Chatty’s Questions: What’s your Dice Fetish?
I’m almost done with my Gen Con Seminar prep, I should be done by Tuesday and come back with meatier fare soon after. Here’s another content light post!

Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Season 1 Boxed Set
One of the lessons I learned from the Ennies Nominations is that my Site could gain from better navigation tools. This post is a step in this direction as I’ll put a link to it in my sidebar. Director’s Intro: I discovered the TVTropes wiki on the ‘Okay…Your Turn‘ gaming forum early in September 2007 […]
Warhammer 40k 5th Edition Released Today
The 5th edition of Warhammer 40k was officially released today, according to the Games Workshop website. I wrote a preview of 5th edition a while back, for those who are interested in my thoughts on the new system. As I haven’t bought the new rules yet, I will reserve judgement on it until a later date.

App Store for the iPhone which allows you to download games for the glorious piece of sexy technology. I bought one back in september […]
The 2008 Ennies: Chatty Walks Away, Disappointed.
Well Yax made it and I didn’t. See here for nominations. Congrats Yax, you created and developed quite an accessible, and interesting quality RPG site! I’m disappointed, for sure, but not bitter. I gave it the good old college try and will likely enter again next year. By submitting the site so early in it’s […]
Musings on Musings of the Chatty DM
Hey there. I know no one believes me when I say I stop/slow down my posts. I won’t say it anymore. Suffice it to say that I’ve stopped writing posts that take me more than 45 minutes to write since the last 2 weeks (including the Open Letter) as I’m preparing my Gen Con presentation. […]
