(This post was written in a Coffeehouse in Switzerland, how cool is that?) On the last day of Gen Con, I was sitting in a Restaurant (The Ram if I recall, I had the Salmon, delicious), surrounded by my friends from Critical-Hits and Stupid Ranger. We were all dead tired, living off our energy reserves […]

Review: “Well of Ascension”
(Note: Spoilers for Mistborn included) Background: Initially taking up Brandon Sanderson’s novels as a means to gain an insight into the impending finale of Wheel of Time, I found an author with both a fertile imagination and a true appreciation for the craft of storytelling. Having finished The Well of Ascension, his third novel, and […]
DM Chronicle: Session 4, This.Is.Epic! Part 2
See Part 1 here. Rumble in the Temple! Now that Dragora had finished saying what she had to say, the PCs attacked. Or maybe she did, I forget, these accounts are not renowned for their journalistic accuracy. Dragora was a level 7 soldier based on the Fighter Template. I added 3 Zain-Kin minions and one […]
May The DPS Be With You
IGN calls it “one of the worst kept secrets in the industry“, but the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO was announced at a huge event yesterday. Details are still scarce, but like any number of other MMOs, you can join the Good Guys or the Bad Guys, with some potential moral grays. (“For the […]
The end of “fully randomized” D&D Miniatures
All my scoop sources just lit up with this announcement: D&D Miniatures, after the next set, will no longer be sold in completely random boosters. According to the release, there will be “D&D Heroes” sets that will be sold in packaging that makes all the figures visible, so you already know what you’re getting. Each […]

Spotted in several places lately, here’s the GM Hold Music.
DM Chronicle: Session 4, This.is.Epic! Part 1
(You know what I miss in this blog? Me being chatty like hell… time to change that!) Previously in Chatty’s Game: Our heroes discovered an ancient Serpent Temple where lost magic was recovered from the coils of spectral ophidian guardians. Following sinuous caverns, they came upon an opening high over the ruins of a Lost City inhabited […]
Little Big Planet’s Delay Has a Fortunate Side Effect
I don’t even have a PS3 but I heard the news (via kotaku, joystiq, slashdot, and every other gaming publication) about Little Big Planet‘s delay. What was strange was the reason – for a song. I’m not going to bother getting into the silliness of the whole thing but it has spawned a side effect […]
Inq. of the Week: Favorite Undead?
Last week, since they started charging for it, we asked how many of you were planning on buying D&D Insider. Surprisingly (to me), the highest group was among those who would be paying the fee to get Dragon and Dungeon back (in digital form) and who play D&D 4e. A close second, however, was those […]
The New Gamemaster: Friends and Ressources
One of the things I love doing online is bringing people together. I love to see new communities prosper and people meeting new people. That’s why I was so excited to co-Create the RPG bloggers project. I also love to gently push people to become more, to try scary, unsure things. I say that success […]
