Monster Manual 2 – In Depth #3
Now that the Monster Manual 2 has been out for a little bit, I figure it’s good to continue my more detailed looks at the monster inside it in case any DMs out there have put off buying it and still aren’t aware of exactly what it contains.
Friday Chat: Do You Sprinkle Silliness in your Campaigns?
The Bloodbowl 4e post with the actual rules is taking longer than planned to finish and the Ennies application process deadline came and bit me in the a$$. Instead of posting part 4 of my Dungeon Reality Show this morning, I’m posting another of those Friday questions. I’ll post the DRS one as soon as […]
With Karate (And Psionics) I’ll Kick Your Ass
Monks are Psionic. (Yes, “Martial Striker” was half wrong). As per the Design & Development article that accompanied it, Ki is a dead power source (though some third party products have already tried to use it). Personally, I have no problem with this. On multiple occasions, I attempted to run campaigns with an eastern flavor, and banned most (or all) arcane and divine classes, relying primarily on psionic and ki powered characters. Conceptually, they always seemed very close together: an internal energy source with fantastic abilities powered by intense discipline.

MM2 Worldwide D&D Game Day: Behind the Screen
Over a month ago, I discovered that Monster Manual 2 Game Day would fall smack dab in the middle of Balticon, so I decided I’d try to combine peanut butter and chocolate and sign up to run the game day at my Friendly Local Science Fiction Con. I hadn’t been happy with the previous game day at the game store closest to where I live, and didn’t particularly want to leave the con to head to a game store that day, so I navigated through the RPGA signup system to run it myself (and hey, get a pile of minis to boot).
The Dungeon Reality Show, Part 1: The Implied Setting
Over the weekend, my good friend Eric Maziade posted his Actual Play report of a game where I was a guest DM. He had invited me over last week to participate in his geek Birthday Party. We had decided that we would surprise his players with my D&D 4e/Bloodbowl mash up that I had created […]
