I decided a few weeks ago that weekend posts would be experimental in nature. This is where I would test out new concepts or potential series, a writing workbench so to speak. This week, I’m posting a review of a product a friend of mine read and I interviewed him on it. I’m calling this […]
Afterschool Trope Post: Holy Super Heroic Fantasy Batman!
This month, I am the custodian of the RPGbloggers Monthly Carnival which is about Super Heroes. I thought it would be a perfect occasion to do a new Trope post about mixing some Super Heroes in my D&D Kool Aid! Trope: A narrative shortcut taken in a story that the audience will recognize and have […]
DM Chronicle: Session 4, This.Is.Epic! Part 2
See Part 1 here. Rumble in the Temple! Now that Dragora had finished saying what she had to say, the PCs attacked. Or maybe she did, I forget, these accounts are not renowned for their journalistic accuracy. Dragora was a level 7 soldier based on the Fighter Template. I added 3 Zain-Kin minions and one […]
DM Chronicle: Session 4, This.is.Epic! Part 1
(You know what I miss in this blog? Me being chatty like hell… time to change that!) Previously in Chatty’s Game: Our heroes discovered an ancient Serpent Temple where lost magic was recovered from the coils of spectral ophidian guardians. Following sinuous caverns, they came upon an opening high over the ruins of a Lost City inhabited […]
D&D Starter Set Released
The new D&D Starter Set has been released, providing a simple entry into the world of D&D for new or lapsed player, and coincidentally, making a great gift in time for the holidays. (If I had young relatives who were interested in D&D, I’d definitely get one of these for them.) According to the Previews […]

D&D Insider Now Available for Purchase (and New EULA)
Those of you who want to buy D&D Insider now have your chance to subscribe and get access to Dragon, Dungeon, bonus tools, and the Compendium (which I had more opportunities to work with over the weekend, and discovered a few issues in the content.) I’ll be purchasing mine later on in the evening, partially […]
Inq. of the Week: D&D Insider?
Rumors are going around that this week D&D Insider will be switching over to paid only accounts, which means that we will no longer be getting a decent amount of free content in the online Dragon and Dungeon magazines. What this does mean is that hopefully Wizards is getting a few steps closer to launching […]
Chatty’s Mailbox: D&D 4e with kids
Yeah, I have playing RPGs with kids on my mind lately. I’m ready to move on to new things but here’s another post in the subject. Last week I got a very interesting email from fellow Montreal reader and blogger Eric. Turns out that after a 12 year break from DMing, Eric bought 4e and […]
Review: “Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song”
Overview: “Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song” (hereafter referred to as FH) is another option for adding Barbarians, Druids, Bards, and Monks into your 4e game before the official versions are fully released. Many of the classes feel a bit complex, but do a good job of capturing a particular aspect of each of these […]
