Around these parts, Portal has seen a slight insurgence, thanks to me lending Bartoneus and Sucilaria The Orange Box. I actually had to get them to shut it down at a party last Saturday so that I could feed my Rock Band addiction and caterwaul through my rendition of Ballroom Blitz. This actually allowed them […]
Martial Arts + Chinese Bear + Jack Black = COOL!
Yeah I’m in a YouTube mood… John, I want you to stat me up a Kung Fu Panda in Silvervine for Gen Con, not negociable!
The Guild, a WoW micro Sitcom.
It’s probably old hat for a lot of you but a few weeks ago, friends of mine stumbled onto that… Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 You can find the next 7 here. I took a day off today (yay!) but the D&D game was cancelled because of lack of two players…. I guess I’ll […]
Robin’s Laws Revisited: Part 3, Picking up your set of rules
This post is part of a series that explores Robin Laws’ seminal work on GMing, Robin’s Laws of Good Gamemastering and adds my thoughts on the same subject. This time, we tackle choosing a Rule set which is very actual since we’re at the butt end of D&D’s current edition. Part 1 can be found […]
Guest Post over at Dungeonmastering.com

Of Martians and JJ Abrams
One day, a week or two ago, I came across this story about images sent back from the Mars Spirit Rover. What you see to the right is a small version of a panorama taken at a crater on Mars from this mission, and you can see a super high quality version at Nasa’s site […]
DM Chronicles: The legend of the Broken Dice, Session 2, Part 2
See part 1 here. Before getting into the actual dungeon crawl, as pointed out by Yan in the comments yesterday, I realized that PM was the only PC moving at a speed of 4 squares (20′). He was wearing Scale Mail, which has the same AC bonus as a Chain Shirt, only cheaper and bulkier. […]
“TETSUO!” “TITANIC!”
Did not see that one coming… Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce a live-action version of anime classic Akira. Technology may have finally caught up to the point where doing live-action Akira is more feasible than it once was. But how faithful will it be to the original? Who will direct? Will DiCaprio take a […]
DM Chronicles: The legend of the Broken Dice, Session 2, Part 1
Way back in October, I played a one shot adventure using Paizo’s Pathfinder #1, Burnt Offering. I wrote the session’s log here. We reconvened last Sunday for another session in a day long geekfest of Dim Sum, Anime and D&D. So on Sunday Morning we arrived at PM’s palace of Cats (he has 2) in […]
Finished the format war has
Toshiba announced today it would stop making HD-DVD equipment. Since they were the primary backer of the format, I think it’s safe to say the HD-DVD format is dead in the water, and the Blu-Ray emerges victorious… …Except I don’t think I know anyone who owns either one, except for those that happen to be […]
