Until Fox pulls it from YouTube, here’s the appearance of Alan Moore, Art Spiegelman, and Dan Clowes on The Simpsons. Edit- they pulled it! You can watch the episode over at Fox’s site if you’re willing to install their movie plugin, reboot, then view it again. Boo on Fox… let us watch our clips on […]

YouTube of the Week: Konami Code Activate Edition
Hey, those guys who did that awesome Punch-Out trailer also did a trailer for Contra! They even decided to toss in a few other action movie references to round it out. Here’s hoping River City Ransom is next for Team Awesome!
"You've made me so happy! We could really use a healer!"
The dangers of playing WoW. (thanks, Amber!)
Inq. of the Week: Best. Game. Ever.
I’ve decided to let last week’s poll on what kind of games you play run for another week to try to get a few more responses in. It’s great to see that everybody that comes here plays some kind of games, and there are many (like myself and Wooglin) that play everything! “We do not […]
Adventure Prep: My Recent Time Management Shortcuts

The special challenge of DMing for adult gamers
There is quite an interesting discussion going on over the Okay…your Turn RPG forums (a very classy, mostly D&D/Iron Heroes/Arcana Evolved/ Ptolus gaming forum) about the Dungeon Masters having become the Dungeon Servants. This discussion brought me additional insights about a subject that has been brewing in my mind for some time now. You see, […]
Ahhhhh, now everything seems to work just fine.
We had a great crunchy game last night… with lot’s of laughs and a lot of Flight of the Conchords videos during dinner… (Sorry embeding a YouTube Video seems to break the page… to be checked) As you can see, I switched themes to a darker, less colorful one than the Sci-Fi theme. (To be […]
Call to all minions!
It’s been while since I made a Crunch Overlord post (I can already hear Yan groan). But as I did last time I’ll actually add some usefull RPG table psychology stuff. Its also a community thing, I hope you won’t be too offended if I call you minions… 🙂 Also just so were all on […]
Mini-Crunch: The Golem's Magical Immunities
When Grandaddy Gygax created the various types of Golem (borrowed from Jewish folklore I believe… Yup that’s right), I think he was aiming at a Monster that would be hard to deal with at High Level and that would allow Fighters and other non-spell casters a chance to shine with their +3 weapons. That concept […]
