This Friday is the year’s last game session. It also coincides with the last session of the Seed of Sehan campaign arc I adapted from Dungeon Magazine to Ptolus. See here for the whole Campaign so far… As mentioned before, the game has been prepared for quite some time now and I’ve had time to […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Ice Ice Baby!
This morning, I posted about my Winter adventures on the forums here. That’s my car if you were wondering… after I dug it out! Shortly after, Omnius, who’s allergic to snow I’m told, wrote a good weather-themed post. Well all that snow and ice also inspired me to go dig in the TV tropes site […]
RPG Lessons from my kids: Never curb your enthusiasm!
Have you ever noticed that bloggers have a tendency to take whatever thing that happened in their life lately and write all the post of the following days about that very thing… Well I’m no exception… 🙂 I got the idea for this post while my 5 year-old son was very enthusiastically beating my Mii […]

Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Gravity? Pfaa!
It’s been quite some time I’ve posted an honest to goodness, fluff-rich Mining Tropes post. I’m also nearing the end of the tropes fueled by the Rule of Cool, so I combined two tropes that share a certain ‘airy’ theme as a tribute to a sub-series I really enjoyed writing! Asian Wire-fu and Anime is […]
D&D and the Bardic Afterlife
I haven’t paid that much attention to 4th Edition so far, either I’ve been too busy or I’m really looking forward to having some surprises when it finally comes out. Back when Dave posted his first impressions of it I became really excited because it seemed, against all odds, that the designers at WotC were […]
A million grognards crying out at once
Wizards released the cover designs for a number of D&D4e books. Mostly I thought they looked pretty good, with some nice touches here and there. Then I saw this:
(Not so)Mini-Crunch: Killer Cyborg Ogre Ninja
When I opened the forums last weekend (come on, join us!), I created a ‘technical issues and complaints’ board. In order to fluff it up, I wrote that it was being manned by a smiling Killer Cyborg Ogre Ninja. Somehow this sparked enough interest for some readers ask to have it stated up. While I’ll […]
Armor Check Penalty Applies for Fetch
Armor for Dogs (and other animals) is apparently available. It comes in both light and heavy armor, in case your dog is supposed to be a rogue or a fighter respectively. (thanks, joshx0rfz)
The Dungeonmaster's Creed
This is a repost from Greywulf’s blog. It rings true enough to my needs as a role player to warrant a re-post. Although I can live with 3 core books… 😀 Maybe if enough of us post this, some wizards who work by the sea will take notice. If you agree, please say so in […]
