One of the things I love doing online is bringing people together. I love to see new communities prosper and people meeting new people. That’s why I was so excited to co-Create the RPG bloggers project. I also love to gently push people to become more, to try scary, unsure things. I say that success […]
Jouer aux JdR en Français
I apologize to my English readers (i.e 85+% of you), this is a one-shot French post to discuss how I play RPGs in that language and to check how many of my readers read French. Time to brush up on your high school/college French or to fire up an online translator. J’écris très peu en […]
D&D Starter Set Released
The new D&D Starter Set has been released, providing a simple entry into the world of D&D for new or lapsed player, and coincidentally, making a great gift in time for the holidays. (If I had young relatives who were interested in D&D, I’d definitely get one of these for them.) According to the Previews […]
Pain of Campaigning VII: The Finale (Part I: What You Want the Adventure to be)
Well, if you’re reading this with a finale on the horizon, first, let me say: Congratulations! I can honestly say that amongst the best DMs I know that the prospect of actually having a campaign reaching a conclusion, rather than dying out, is no greater than 50%… and that’s a generous estimate. Personally, my latest […]
Chatty’s Question: Gaming S.O.?
This post was inspired by this one. Okay, I spent all evening prepping for tomorrow’s game, which is on with 4 players. So I thought now was as good a time to ask you one of my patented question to blatantly bait for comments and entertain me. Do you have a Significant Other? If so, […]

Adventure Prep: Pirate Dragons, Ninja Apes and Hot Fighter-Librarian Chick
This is part of a very long running series where I share how I go at prepping my D&D games a few days before our bi-monthly game night. I might not have a game Friday, my roll call so far confirms 2 missing players (Cleric and Wizard) and unless all remaining four confirm, the game […]
The State of Chatty: Fall Edition
I’ll try real hard not to make this post into yet another tortured artist Emo crap. I seem to do one every three months or so… please bear with me, it’s quite therapeutic. As I mentioned earlier this year, I’m one of those blessed creatively hyperactive personalities. The downside of which is that I often […]
Epic Laundry Basket: D&D is to Fantasy what Pornography is to Sex
God what a title! Pity I didn’t write the article . A few minutes ago, Wally, a non-RPG blogging fan sent me an article he wrote. The insights he brings are troubling and somewhat accurate. Be warned about the explicit use of sexual language. Although, I must confess, I just can’t bear to imagine my […]
