What makes one damn good music video? One of the best songs in the universe, that’s what!
Cooperative World Building
Image source: Hollow World, Basic D&D campaign Setting Earlier today, my pal Yan was telling me how much he liked the fact that I took players ideas and in-game decisions to shape the campaign world’s past and present. It’s true. From campaign to campaign, the players also occasionally glean events, places or people that were […]
"It's like… has anyone seen that movie Tron?"
I’m not sure what else I can say about this, other than at least it’s not a remake. Maybe they’ll get the cast of Babylon 5 in it again!
Scary may not be Evil… But it works!
Image Artist: Arnie Swekel Doug M. left a well written comment on my post about exploring evil in RPGs where he makes a clear distinction between Evil (The flavor, the horror, the creeping out of players), Menacing foes (More powerful than the party) and ‘I hate this guy’. This, and a funny exchange of comments […]
YouTube of the Week: One Meme to Rule Them All
A catchy song and video that summarizes most of the major web memes. Be like me and count how many you recognize, then feel bad about how you’re spending your life.

Inq. of the Week: PlayStation 3
In a showdown of upcoming superhero movies, it looks like The Dark Knight and Watchmen come out on top, with the Batman sequel one full vote in the lead! The Incredible Hulk movie got absolutely NO love, despite the changes such as Ed Norton playing Bruce Banner, a new look for the cg hulk, and […]
Guess Post: A Fey's Journal, 1st Entry
This morning I asked my good friend and long-time player Yan to prepare a player’s log to our game. I gave him the option to take it in the direction he wanted, baring some editorial oversight on my part. Yan is that ‘other’ extroverted overanalytical geek around our table. He’s passionate about the game, a […]
Tweaking Classes for Cooler Characters
The following is a Crunch-heavy post on tweaking the mechanics of D&D 3.5 character classes. As D&D 4e draws nearer I feel more and more comfortable with playing under the game’s hood. Something I would never had dared with previous editions of the game. One of the things that came out of last Friday’s game […]
DM Chronicles, Session 2: When Cool Meets Satisfaction (Part 2).
Scene 3: Evil is a matter of style Following the Self-Employed Mensa Troll, who just happened to be going where the map was leading, the PCs came into another burst Sewer tunnel leading into the darkness. That time, the passage looked like it had been man/thing made. This brought the party to a largish Cavern […]
