See part 1 here. After the fight and Eric’s Bare-assed performance we moved on the evening’s 3rd scene. Now I won’t get into details of the scene, because there’s no way I could describe it without spending hundreds of words in backstory. Let’s just say that this time I really managed to surpass my tendency […]
Chatty’s Out of the Box #005: Right Said Slaad!
Here’s a new comic with my favorite Green Spawn of Chaos! As usual, click thumbnail. This time I’ve officially teamed up with PM who contributed to the writing and the Photoshoping. He deserves his share of the credit and here it is. I think we’re on to something here and we already have brainstormed a […]
DM Chronicles, Session 13: Of Moons and Xanathos Railroads, Part 1
This post is part of a series that chronicles our current D&D 3.5 campaign. To say that last Friday’s game wasn’t intense would be a bald faced lie… it just wasn’t intense for the reasons I planned for. This time around I won’t go into details of our actual story. First because it get so […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: The Crowning Moment of a Character
As I reading through the recent changes on TVtropes.org, I stumbled upon a Trope whose application to RPGs is as simple as it is brilliant: Crowning Moment Of Awesome The moment in a show when a character does something for which they will be remembered forever, winning for them the eternal loyalty of fans. While […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: This is the End, Friend
No no, I’m not ending this series, no worries. As mentioned here, I’m exploring “Endings” as applied to RPG campaigns… Many long-lasting Role playing campaigns based on power-gaining PCs hinge around a progressively increasing threat that almost invariably escalate to the World Destroying level. The threat usually takes the form of an impeding Cataclysm that […]
Theme Week: Endings
As I was planning my blogging week I realized that I had a running theme going on. So much so that I decided to make it official! Since I’m planning the end of my D&D 3.5 campaign in the next 3 months, I decided to spend the week dealing with endings of all kinds: Today’s […]
DM Chronicles, Session 12: The Great Game! Part 1
I guess I had to complain about attendance in order to get a full house last Friday as everyone showed up! Yay! Franky and Stef showed up first and I got to clean the floor with them in a few Magic game with my rebel and Elf decks. Then Yan showed up and we teamed […]
The Rule of Fun!
(Image stolen from Critical Hits) This blog was more or less noticed because of one short text I wrote way back last summer about a Wiki I discovered and a fundamental rule that I believed a successful DM should live by. There is another one, related to the Rule of Cool, made specifically for games: […]
Chatty’s Out of the Box #002 : Linear Thinking.
Here’s another stab at this Webcomic thing. Click on image to see full comic (and click again if it can be zoomed further). I had a thousand ideas for the second one all to be crammed in 6 panels. Then I realized that pacing can be different in a comic and that my many gags […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Have Time, Will Travel.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the Bronze Dragon flying toward the sunset. In that post I challenged readers with a stupid question and the winner(s) could chose the subject of a Trope in RPG post. Davetrollkin stepped up first and requested I tackle Time Travel. Since time travel, much like the […]
