I, Demon: This is getting interesting…

May 19, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This is my play session log of our re-started d20 World of Darkness game (written by Monte Cook and published late last year). I’m writing in character because it allows me to explore a more narrative writing style, but I’ll pepper it with Out of Character (OOC) comments on the actual game. The main thing […]

I, Demon: The Awakening

May 17, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This series is going to be a diary-like re-telling of the d20 World of Darkness game I’ll be playing once a month. It’s going to be GMed by my buddy Franky. Way back when, we started the game but it was left aside for some time. We’re kick starting it again and this post is […]

The Case Report James will Never Write: Post me that Purple Heart, I'm gone!

November 25, 2007 by The Chatty DM

While this may look like bad Fan-fiction, it’s actually our McWod Campaign log told from the perspective of my character James Kevin Smith, Level 1 Awakened. (Franky is GMing). Posted unencrypted on alt.conspiracy.inconnu by KingofheartS on November 25th. James is lost, I don’t know for how long. We’re really hurt… both physically and… well let’s […]

PWW: The Closet Half-Orc takes another bite at roleplaying.

November 13, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Here is PM’s 3rd post where he relates his experiencs as a new Role-Player. This week he talks about our McWod game, and while some of his impressions and comments sting a bit, they are very relevant and acts, at time, as a disturbingly accurate mirror of us, the other players. This week, my inner […]

The (annotated) case reports of Agent James (Kevin) Smith: Introduction

November 10, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Decrypted from a junk post on alt.conspiracy.inconnu on November 8, 2007. Author: woKened_up_S75. It’s so easy to steal copies of classified reports when you happen to be the one who wrote them… well at least, technically speaking I did. I finally made the classes and am just one day shy of being a fully licensed […]

Chatty Player's Corner: Character Genesis

November 9, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Well it was only a matter of time. Franky went completely bonkers over Monte’s World of Darkness d20 game and he’s bought d20 Modern, the Menace Manual and other books of the genre… I can’t say I blame him… I mean look at my library… and those are mostly 3.5 books! Anyhoo, while we were […]
