Well, if you’re reading this with a finale on the horizon, first, let me say: Congratulations! I can honestly say that amongst the best DMs I know that the prospect of actually having a campaign reaching a conclusion, rather than dying out, is no greater than 50%… and that’s a generous estimate. Personally, my latest […]
Chatty’s Question: Gaming S.O.?
This post was inspired by this one. Okay, I spent all evening prepping for tomorrow’s game, which is on with 4 players. So I thought now was as good a time to ask you one of my patented question to blatantly bait for comments and entertain me. Do you have a Significant Other? If so, […]

Adventure Prep: Pirate Dragons, Ninja Apes and Hot Fighter-Librarian Chick
This is part of a very long running series where I share how I go at prepping my D&D games a few days before our bi-monthly game night. I might not have a game Friday, my roll call so far confirms 2 missing players (Cleric and Wizard) and unless all remaining four confirm, the game […]
Epic Laundry Basket: D&D is to Fantasy what Pornography is to Sex
God what a title! Pity I didn’t write the article . A few minutes ago, Wally, a non-RPG blogging fan sent me an article he wrote. The insights he brings are troubling and somewhat accurate. Be warned about the explicit use of sexual language. Although, I must confess, I just can’t bear to imagine my […]

Those of you who want to buy D&D Insider now have your chance to subscribe and get access to Dragon, Dungeon, bonus tools, and the Compendium (which I had more opportunities to work with over the weekend, and discovered a few issues in the content.) I’ll be purchasing mine later on in the evening, partially […]
Of Fluff Kobolds and Geek Interviews
Those who have followed my antics for a long time know of my ‘fued’ with the master of settings and fluff known as Wolfgang Baur. The rules-crazy overlord in me as long since surrendered to his way of thinking where atmosphere, strong characterization and all around story goodness enhances a system’s rules. Wolfgang now pilots […]
Inq. of the Week: D&D Insider?
Rumors are going around that this week D&D Insider will be switching over to paid only accounts, which means that we will no longer be getting a decent amount of free content in the online Dragon and Dungeon magazines. What this does mean is that hopefully Wizards is getting a few steps closer to launching […]
Chatty’s Mailbox: D&D 4e with kids
Yeah, I have playing RPGs with kids on my mind lately. I’m ready to move on to new things but here’s another post in the subject. Last week I got a very interesting email from fellow Montreal reader and blogger Eric. Turns out that after a 12 year break from DMing, Eric bought 4e and […]
Review: “Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song”
Overview: “Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song” (hereafter referred to as FH) is another option for adding Barbarians, Druids, Bards, and Monks into your 4e game before the official versions are fully released. Many of the classes feel a bit complex, but do a good job of capturing a particular aspect of each of these […]
