Linky love from a papercut DM!

March 24, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Hey there, I’m taking it cool today, Gym was tiring, and while I am working on a Robin Laws post, I realized that I need to spend a little bit more time reading up on stuff to do a good post on it. Plus, I got a paper cut on my ring finger today and […]

March 21, 2008 by The Chatty DM

YABM: Yet another Blog Milestone Having been a bit out of it in the last few weeks and having finally tackled the very passion inducing subject of 4e (and Paizo’s 3.5 strategy) I haven’t been able to personally welcome each new commenter on the blog as I tried to do before. So I’m taking a […]

YABM (Yet another Blog Milestone)

March 6, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This morning I hit 200 RSS subscribers for the 1st time! Yay! I am getting used to the fact that this Blog thing is for real, I’m still amazed that people follow my ramblings. As always, I thank you all! I’m keeping with my decision of doing few (or light) posts this week. I’ll be […]

Happy B’ Day Mr. Washington

February 18, 2008 by The Chatty DM

As I can see from the vertiginous drop in readership, this be a long weekend for my American readers. Wikipedia graciously informed me that this holiday is actually to commemorate George Washington’s B’day (do note that American History is not taught up here in Canuck land). Well, enjoy your day off one and all. I’m […]

Feeding the Geek

January 17, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Short micro non-RPG geek post. Many of the people who read blogs do so through Feed readers (there are a ton out there, I use Google Reader myself, plugged in my iGoogle page). When this blog gets accessed by this feed here it’s considered to have 1 subscriber. (BTW I’m aware that image are weirdly […]

The 4e OGL: Joining forces with my Nemesis

January 10, 2008 by The Chatty DM

A lot of digital ink has flowed on the subject of the changes to the way the 4e OGL will be handled. I’ve chimed in on Critical Hits and Omnius’ blog about it. The debate rages on and will for some time and I don’t want to spend any more on this than needed (It’s […]

My New Year's goals

January 1, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I don’t do resolutions. Personally, resolutions always imply that I need to change something. The “need to change” expression seems to be guilt-laden (yeah, I was raised a catholic) and implies that the resolution will be hard to implement and/or unpleasant. What I do set for myself are goals. For me, a goal implies that […]
