I 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 know. Now that [...]

So far, so good has been my motto. My husband and I have been gaming partners for going on 3 years with no incidents. He’s often the DM or GM and I never feel singled out, either for positive rewards or harsh punishments. I have always felt like one of the group and our groups [...]

Reviews & Culture
Yesterday afternoon, my Amazon.com order came in. I’m a few books behind in the WotC release of books, so I ordered the Player’s Handbook Races: Dragonborn supplement, as well as Underdark. I’ve only cursorily glanced over them, but here’s my initial thoughts. Dragonborn is a pretty solid book, with some great flavor material. Unfortunatley, most [...]

Last night’s game was phenomenal. Normally the group gets together at around 6 to get the talkies out of their system before we begin playing at 7 or 7:30. Last night, however, the group had to get together at 7, due to me and Bridget not being around until then. Then Bri threw her lasagna [...]

Hello my dear readers. It feels like it’s been awhile since I have written last. I was in a groove and then I was apparently out. With all of our hiatuses I have felt a little out of the writing loop. But with the games back in session so is my muse. Recently, I have [...]
Holy crap. Skill challenges. I encountered my first one in our last 4th Edition game session, and I wish I would’ve brought a change of underpants. The system is absolutely awesome, one of the most welcome rules-additions in my opinion. I play dwarven twins in game, a male dwarf paladin, and a female dwarf cleric. [...]

Last night I decided that it was about time for my Eladrin Wizard to get her butt back into gear. She is supposed to be this incredibly cold wizard, highly skilled and has special skills in thievery… As you can guess she now has herself back in gear. We are close to completing Thunderspire Labyrinth. [...]

Hey guys and dolls, it’s your old pal Patrick. So I have my own two cents to add to this topic of discussion and I’m going to use my own group(s) as examples. Everyone has specific roles they enjoy playing. It’s true. I tend to play an extremely headstrong bruiser. Strong enough that if I [...]

So, at some point in the future, after completing Thunderspire Labyrinth, I’m going to be running a Forgotten Realms campaign. Now, I’ve never read any of the Forgotten Realms books, and though I owned the 3.5 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Player’s Guide to Faerun, and the Shining South sourcebook, I had only ever played one [...]

Movies
So, I’ve been thinking a bit about the various Disney movies we all grew up on, and I realized that the plot of Aladdin lends itself perfectly to a sweeping RPG adventure.
