Number of Views :1306Last week, the wife and I went to Central 111, a local club, for my friend’s 30th birthday. Now, mind you, it’s my first time in a club. I’ve been to bars (quite a few in Manhattan), but never a club. It was an experience, let me tell you. But, as always, [...]
Number of Views :1802I’m thinking about setting up a lunch-time campaign with some guys at work. I sent out an email, asking them their inputs on what to play. So far, I’ve got interest in Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and a game set in the wild west. Now, the logistics begin to set [...]
Number of Views :9171If you listen to RPG Circus (and you should), you know that I love skill challenges. In the latest episode, I even talked about them a bit. Skill challenges can be an incredibly useful tool in D&D. For years, DMs have used skill challenges without even realizing it, though without the guidelines [...]
Number of Views :913I know I say it all the time, but I’ve got a new series I’d like to start, and maybe see this one through to completion. I’ve previously talked about the group template. The template helps all the players to form a cohesive group, so that it makes sense for the group [...]
Number of Views :676Akin to last time, I’ll be talking about 5 random games (or supplements) I own, based on my random collection widget to the right of the blog here, generated by Geekdo.com. 1. War of the Ring I picked this one up when I was working at Uncle’s Games, back in the day. [...]
Number of Views :1717 In all my years of playing DnD, I’ve only ever had the players face one dragon. One. As a player, I myself have only faced one. One. They’ve fought through plenty of dungeons. Plenty. But a young white dragon taken down by my players, and the ancient black dragon my 7th-level [...]
Number of Views :893…as much as me. It’s true. I’m sure many DMs feel this same way, but it really shows sometime. None of them pour over the books, learning more about the world of Eberron (they’re content to let me tell them all about it in game), they don’t really care about their character [...]
Number of Views :1479Warning: This post features an adult, using adult language. You have been warned. How should language be handled in fantasy and sci-fi? Naturally, most people have heard the traditional swear-replacements in sci-fi, from “Frak” (Battlestar Galactica) to “Frell” (Farscape), from “Gorram” (Firefly) to “I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my [...]
Number of Views :529I wrote up a little introduction a couple of years ago as an introduction to a D&D campaign that never truly saw fruition. I mixed in elements from the PHB and DMG, but for a personal campaign, stealing elements here and there is all part of the game. I stumbled across it [...]
Number of Views :1056How to Host a Dungeon, by Tony Dowler, is a fantastic example of an easy to use game tool. As described in the introduction it is, “…part solo game, part toy, part toolkit for creating dungeons in the style of the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game.” Even though it refers to it [...]
