident in its word of mouth to those who aren’t fans of the original.
DM Chronicles: Session 11, Foray into the Well of Demons, part 1
Previously in Chatty’s game: Our heroes, with a treacherous doppelganger in their ranks, faced the Duergar leader in his abode. When failure seemed imminent, the wounded grey dwarf leader sought help from his minions stationed in a nearby room and like a horde they poured in and surrounded our wounded, tired heroes. Against all odds, […]
Watchmen…
…is to become Saturday morning cartoon… !? Watchmen is a serious, serious bit of graphic novel, even with meta-powered individuals populating its story. Written by psychedelically charged soul-delver Alan Moore, it is a seminal piece of literature, and I might almost be excited to see them release a movie of it this week. But I […]

Catch that Wagon: Return to the Mega-Dungeon
I’ve been trying to write that post all day long and I keep getting distracted… I can feel it coming.. one of my dreaded/beloved consciousness-devouring, depression-killing creative surges… I have dungeons on my mind. More precisely, I think about Mega-Dungeons, a lot. Those huge, multi-leveled sprawling complex that were at the core of the first […]
