Lies, All Lies (and a Mindflayer)

April 2, 2008 by Dave

Obviously, I don’t give a crap about Celebrity Gossip and Canadian Politics (as should be evidenced by my difficulty writing about it.) Nor are we filthy rich, especially not as a result of the site. (Though we did get a new advertiser today… coincidence?) In the midst of all the brilliant gags posted by Wizards, […]

DM Chronicles, Session 14: You Wanted Planescape? You Got It!

April 1, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This is part of a long running series that chronicles my current D&D campaign set in an adapted version of Ptolus. Oh yeah… I’m not actually quitting.. While it is a lot of work, I’m still having fun here. Last game I played a rather badly designed plot exposition scene that left our enjoyment of […]

A New Direction

April 1, 2008 by Dave

Obviously, if Chatty has found a new source of income, we can too. For that reason, we’ve decided to change our coverage a bit here in order to deliver the news that you have been requesting for a long time. Besides, as of today, this industry just isn’t the same. ENWorld now exclusively covers OD&D. […]

YouTube of the Week: Blah Blah Mr. Freeman Edition

Half Life in 60 Seconds. Spoilers, kinda?

It’s time to move on…

April 1, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I think many of you saw the signs in the last few days… longer periods between posts, a few personal posts about blogging vs real life and general funkyness. Well after thinking about it long and hard, I’ve decided that it’s time I moved on to more productive things. So I’m going to start writing […]

Decipher’s “Fight Klub” Tough to Decipher

March 31, 2008 by Dave

The company behind the old Star Wars and Star Trek CCGs, which ran into various business issues in the past (that I assumed meant we had seen the last of them) is releasing… something. What is that something? It’s still fairly mysterious, but damn if it isn’t ambitious. Let me see if I can try […]

Inq. of the Week: Who’s your Dragon?

March 31, 2008 by Bartoneus

Inspired by our recent X-Box LANfest, Dave asked everyone what they would do in the event of a Zombie Attack / infestation / outbreak / brunch.  Mmmm, Zombie-brunch.  45% of you said you would gladly grab a weapon and start killing – everyone you ever knew, loved, or cared about – because really they’re trying […]

Chatty’s Out of the Box #006: Gummy Dragons

March 30, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Here’s another comic with some new characters, once again done with the creative support of my good friend PM. It was about time that I put my gargantuan and Colossal dragons to use, it’s not like I ever needed them in my actual games. I owe the original idea of this comic to Scotticus, thanks […]

Found a name for my gaming group!

March 29, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Yesterday, before we started our bi-monthly D&D game, I had to step outside to go and get the last player from the Subway station nearby. As I got out, I noticed that out of the seven people that play in our group, 4 own a Ford Focus Station Wagon (So Ronin, I may have to […]
