I’m slowly catching up on things. A few weeks ago, I launched a contest to get people to submit Characterization tips to help me and my group get better tools to create better integrated adventuring parties. Well I had about 40 tips from 20 people. Quite a nice turnout given that characterization is not the […]
How to Compare Birds to Fish
A common topic has come up several times throughout various discussions that has been wracking my brain lately. The discussions it has been most prevalent in are ones that pertain to game design, and specifically tabletop games or computer games. About two days ago a reader commented on my post which was mostly ranting about […]
Chatty’s Debate: How far can a DM go?
Okay… I may be swamped but there are limits to what I can tolerate in other DMs. Heather’s been comparing her experience with her Game Day DMs and what she is reading in the DMG (she is a newbie RPGer and wants to try her hand at DMing. However as she reads, she is getting […]
I’m swamped! Obligatory Link cop-out!
I can’t seem to find time to read the Core books and I’d like to take a stab at reviewing them soon. I have to write my monthly column for Roleplayingtips.com. Plus I have to do the draw for the Story/characterization contest. I also have to do some maintenance on the blog, add a few […]
