The Dark Knight dominated its second weekend, but who is surprised by that with competition like the way late X-Files movie sequel and Will Ferrell’s latest movie Step Brothers?

So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 4: Who?
Last week I initiated a series on starting and running a RPG blog based on my own experiences. It was supposed to be only one post, but I should know better by now, right? I started with the ‘Why‘, then I tackled the ‘How‘ and the ‘What‘ of RPG blogging. Today I’m going to talk […]
GenCon Pros: Tell me about True Dungeon
So thanks to an old friend (and Killer DM), it looks like I will have a chance to play in a True Dungeon session. I’ve never been in one before, and it sounds like the session I will be playing in will be in Hardcore mode (whatever that means.) I’ve gone on to the website […]
A Corpse, a Belltower, and Yog-Sothoth: Favorite RPG Moments
Bartoneus and joshx0rfz have started talking about some of their favorite RPG moments, and I was asked to share mine. I tend to GM much more than play, so mine are more about what my players have done than what I’ve done as a player. This story is always the first one that comes to […]

Chatty’s Questions: Heroes’ Feast
One of the philosophy of tabletop gaming I adhere to is Cheetoism, which basically boils down to: We game for the snacks. And also the dice. But mostly, just to hang out with friends and tell tall stories I used to be more hardcore about ‘THE GAME’ until I realized that my gaming friends weren’t […]
One Sentence NPC Update
I haven’t forgotten about you. The One Sentence contest closed last week end. I formatted all entries posted on the blog and sent them to Johnn Four for processing. As soon as I hear from him, I’ll let you know. We’ll post the edited entries here and on Johnn’s site (I think). P.S. Did ya […]

Since the last thing I want is to create a hassle for readers and delay their comments, I’ve booted Defensio out and reactivated Akismet.
