Chatty steps on the stage and walks up to the mike, looking nervous. He clears his throat, takes a deep breath and starts. How ya doin? Nice to see y’all here. All right, what’s the deal with potions? I mean it’s a spell that you drink. You chug that little bottle of power and it […]
Chatty’s Random Thoughts: Potions
WotC: “That $5k license thing? Just kidding.”
Some new details about the GSL finally posted after a lot of speculation and delay. Sounds like you can be approved to use a “D&D Compatible” logo, and anyone can use a GSL after publication. (And no one is going to have to pay $5k.) This ends the conspiracy theories that Hasbro insisted that they […]
The Stages of a RPG Team’s Development, Part 6: Stagnation
Somewhere between September and October of 2007, I wrote a series about comparing a RPG gaming group to a workplace project team. The analogy was rather solid and I got a lot of good feedback on it. Since then, I was pointed toward Kyle Aaron’s similar work over here. There, he pointed out a key […]
Heroes, Paragons, and Epics
In the run-up to Fourth Edition, WotC has promised that they will be doing updates and previews three times a week. (I promise we won’t post about every single one, just the interesting ones.) Today’s update is a doozy: it’s all about the three tiers of play. It describes, generally, what you can do at […]
A RPG Truism
Over at Twenty-Sided, Shamus posted about The Sims and how some people enjoy this far longer than others. In one of his argument, he mentions his prolonged interests in Shooter type games. When challenged by a hypothetical person of a different demographics (man I love how he dodged so many mines in that post*) he […]
Steampunk Star Wars RPG… How cool would it be?
I love the concept of Steampunk Star Wars, I really do. It blends two styles that I really love: Space Opera and Jules Vernes’ Victorian setting. As I already talked about, blending two cool things together can result in an explosion of cool. I mean, just look at the Spork! (Credit: Graham) For instance, look […]
YouTube of the Week: Personal Bard Edition
A video that tells us what we already know: Bards are annoying. Found via Geek’s Dream Girl.
Inq. of the Week: So Full of Class?
Okay so Dave managed to prove me wrong when I said it felt like a lot of people were getting tired of April Fool’s on the internet. The most people voted that some of the pranks are fun, but some are getting tired, while almost as many people said that they love how creative some […]
DM Chronicles 15: Weathering the Apocalyspe with your Poker Buddies
In the game session 2 weeks ago, I concluded the party’s foray in the Demonwebs layer of the Abyss with the wretching of Ptolus (the campaign’s home base) out of the material world and plopping it up in another layer of the Abyss ruled by the Demon Prince Gratzz. Last Friday’s game wasn’t stellar nor […]
