Quick, Quiet, and Wild

December 21, 2007 by Dave

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!

December 20, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Yeah my beautiful Half-Celestial wife Alexandra turns ## today (Yeah like I’d say that on the Web and expect to live). The whole family is going to the restaurant tonight and I don’t think that going online to blog after the kids are in bed is going to make me a popular guy in the […]

Adventure Prep: Finishing a Campaign Arc

December 19, 2007 by The Chatty DM

This Friday is the year’s last game session. It also coincides with the last session of the Seed of Sehan campaign arc I adapted from Dungeon Magazine to Ptolus. See here for the whole Campaign so far… As mentioned before, the game has been prepared for quite some time now and I’ve had time to […]

Toss another Halfling into the endzone!

December 19, 2007 by Dave

Spotted this at BGN: next year, expect a PC version of my favorite Games Workshop game Blood Bowl, with an Xbox 360 version to follow later in the year. This is not the first computer version of BB, but it has been a while: the previous one ran on DOS. The article has this to […]

Nasty, filthy, Hobbitses

December 18, 2007 by Dave

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!

December 18, 2007 by The Chatty DM

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 […]

YouTube Tuesday: The Dark Knight Trailer

December 17, 2007 by Bartoneus

Unless you went out and saw I Am Legend over the weekend, you may not have seen the new Dark Knight trailer which is finally available online through you tube or via the movie / viral marketing website.  If you go to the website you can see and download a higher quality version, or if […]

Inq. of the Week: 'Tis the Season

December 17, 2007 by Bartoneus

In Dave’s scandalous question from last week about everyone’s pirating habits we were not surprised to see that a lot of people do resort to downloading things online.  Interesting enough there was a spike in the results where people download content online illegally specifically when it is not available through any other means, illustrating what […]
