July 28, 2008 by Bartoneus

The Dark Knight dominated its second weekend, but who is surprised by that with competition like the way late X-Files movie sequel and Will Ferrell’s latest movie Step Brothers?  It raked in $75 million on its second weekend, which is very impressive and left the second place movie way behind at $30 million.  Last week […]

So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 4: Who?

July 27, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Last week I initiated a series on starting and running a RPG blog based on my own experiences. It was supposed to be only one post, but I should know better by now, right? I started with the ‘Why‘, then I tackled the ‘How‘ and the ‘What‘ of RPG blogging. Today I’m going to talk […]

Clean up in Aisle 4!

July 26, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Hey all, Without getting into details (in order not to break my Golden rule of Blogging), the ‘big thing’ I was waiting for didn’t pan out. I’m done with disappointment and I’m moving on to re-organizing my projects. One of the things I’ll be doing over the next few days is to re-tag my whole […]

GenCon Pros: Tell me about True Dungeon

July 25, 2008 by Dave

So thanks to an old friend (and Killer DM), it looks like I will have a chance to play in a True Dungeon session. I’ve never been in one before, and it sounds like the session I will be playing in will be in Hardcore mode (whatever that means.) I’ve gone on to the website […]

A Corpse, a Belltower, and Yog-Sothoth: Favorite RPG Moments

July 24, 2008 by Dave

Bartoneus and joshx0rfz have started talking about some of their favorite RPG moments, and I was asked to share mine. I tend to GM much more than play, so mine are more about what my players have done than what I’ve done as a player. This story is always the first one that comes to […]

Press “A” Repeatedly to Torture Moloch

July 23, 2008 by Dave

Continuing the spin-up of the hype machine for the Watchmen movie, downloadable episodic Watchmen video games are coming. The developer claims that this will give them more time to actually produce a quality game, unlike the vast majority of movie cash-in tie-in games. The games will follow the adventures of Nite Owl and Rorschach, I’m […]

So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 3: What?

July 23, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I started this series to share my views on starting and maintaining a RPG blog.  I first explored the “Why” and then the “How” of RPG blogging, both of which applied, more or less, to all blogs. Today I want to delve in the specific aspect of RPG blogging which is the “What” of our […]
