We had a great game yesterday and I’ll have a lot to say about it soon. However, I’d like to post Yan’s journal entry 1st so I can build on it instead of playing it safe. So you’ll see it all later this week.Yesterday before the game, I went to my Favorite Local Game Store […]
Tomorrow is Worldwide D&D Game Day
Grab a d20 and head on down to Worldwide D&D Game Day! Well… maybe. The official WotC page says “pre-register with [a retailer] today!” Lame… I want to be able to walk into a store and play something and not be bound to an RPGA-ish schedule. Thankfully, here in Maryland we have plenty of quality […]
Guest Post: Perspective on Weekend Wizards: A Half-orc's venture into the wild.
This is PM’s second post of his Casual Player approach to D&D. Once again, PM’s wry humour entertains us in his tale of confronting his fears about that nasty multi-headed beast that is Role-Playing! Last week, my inner half-orc took a few steps out of the closet and while it was a bit scary out […]
A few quick Halloween hits…
I’ve been getting a kick out of Zombie Fluxx lately, after a while of being burnt out on Fluxx. It adds some new neat things to the game, and hey, it’s got lots of zombies and classic zombie references. I’ve been hearing good things about Last Night on Earth as a bigger zombie board game, […]
RPG Superstar!
Paizo, the fine folks behind many awesome Dungeon and Dragon issues (until recently), have started a new contest to attract people to the RPG writing biz. They’re calling it “RPG Superstar“, and the first stage of the contest, a completely open call, starts today and accepts submissions for the next two weeks. The first thing […]
Mining Tropes for RPG nuggets: Halloween Special!
This is a boring, repeating preface nobody reads anymore. It links to stuff I wrote some time ago that has a vague thematic link to what I’m about to write here… Actually this is a Very D&D specific Trope post. It features a lot of Crunchy bits… like the candy I’m eating right now…The kids […]
Adventure Prep, Session 5: When Frustration leads to Inspiration
Okay, so this week’s game is a transition from my adaptation of the Vile Addiction adventure (From Dungeon Magazine #145) to its sequel, Spawn of Sehan from #146. Going in this week’s preparations, I had the following goals: Focus the adventure on the more impatient Butt Kickers like Eric and Math to make up for […]
YouTubes of the Week: No Connection At All Edition
Two videos I just had to blog about this week, but they’re both short. The first, “Mike Tyson’s Brunch Out” which is hilarious and difficult to describe. And after the jump, the first trailer for the first Dragonlance animated movie… and boy, it does not look good, despite some awesome voice talent.
Campaign Fluff Tools
Tonight I had planned to write an Adventure Prep post for this week’s game, but I don’t have a lot of time and will do it Tuesday evening. Instead I’m whipping up a short post on some Fluffy tools I use to better create a sense of immersion in our games.One of the walls of […]
Tweaking Classes for Cooler Characters, Parts Deux
As I was gearing up for preparing this week’s game, I reviewed the player’s ‘satisfaction levels’ with their characters. By tackling this early this week, I might be able to address any issues before Friday’s game. For those who follow the antics of my gaming group (either from my logs or from a Yan’s) you […]
