I don’t even remember now how I came into the site, but somehow I wandered over to the College Humor video section, and found that they’ve started a series of short movies called “Street Fighter: The Later Years.” It’s quite funny and there are even a few twists and turns (and just enough special effects […]
Mini-Posts: New Features for busy days
I’m currently sicker than I have been in many years. I have the constitution of an Ox and a cold is usually only a 24-48 hour thing, but I caught one of those once-per-5 years bug that slays me. Now I’m stuck home for the second day and it sucks because I have trouble concentrating […]
The Blog's Feed
I have been asked this twice and I realized that there’s no intuitive way to know this so here is the Blog’s feed: http://chattydm.net/?feed=rss2 While on the subject of Feeds, Tangent128 nicely reminds us that http://chattydm.net/?feed=atom also works. And finally, I went out and subscribed to FeedBurner so here is another feed. http://feeds.feedburner.com/ChattyDm Now you’ll […]
Adventure Prep: Tomb Re-engineering 101
Okay, I got sick last night, probably with the same bugs my wife and kids have been fighting these last 2 weeks. Hopefully I’ll get better for Friday’s game. If not well I just might have to pull the plug on it no matter how I’d much rather not do this. This week’s Adventure prep […]
PWW: The Closet Half-Orc takes another bite at roleplaying.
Here is PM’s 3rd post where he relates his experiencs as a new Role-Player. This week he talks about our McWod game, and while some of his impressions and comments sting a bit, they are very relevant and acts, at time, as a disturbingly accurate mirror of us, the other players. This week, my inner […]
YouTube of the Week: Racing Boxes, Tables, and Chairs Edition
A stop-motion, live-action homage to the Mario Kart games. My favorite part is how they make the invincible star effect- you just gotta see it. Also a guest appearance by a 40k army!
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: What a Coincidence!
It’s been some time since I last posted an article in the Tropes series. What can I say? It’s been a busy 2 weeks! This post will tie in directly with tomorrow’s Adventure Prep post for this week’s game. There you are, sitting wherever it is you sit when preparing your next adventure. You want […]
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
You’ve been camped in the tall grass for half the game, waiting patiently. Suddenly in the distance you see a lone figure kneeling behind a crate exchanging fire with an unknown target. You raise your rifle scope to your eye and zero in on your target. He’s stopped firing and appears to be holding his […]
I dig my new digs! Thanks everyone!
The move is done and the furniture is in place. A few things will stay wonky for some time but all critical things are in place. The Fortress of Crunch is open for business! (Try fluffing me out of this dear Mr. Baur! Mwa Ha ha ha!!!) I’d like to thanks the following people who […]
Inq. of the Week: Games You Play
Two weeks ago Dave asked about your views on Web-vertising and it looks like a large majority just tune out Google ads all together, a whopping 48% of you! Smaller groups found them sometimes handy but mostly unobtrusive or make effective use of sophisticated ad-blocking software to make sure that they are none-the-wiser to this […]
