I’m going to be a single dad for the next few days. My lovely wife is doing some consulting work in the great North and I hold the fort here in Montreal with my 6 year old son and 4 year old daughter. My online presence might be somewhat limited. Yesterday’s mail brought up a […]
2008 Origins Awards Nominees Announced
Found over at Gaming Report. Hit the jump for the full list. As usual, there’s some good stuff in there, along with a healthy dose of WTF? (For example, Bankruptcy is one of the worst games I have ever played, and yet, there it is…) Like last year, I intend to cover the awards ceremony […]
First Impressions: GTA IV
I had not originally planned to pick up Grand Theft Auto 4 anytime soon, but when your wife asks you to go out and buy GTA any hesitation would be a grievous offense. We got it for the 360 because we don’t own a PS3, and also because achievements are our console gaming lifeblood. Now […]
10 word contest update
As of 9h30 AM Thursday morning, we have 72 entrants who submitted 457 entries in the contest. I removed a few of the more nonsensical ones (mostly the ones that talked about me, the blog or old times…) I’m still thinking about how to go at it for judging. In the meantime, I’ve created a […]
DM Chronicles 16: Are we there yet?
Having been playfully accused of doing some heavy comment baiting this week, here’s a more mundane campaign log! 🙂 The RPG season is winding down. Like some of my blogging buddies, we’re slowly getting ready to call it quits and it shows in our games. Still we managed to have a good time last Friday. […]
And now a little Farniente
If y’all don’t mind, I’m going to take a night off and enjoy the ride this blog has become lately for 24 hours or so. What with the contest and all, the Chatty minions have literally taken over and I love it! Great thanks to Shamus Young, Jeff Rients, Johnn Four and all the other […]
Jeez, Just Wait ’til you Get to Liberty City…
Obviously, Joe and Hill-rod are correct about video games!
10 Word Adventures Contest at ChattyDM
Phil the Chatty DM is holding a contest to get adventure synopses/hooks. The only catch? They have to be exactly 10 words. Yours truly will be helping to judge, so head over there now and give me tons of good stuff to look at! (And steal ideas from!)
Stealing a good idea: The 10 words adventure synopsis
In order to make up for my militant rant of last night, I thought I’d steal Penny Arcade’s excellent concept and give out a little brainstorming writing assignment for your RPG campaign and then share it Here’s the assignment, write an adventure concept (any genre) in exactly 10 words and post it in the comments. […]
Inq. of the Week: Multi-Classing
I thought that Dave’s musically inclined poll last week was great, because it’s one of those general questions that I probably would have never thought to ask. It looks like the most people prefer the alternative/indie/college rock genre (69%), which I find interesting when you consider that our age poll surprised us with more people […]
