I was taught in Project Management classes (I did 6 months of them) that it’s good practice and useful to go over a completed project and do what is called a Post-Mortem analysis. Well my last D&D 3.5 campaign has been completed for more than 2 weeks and I thought, while I await for my […]
For a lucky few, 4dventure begins
Looks like a certain online seller shipped out at least some of its copies of the 4th edition D&D core books almost two weeks before the street date when they were supposed to start selling it.

Out with a Bang: D&D Finale Checklist
Back from Balticon, full of caffeine, and ready to work on the finale for my campaign! I’ve actually managed to keep my prepwork pretty light for this campaign.

Chatty’s Reviews: Wii Fit, the True Coach. Guilt and Insults included!
Yo, it’s me again, that blogger from That Other Site, offering you yet another review of a Wii title. About a week before Mother’s day, I heard about Wii Fit being released on the North American market. Not having read anything other than a short blurb about it coming with some sort of smart Step […]
