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 […]
Quick, Quiet, and Wild
Wizards of the Coast has given 4e anticipaters a holiday present in the form of the entire Elf entry from the Player’s Handbook. (And no, there’s nothing about them building toys.) There’s nothing terribly shocking to those of us who have been following all the 4e previews: there’s no penalty to stats anymore, just bonuses, […]

No post tonight… Wifey's Birthday!

Toss another Halfling into the endzone!

Nasty, filthy, Hobbitses
The story that’s popping up all over almost every blog I’ve read today: New Line has kissed Peter Jackson’s ass enough so that he’ll come back to executive produce The Hobbit and an unnamed sequel to The Hobbit. (My vote is for Hobbit 2: Electric Bugaloo) Jackson, however, is looking unlikely to actually direct the […]
Holiday Blog schedule, some Stats and Season's Wishes!
Yup, Christmas vacations are coming. I’m lucky to get a full week off work and I will enjoy it. On the blog side, I’ve adopted a temporary daily Mini-post (500 words or less) strategy since last weekend and I plan to maintain it up until January 2nd or so. Of course, I’ll drop by with […]
Chinese Fighting Three Stooges
At some points it’s only two, but at all times it is awesome. Linky linky
