A very Goblin X-mas

December 25, 2007 by The Chatty DM

What would be X-mas morning without a Goblin Song…. (Taken from the Paizo Blog) (Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells) Sneaking through your yard, Going through your stuff, Hope you didn’t like your dog; we got a little rough! Tied him to a stump. Lit the stump on fire. Maybe you’ll wake up in […]

Twas' the Night Before Tesla

December 24, 2007 by The Bored Gamer

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 […]

Feel Good Movie of the Year

December 24, 2007 by DarthCthulhu

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

December 23, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked if the winter months = more gaming. While most of you don’t change your gaming habits, there were plenty of you who said you game all the much more when there’s snow on the ground, whether it be from more time at home or just the lack of schoolwork. I myself […]

Thanks to Poker, Antigua is New Pirate Haven

December 23, 2007 by Dave

In a strange epilogue to the decision by the United States government (pre-midterm changeover) to place limits on funding for online poker, the country of Antigua has won the legal right to ignore US copyrights thanks to the World Trade Organization. From the New York Times: The award follows a W.T.O. ruling that Washington had […]

Mini-Trope: No, I won't let you tell me about your character…

December 22, 2007 by The Chatty DM

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… […]
