Number of Views :756Most gamers know the tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo. It’s been reprinted in the pages of Dragon magazine, retold by multiple geek comics (most notably Knights of the Dinner Table), and often told as a “this happened to my friend” story. For those who still don’t know what I’m talking [...]
Number of Views :642I’ve noticed that, for many players, the choice of what god their character worships in D&D ends at character creation. They choose the god who most matches their character’s class or race, then never think of it again. If their character likes luck and freedom, they choose Avandra. If they’re an elf, [...]
Number of Views :1606This is part of this month’s blog carnival. I have a few different subjects to talk about on the matter of travel, so this is probably the first of many. In my games (predominantly Star Wars and D&D), I have varying methods of handling the subject of travel. In Star Wars, I [...]
Number of Views :695I recieved a lot of great comments on my post about evil campaigns, including a great blog post over at the Power Word: Blog, where Kevin talks about the subject. He mentions that in the end, most evil groups will implode due to one thing: self-centeredness. If you look at Lord of [...]

Number of Views :1957I’ve only tried running an evil campaign twice in my life, and only succeeded once, and that was a one-shot. The first time, I decided to try a Star Wars D20 game in which all the players were dark Jedi, summoned by the Emperor for a very specific task. Everyone made characters [...]
Number of Views :2731Recently, I noticed a trend in gamers to switch up their dice. This would happen for several reasons: simply finding something shiny & new, old dice were rolling badly, or for the reason I am going to speak of below: changing dice with changing characters or games. Many players change their dice [...]
Number of Views :1604I recently received a review copy of Martial Flavor from Hannah “Swordgleam” Lipsky of Chaotic Shiny Productions, a new 4e book. Let’s dive in and see some of the excellent features. The book is a 55-page pdf, with some great cover art by Rachel Yung, featuring a human and Tiefling fighting one [...]
Number of Views :778You’ll notice that there is a tab on the right side that puts up various games in my collection, courtesy of geekdo.com, also known as boardgamegeek.com. I’ve decided that on occasion, I’ll bring up my website, see the 5 random games it generates, and talk a little about them. Note that these [...]
