Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Posted by Mark on Oct 24, 2008 in Uncategorized

Number of Views :177 Okay, I need to get this off my chest: was it really so bad a movie? Me and Bridget got the new Indiana Jones movie from Netflix yesterday. We put our son down, and climbed into bed to watch. I’ve got to say: better than Temple of Doom. IT got some [...]

Off the Shelf Review: Dragonstar Starfarer's Handbook

Posted by Mark on Oct 23, 2008 in Other Systems, Reviews & Culture

Number of Views :270I’m going to start up a new series about once a week which covers reviews of various RPG books I have sitting around on my shelf. But I’m going to work a bit differently than most reviews. The premise is simple. I thumb through the book, just as one would do if [...]

Cave Bear Frenzy

Posted by Bridget on Oct 22, 2008 in 4e D&D, Fluff/Inspiration, Life, Play

Number of Views :208 Our in game table talk can really get going when we play.  Especially, if it was like last week when we all returned to gaming after a 3 week hiatus.  The laughter just kept going around the table and it was an incredibly friendly and fun atmosphere. At one point in [...]

Inconsistent Gamer Attendance

Posted by Bridget on Oct 21, 2008 in Uncategorized

Number of Views :228 I am sure at one time or another everyone has had a very valid reason for not being able to make it to a game.  It happens to everyone.  We are truly sick, have to work, have family obligations and so on. But what about those players in your group who [...]

Dynamic group changes

Posted by Mark on Oct 20, 2008 in Advice/Tools, Life

Number of Views :250Every so often, a group will go through some dramatic shifts in players. At first, there’s only one person who can’t make it, then they can’t make it frequently, then they drop out altogether. Soon, you have players dropping left and right, until you have maybe one or two players besides yourself [...]

Liquid Gaming

Posted by Bridget on Oct 19, 2008 in Advice/Tools, Fluff/Inspiration, Life, Play, Reviews & Culture

Number of Views :227 I know there are a variety of “food gamers” out there.  There are some of you who are Cheetos and Mt. Dew Players.  Some are Pretzle People.  Some are all about the granola.  Personally, I am a Liquid Gamer. What does this mean?  This means that if you are like me [...]

We Used to Be Humans or Elves or Dwarves… Now We're Just Parents

Posted by Bridget on Oct 18, 2008 in Advice/Tools, Life, Play

Number of Views :200 Gaming once you have children is, well not to be trite, ‘quite an adventure’.  It’s a whole dimension of gaming on it’s own.  Because if you’re like us and living away from anyone who you might consider to babysit then you are forced to game with your children around.  We love [...]

Thunderspire Success!

Posted by Mark on Oct 17, 2008 in 4e D&D, Play

Number of Views :190Spoilers ahead:   We finished the first night of Thunderspire Labyrinth. The players only got through one encounter, in which they saved a halfling from a gang of Hobgoblins working for a slaver’s band. They were led into an enormous hall beneath the mountain, and were given room and board for free [...]
