Kotaku reports that Darth Vader will appear as a special character in Soul Calibur IV for PS3, and Yoda will appear in the Xbox 360 version. Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game franchise, with a history of strange guest starring characters (Spawn and Link, anyone?) I was ready to give the fourth installment a […]
What Awaits my Players…
I finished my game prep early enough to drop by here and make another mini-post. This time it’s a preview of what awaits my players and is also a showcase of what you can do with the D&D battlemaps, tiles and miniatures. First we have our heroes leaving the Styx’ Oarsman, a newly opened inn […]
Mini-Link: Iron Heroes Total Fanboi cop-out from an actual post
That title reminds me that I still haven’t received my Pathfinder #4 yet… I need to drop Paizo a line… The US Postal Service is, shall we say, not the swiftest there is. I already mentioned there might not be a post tonight, well this one is, sort of. It’s just not as meaty as […]
New Search feature being playtested
Following Greywulf’s glowing review, I signed up for Lijit’s search service which offers full blog search as well as for those of my blogroll and other feeds I added to it. Fell free to play with it and comment on how it turns out. If you prefer the original WordPress one, just tell me (and […]
Review: Freezepop "Future Future Future Perfect"
Freezepop isn’t a household band name, but gamers have a greater chance of recognizing their brand of catchy synthpop. The band has contributed songs to a few video games (most notably for bonus tracks in Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, and Rock Band– one of the members of the band works for Harmonix.) They also […]
(Not so)Mini-Crunch: Magic loot by any other name.
I’m fresh back from the Gym, proud in my willpower to have resisted the pull of World of Warcraft and the Blog to take care of me first…. I’m also quite aware of the WotC announcement about the way they plan to handle the next version of the OGL and it’s associated brand license (the […]
Today's 4e Announcement and What It Means For You
Pretty big announcement from WotC, as covered by ENWorld, about the future of the licensing agreement formerly known as the d20 License. Most of it won’t matter to the casual D&D player. But here’s some tidbits that might be important (and keep in mind, everything is subject to change, this is all interpretation): Until 2009, […]
YouTube of the Week: Gonna Set This Straight Edition
Proof that great minds think alike: Conan shows off his Rock Band skills, and his favorite song to sing is the same as mine.
Robin's Laws Revisited: Part 1, The Rule 0 of DMing
At the eve of my 25th RPG/GMing birthday, I’m actually reading something I told myself I’d read but never did up till now: The award winning Robin’s Laws of Good Game Mastering. (Copyright 2002 by Steve Jackson Games Inc). To say that it’s a good read for all DM/GM is an understatement and is well […]
Mini-Link: Non-RPG geekiness
Since I actually posted today’s article yesterday morning, here’s a very short something about my non-RPG interests. Like a lot of tabletop RPG aficionados, I like geeky stuff. My favorites are about technology, vintage video games, movies, cool TV series and doing stuff with kids. So far my blog list for those is rather limited. […]
