These cartoons put out by Wizards have been around for a few months now, but I only just found them on YouTube. They’re better than I would have thought, though not without some cheesiness.
Addendum to Adventure Prep and Open Captioned Bragging Contest
I can’t write an actual post tonight I have quite a large game to prep because my players decided they wanted to talk with a god and then have a stroll in Asgard/Ysgard… Were I playing 2e Planescape, I could just say “Tough luck, you don’t have the proper portal key”. However, since it’s one […]
Adventure Prep: Icing on a planar cake
This post is part of a series that covers the preparations I do for my current D&D campaign. You can follow it here. Yay! Hopefully we’ll have a game this week. Eric, Franky and Yan have confirmed their presence, I just need Math or Stef to confirm and we’re good to go. My players are […]
Inq. of the Week: Ask the D&D Designers
86% of you are looking forward to seeing my man, The Batman, return to the big screen. 81% of you are looking forward to our favorite whip-wielding, snake-fearing Archaeologist returning for another adventure. Sorry Wachowski Brothers, only 14% of our readers are going to take a ride on the Mach 5, the lowest out of […]
Chatty’s Out of the Box #002 : Linear Thinking.
Here’s another stab at this Webcomic thing. Click on image to see full comic (and click again if it can be zoomed further). I had a thousand ideas for the second one all to be crammed in 6 panels. Then I realized that pacing can be different in a comic and that my many gags […]
Chatty’s Review: Silvervine, Detailed Mechanics
This post is part of a series that tackles the reading review of a yet unpublished RPG called Silvervine. Please note that this game is still in development, my review is part of the pre-playtest feedback. Last time I tackled Basic Mechanics, now it’s time for the 2nd (of 3) posts on the game’s Crunchy […]
Rogue’s Gallery
For those who missed it. Wizards if the Coast previewed the 4e Rogue’s abilities. Sticking to my low 4e hype mission, I invite you to drop by Dave and Bart’s Critical hits for the discussion. I’ll only add that what really sparks my interest is the Attacks vs Wis, Dex or Fort mechanics thatare a […]
Sneak Attack!
One more significant preview of 4e D&D has been released before a lot more is given away at the D&D Experience. The entire Rogue class has been posted for your amusement/derision. Just a few things that stood out to me: No more rolling for hit points. You get a fixed amount at first level, and […]
Updating the social contract
Last night we spent the evening playing Magic the Gathering because 2 of our players were missing. Our current social contract stipulates that if one player is missing, we play but if two aren’t there, we postpone the game. We’ve had this “clause” for about 5 years and it’s worked pretty well. However, we’ve had […]
Fantasy Flight Games Continues Fantasy/Sci-Fi Domination by Partnering with Games Workshop
This is a pretty big deal. To back up a second… Games Workshop has recently been working on consolidating their product line down to their core, while expanding their line of retail shops. This means they were focusing their efforts on selling Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warhammer 40k, and Lord of the Rings. However, they did […]
