My kids are starting the primary school equivalent of spring break (i.e no school, but no partying in Florida either) so I decided to slow down a bit on the blog this week. Expect a one or two-part post on last Friday’s game tonight and maybe tomorrow but not much else this week. I could […]
D&D XP: Random Crunchy Bits
Danny and I are back from the D&D XP. I decided not to pay for the flaky hotel wi-fi to be able to do updates from the show floor. We played three games today: the first Living Forgotten Realms adventure,”Escape from Sembia” (which essentially ended in the second encounter as a TPK), press dungeon delve […]
Chatty’s Out of the Box #003: Lean and Green!
Here’s another comic! This time with some Quality Control by my good friend PM. I decided to leave our Plastic Pirate to his interview and explore new characters. The Green Slaad is too ridiculous a figurine not to make him part of the comic. This joke came to me this morning and it needed to […]
4e linkies
Everyone talks about 4e since the D&D experience is ongoing. Have a look over at Critical Hits, they are my official source of 4e stuff. Even I can’t stay calm and unfazed by what Dave and Bart are uncovering. D&D 4e will be a different game, as much as 2e and 3e were different games. […]
The Rule of Fun!
(Image stolen from Critical Hits) This blog was more or less noticed because of one short text I wrote way back last summer about a Wiki I discovered and a fundamental rule that I believed a successful DM should live by. There is another one, related to the Rule of Cool, made specifically for games: […]
D&D XP Dungeon Delve Characters
This afternoon Dave and I got to play in the 4th Edition Dungeon Delve, which is a group of about 10 tables set up with various dungeons pre-set that the RPGA staff (and some occasional Wizards employees) were kind enough to run. It was meant to be just hack & slash, get through the monsters […]
D&D XP Coverage
Here’s where we’ll post links to the different articles for the D&D XP. Seminar Photo Set on Flickr Dungeon Delve Sheets (Fighter, Wizard, Paladin) Interview with Sara Girard and Rob Heinsoo Interview with Andy Collins and Scott Rouse (Part 1) (Part 2) Preview mini from “Against the Giants” set Stats for some monsters from Dungeons […]
D&D XP Seminar
This is just a dump of my notes from the Seminar, which I’ll be editing when I get a chance! 9:38- Laptop set up in the Potomac room. The room is maybe ¾ capacity, in a fairly inefficient banquet table format. 9:40- Danny returns with “What you need to know about D&D 4th edition […]
Mini-Fluff: More on-the-fly world building
Mini-posts are approx. 500 words posts on one of my pet subjects. I usually do them when I have a busy evening, like Adventure Preping or doing things like, you know, exercise! I’m deep in adventure prep, deeper than I have been for a long time. I don’t know if it’s the same for you […]
Game Review: Turok, Tur-ACK!
Quiet…. can you hear that? It’s not far off… maybe thirty yards away. That sound- it can only be one thing. The Suck. Now I’m not one to usually voice my overwhelming disappointment in a video game ( I usually save that for real people and situations) but this is one infraction I just can’t […]
