Number of Views :678That’s right, in less than a month, I’ll be packing up Bridget and Gabe and heading to the windy midwest. I’ll be working as webmaster for the Reserve Component Command there. And I’ll be needing a gaming group. Bridget and I realize we’ll probably be spending our first few months playing Descent [...]
Number of Views :1887Big applause for Wizards, who have released, for free, a version of D&D for kids entitled Monster Slayers: The Heroes of Hesiod. Apparently, it’s based on a new book D&D is coming out with. What I really like is both the simple art, as well as the simple rules. The game is [...]
Number of Views :849 Knowing I’ll be moving soon has gotten me thinking of new D&D campaigns. In my next campaign, do I want to use previously created settings, such as Eberron, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance and Midnight, or do I want to make up my own campaign world, giving it the full breadth of originality [...]
Number of Views :873I may be shooting myself in the foot by putting this idea out there, due to my general lack of the ability to finish anything. Someone will probably take this idea and have it out on RPGNow within a week. If anyone is interested in helping me out with this, let me [...]
Number of Views :863A little off topic from RPGs directly, but I’ve found (as I’m sure many have) that most comments I get here at Dice Monkey are primarily from other members of the RPG Blogger’s Network. Now, this isn’t to say it’s a bad thing. At this point, the RPGBN has, what, about 200 [...]
Number of Views :3402Right now I’ve got a ton of different projects on my plate which are in different phases of incompletion, as well as a couple of campaigns I’ve tried to start up and failed. First off, at the top of my to do list, is Conflict, a 3.5/Pathfinder RPG designed for PVP combat [...]
Number of Views :2891On a recent episode of Fear the Boot, the hosts discussed “lying to your players”. You’ll note I put that in quotes. They had a serious issue with the idea of telling your players one thing, then revealing it to not be true later on. They worried it would break player/GM trust. [...]
Number of Views :496I’ve been re-watching season one of Rome while out to sea. It’s a phenomenal show (not for kids) depicting life in ancient Rome, following the stories of Gaius Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, many other notable historical figures, as well as the lives of a centurion and legionnaire. By the end of season [...]
Number of Views :506It’s a common problem: what happens when your actions counteract official canon for the setting your using? Your players kill Vader, wipe out a dragonmark house, or sink Waterdeep into the sea. As the comic above illustrates, your players may be confused by what’s real and what isn’t in the world. Who [...]
Number of Views :477It has been a while! I’ve been in and out of port over the last few weeks, and haven’t had the time to post. Working from 7am to midnight every day will wear on you. Anyway, I’ve been thinking recently about trouble that arises inevitably in every game I’ve ever played in: [...]
