Some weekend Portal viewing

March 21, 2008 by Dave

Stop-motion Portal Lego video, set to the awesome end song. The CH crew will be spending this weekend playing Xbox (and maybe some Wii and other games as well), so mayhap we’ll get a chance to play some games we haven’t played before, or maybe we’ll just play a lot of Halo 3 and Rock […]

YABM: Welcome new commenters, almost 2000 comments!

March 21, 2008 by The Chatty DM

YABM: Yet another Blog Milestone Having been a bit out of it in the last few weeks and having finally tackled the very passion inducing subject of 4e (and Paizo’s 3.5 strategy) I haven’t been able to personally welcome each new commenter on the blog as I tried to do before. So I’m taking a […]

DM Chronicles, Session 13: Of Moons and Xanathos Railroads, Part 2

March 20, 2008 by The Chatty DM

See part 1 here. After the fight and Eric’s Bare-assed performance we moved on the evening’s 3rd scene. Now I won’t get into details of the scene, because there’s no way I could describe it without spending hundreds of words in backstory. Let’s just say that this time I really managed to surpass my tendency […]

Anime Batman and Other Hidden Comic Movies

March 20, 2008 by Dave

By now, most of you are probably aware of all the big superhero movies coming out this summer. However, there are a few other projects that haven’t gotten quite as much attention that I’m interested in. Justice League: New Frontier was released recently, and since I was a huge fan of the original comic, I […]

Chatty’s Out of the Box #005: Right Said Slaad!

March 19, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Here’s a new comic with my favorite Green Spawn of Chaos! As usual, click thumbnail. This time I’ve officially teamed up with PM who contributed to the writing and the Photoshoping. He deserves his share of the credit and here it is. I think we’re on to something here and we already have brainstormed a […]

Paizo’s 3.75

March 19, 2008 by Dave

Paizo announced yesterday that they will be sticking with their own re-branded version of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 for their popular (and well made) Pathfinder series. The Pathfinder RPG will serve as the core book, which will update the 3.5 D&D Rules. You can even download the nice-looking Alpha document from Paizo’s site now. After […]

Inq. of the Mid-Week: The Golden Age

March 19, 2008 by Bartoneus

Woops!  Apparently Monday came and went while I was lost somewhere within the house, and so I bring you a mid-week Inquisition.  The 3 people that voted in last week’s poll since Monday, you’re welcome!  Last week’s involved Dave’s rampant reading of excellent webcomics and making terrible family-puns, where he asked which of the classic […]

This Just in… Pathfinder to remain 3.5

DM Chronicles, Session 13: Of Moons and Xanathos Railroads, Part 1

March 18, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This post is part of a series that chronicles our current D&D 3.5 campaign. To say that last Friday’s game wasn’t intense would be a bald faced lie… it just wasn’t intense for the reasons I planned for. This time around I won’t go into details of our actual story. First because it get so […]

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic
