Number of Views :417I’ve got some RPG purchases I’ve made in the last few days, ones I’d be most likely making at GenCon, were I going. On Friday, we’ll be once again exploring the disappearance of the Godfell Stone, and I need to be prepped! The catacombs beneath Skytop Monastery are dangerous. So here’s what [...]
Number of Views :1905My new campaign is going to spend quite a bit of time around the Nentir Vale, so I decided to see how long it would take to get from place to place. Here I have all of the major landmarks of the Nentir Vale. The calculation used for travel times is this: [...]
Number of Views :588And I’m back! There’s been a lot of complaining on the interwebs about DC rebooting their entire universe. Basically, after the big summer comic event at DC, they’ll be renumbering all of the comics and restarting the universe. Rumor has it, Superman and Wonder Woman will be dating, lots of characters are [...]
Number of Views :694This is the list I provided my new players on what they could play, as far as races and classes go. As far as any of them know, that’s all there is. I did it so as to give them enough variety that they’d be able to find something they liked, but [...]

I’ve now got three people at work (plus one of the guy’s cousins) interested in playing with Bridget and I. After I get back from Paternity Leave, we’ll begin. One has already [...]

Number of Views :562According to Google Dictionary, a trope is “A conventional idea or phrase.” In other words, it’s something seen throughout literature, movies and games that is kind of a grand-scale meme. They’re the plots you see frequently make an appearance in sci-fi, such as “A.I. Is a Crapshoot” and “Aliens Speaking English“. It’s [...]
Number of Views :1137In case you haven’t seen it yet, this video has been making the rounds: I haven’t seen it mentioned on too many blogs, but I want to talk about it here. What’s good, what’s bad, etc. First of all, from the perspective of someone who’s not a gamer, I think this hits [...]
