(Click on the images to be able to read the word bubbles) Last week I dropped by my Favorite Local Game Store (FLGS) to buy myself a few boxes of the 1st official 4e product available: the Dungeons of Dread D&D miniature game. I purchased the Starter and 2 booster boxes. Before I dig in […]

Dungeons & Dragons: The Pen and Paper Video Game
In lieu of Mr. Gary Gygax’s passing, Gamasutra has an pretty interesting introspective on how D&D has influenced, perhaps even birthed, the modern video game, especially in consideration to the RPG and Simulation genres. It’s quite insightful and well worth reading. Registration MAY be required, but probably not. [Dungeons & Dragons: The Pen and Paper […]
When You Have GMs as Players
In the last few weeks, I’ve been discussing with Johnn Four of Roleplayingtips.com (you should subscribe!) about setting up some sort of monthly guest feature on his very popular GMing newsletter for me to share GMing tips (Notice the use of the more generic GM). Earlier today, my first column was posted here. I’m reprinting […]
Behind the Wave
I received quite a shock last night when I opened an e-mail newsletter that I somehow started getting from EB Games. You see, I haven’t been up to date with current gaming since the Gamecube was around and kicking. I noticed that it happened when I went through a lot of effort to reserve and […]

One of the many Halo 3 videos out there… but can you predict the twist? Suggested by The Foodist.
My Tax return and Hockey ate my post!
I wanted to write a post, I really did. However, with a decisive Hockey game tonight and me having to run to my accountant’s place to drop my tax papers (we’re late!!!), there’s no way I can make it. I may write one tomorrow morning. Wish my home team luck… Go Jets Habs Go! Edit: […]
Inquisition of the Week: Musical Tastes
You have spoken that the Warlord is the class you are most looking forward to in fourth edition! If only there was a way for you to get a significant preview of what the Warlord will be like. Oh wait, there is! The Warlock came in second (either because it’s the other new class, or […]
Chatty’s Mailbox: The Magnificent Villain
While I was writing my 300th milestone post, I got a very interesting email from a reader. Here’s what he wrote: Good afternoon! I’ve been a long time reader of and commenter on your blog, and I was looking for some brainstorming help. Specifically, what kind of holds could a magnificent bastard have over a […]
