The Inner Half-Orc versus The Retro-Clone

September 1, 2009 by guest

(PM is a good friend of mine and while our interest in gaming and movies intersect, we have not roleplayed all that often together.  Here’s one of his rare, and always very entertaining posts about his experience as a closet RPG geek -ChattyDM) Where is it? I’m sure it was around here somewhere… I hear […]

PWW: Challenging the Inner Half-Orc

December 10, 2007 by guest

This week, my inner […]

Guest Post: Perspective on Weekend Wizards: A Half-orc's venture into the wild.

November 1, 2007 by The Chatty DM

This is PM’s second post of his Casual Player approach to D&D. Once again, PM’s wry humour entertains us in his tale of confronting his fears about that nasty multi-headed beast that is Role-Playing! Last week, my inner half-orc took a few steps out of the closet and while it was a bit scary out […]

Guest Post: Perspective on Weekend Wizards from a closet Half-Orc…

October 23, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Image Source: PM himself with a little help with a South Park creator, I would guess. Chatty DM: Welcome to the first of what I hope will become a series of posts by PM. PM is a friend of ours who has yet to succumb to the sweet call of RPGs, but the Evil Overlord […]
