YouTube of the Week: Assassin Revealed Edition

Inq. of the Week: April Fools

April 7, 2008 by Dave

Last week, we determined what we already knew: Red Dragons Rule! (And there are many reasons why.) What was surprising was the furious battle for second place. The sleek Silvers edged out the majestic Golds and sinister Blacks. White dragons went a long time without a single vote (maybe because their breath weapon sucks), but […]

(Really)Mini-Post: A GM’s Authority

April 7, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I took two days off from work today and tomorrow and that somewhat includes blogging (unless I get an inspiration like I just did now). I’m currently writing a guest post for another RPG site and while I was editing my work, I added this small sentence: It’s one thing to have a rule book […]

Chatty on 4e: Retro-Stupid vs… well Retro-Stupid

April 6, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This is the second in an series of articles where I tackle 2 short subjects on 4e from a DM’s perspective and ask for your thoughts. The 1st one can be found here. While I was reading stuff on D&D 4e on the various blogs, news sites and the Worlds and Monsters book (which I […]

Some Quick Stuffs

April 4, 2008 by Bartoneus

I can’t believe it was a year ago today that I posted my mocking comic of Dave being a french-blob game designer, but today he left again for his “secret con” that maybe he’ll find some sneaky internet lurking around out there to update us all on how it’s going. Keith Baker posted a great […]

How’s my health? Much Better

April 4, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Much like a nasty kidney stone, my work-related milestone passed (with resounding success). As you may have noticed, my posting schedule has recovered and actual RPG related postings have started creeping back in the content. (Sprinkled with non gaming stuff… chances are this will stay like that). I’m much better. After 3 full weeks of […]

Pathfinder #7 Preview: Curse of the Crimson Throne #1

April 4, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I’m having issues with uploading images to the blog’s server. That’s why this one actually points to Paizo’s site… I’m going to take a different approach with this series of review. While I’ll still list what’s in the adventure, I’ll add more of a review element to it. Paizo started publishing their own 3.5 OGL […]

The Castration of the LAN

April 3, 2008 by Bartoneus

Two weeks ago a bunch of us gathered to share in some X-Box LAN goodness, we managed to get about 12-14 people together with 3 tv’s, 4 x-box 360’s, one sweet-ass projector with sound system, and play a bunch of rounds of Halo 3.  There was also some Rockband on the large projector, as well […]

Mobile Phones in Cars

April 3, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I only have one blog and I need to rant about something totally unrelated to RPGs… but somewhat geeky… so feel free to move on or add some oil on the fire. On April 1st, a new law (for real, not as an April Fool’s) passed in Quebec that strictly forbids the use of hand-held […]

Pathfinder Preview: Curse of the Crimsom Throne Player’s Guide

April 2, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I got a nice, very red, surprise in the mail yesterday. It was Paizo’s Pathfinder #7, the 1st adventure of the series’ second Adventure Path, along with a copy of the player’s guide. Since I got the guide this time, I thought I’d preview it first and then tackle the adventure tomorrow. The Curse of […]
