I have read the system – it’s a pretty nice system – but it’s no more a new edition of Dungens and Dragons than a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a revision of a 1940s Willys Jeep. The problem lies in its being called something it is not – a new edition of an existing […]
DM Chronicles: Session 3, Snaking Toward the Lost City of ‘Meh’
Previously in Chatty’s game: Dodging rolling boulders and fighting technicolor giant snakes, our heroes explore the depth of the recently uncovered ruins of a lost civilization. They are seeking who or what sent an Ape Man assassin against them. There’s no reason to beat my DM head against the table and implore all the saints […]
Inquisition of the Week: Upcoming 4e Options
Last week, with comics on the brain, we asked what kind of comics you read. 62% of you read Webcomics, possibly because they’re great, possibly because they’re free. Second at 48% are mainstream comics that you can pick up in most comic stores (and some book stores.) Third are the indie/self-published fans are at 30%. […]

See part 1 here. Spiders Blind, Strikers Shine! Fresh victim of the fiendish rolling boulder trap, Yan’s Bjerm the Fighter fell 50’… Only to land unhurt on a huge spider web while pieces of granite were punching through it left and right. As he got up, he noticed 3 Human-sized bristly spiders (a new monster […]

Kobold Love: Dungeon Diplomacy! Part 1
Ready to dive into the adventure? As posted in the adventure plan, Scene 1 is about the PCs getting a prophecy and facing opposition against ultra conservative elements of the dungeon before venturing forth on the surface world. When the adventure will be published in its final form, there will be a few paragraph that […]
Kobold Love: Intro, Background and Summary, Part 1
I’m the type of person who needs to understand a process before tackling it head on. That’s why this post is more about context and theory than actually writing Kobold Love’s first part. Bear with me, it will be worth it. First Impressions are capital When a DM opens up a D&D adventure booklet, the […]
Drunken D&D: Funny Quotes
