Last week, my good friend Dave of Critical Hits and RPGblogger’s Network fame asked me to write a little note for his girlfriend’s (‘e’ of Geeks’ Dream Girl) birthday. Being overly Chatty and prone to a certain dose of creative crazyness, I decided to all out geek and delivered the following Birthday Challenge! Wish Her […]
Friday Chat: Dealing with Storytellers
In my discussions with several readers and friends, I noticed that many RPG group are divided into two broad categories of gamers.

4e Lite
I think you could take 4e and remove the powers system for a “rules-lighter” experience. Here’s roughly how it would go:

Mining the 4E “Eberron Player’s Guide”
If you’re an Eberron fan and a 4th Edition player than there’s really no doubt that you’ve picked up the Player’s Guide today or are planning on picking it up in the next few days.

They found their powers mostly useless against the creature, and scrambled to improvise other alternatives aboard a the ship.

Friday Chat: Nerd Projectitis
(I’m posting this early to get our Euro/Asia/Down Under friends to comment) Way back when, I posted about the Nerd Handbook, a must-read article for all geeks and their significant others.
