Let’s try something new. I’ve noticed lately that we have quite a few articulate and passionate people over here. Its also clear from the passions that rise around 4e that there is a lot to get out of our collective system. So instead of writing an opinion piece this morning, here is a question to […]
“Mouse Guard” RPG: A Points of Light setting
This past weekend while picking up my free comics, I grabbed the Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 collection. This is a great fantasy comic series about elite mice who protect a tiny kingdom from threats both external (crabs, snakes, and other large creatures) and internal (traitorous officials.) I had owned several of the individual issues before […]
Chatty on 4e: Schooled by the Old Combat School.
As I mentioned in my Retro-Stupid post, I feel that 4e is knowingly taking a step toward embracing the aspect of the early versions of the game that were fun while doing away with some of their unfun legacy (fun and unfun being completely subjective concepts; I think it is at the heart of many […]
10 Word Contest Update: We got Prizes!
Hey there everyone! Last Friday I sent some email feelers to three gaming companies to try to get some more prizes for the contest (as things were I had 1 Booster box of the Dungeons of Dread D&D mini game or a 15$ Gift Certificate for DriveThruRPG.com). Last night, Ed Healy of Kobold Quarterly answered […]
Chatty’s Review: Travel the World of Broadsword and kill stuff!
Last week I tackled a 5$ ‘pocket’ Sword & Sorcery RPG called Broadsword co-written by my good friend (that I have yet to met IRL) Jeff Meija, AKA The Evil DM. The game is part of the 1PG product line that offers low cost, pick up RPGs whose rules fit on just one page. This […]
Chatty’s Out of the Box #007: Itsy Bitsy and Horny
As it been a month already since I posted a Comic? Good thing I never promised to deliver this on a schedule. Here it is. As usual, click on the comic to see it full size. This time I had 2 concepts in mind: start introducing the 4e miniatures to my collection Have fun with […]
Pathfinder #8 Preview: Seven days to the Grave
I’m going to be a single dad for the next few days. My lovely wife is doing some consulting work in the great North and I hold the fort here in Montreal with my 6 year old son and 4 year old daughter. My online presence might be somewhat limited. Yesterday’s mail brought up a […]
2008 Origins Awards Nominees Announced
Found over at Gaming Report. Hit the jump for the full list. As usual, there’s some good stuff in there, along with a healthy dose of WTF? (For example, Bankruptcy is one of the worst games I have ever played, and yet, there it is…) Like last year, I intend to cover the awards ceremony […]
10 word contest update
As of 9h30 AM Thursday morning, we have 72 entrants who submitted 457 entries in the contest. I removed a few of the more nonsensical ones (mostly the ones that talked about me, the blog or old times…) I’m still thinking about how to go at it for judging. In the meantime, I’ve created a […]
DM Chronicles 16: Are we there yet?
Having been playfully accused of doing some heavy comment baiting this week, here’s a more mundane campaign log! 🙂 The RPG season is winding down. Like some of my blogging buddies, we’re slowly getting ready to call it quits and it shows in our games. Still we managed to have a good time last Friday. […]
