Twas' the Night Before Tesla
On this fine holiday eve, I was scouring the internets and ran into this beauty. A “Tesla Tree“. A shot of a christmas tree made of discharges of Tesla Coils. This DIY project may just be a time-lapsed photo with some color filters to add some holiday cheer, but the geekiness of it just brings […]
My Perfect Geeky Christmas list!
The Soap image comes from Sean K. Reynolds’ wife business. She makes Geeky soaps, have a look! Here’s my list: I want someone working at WotC to comment on my blog I want my wife to download the second season of Heroes I want D&D 4e to be as kickass as what the previews make […]
Feel Good Movie of the Year
This has to be seen to be believed. The Shining as a sappy Romantic Comedy Now, one very amusing thing you could do with this (not that I’m advocating it, of course), would be to show this trailer to someone who has never seen the movie. Particularly someone who hates horror films. And then get […]
Inq. of the Week: 2007 vs. 2008

Mini-Trope: No, I won't let you tell me about your character…
A few weeks ago, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post about tropish DMs. Tonight I felt like tackling the equivalent for players. Once again this is going to be a satirical post and not an actual critic on play style. As usual, if this offends you…. ah heck, it’s not like I’m shopping for new players… […]
Chatty's Review: Silvervine, Introduction
Shortly after I re-posted Greywulf’s ‘DM/GM requirements Specification’ for a RPG (called the Dungeonmaster’s Creed), I got an Email from John Arcadian who I knew as a longtime Treasure Tables Commenter. Well after having read the Creed, John told me that he and a few collaborators, were working on a new RPG system called Silvervine […]
