Number of Views :308 So, I’ve found that when I DM, I tend to roll really poorly. Now, I’m not the type of DM who is in competition with players, so this doesn’t bother me. However, it’s a bit disconcerting when more than three-quarters of the time, I”m simply rolling under 5. When you’ve got [...]
Number of Views :733 Ah, 4th Edition. I love what 4th Edition has done with the place. New system, new rules, new joys, and new frustrations. However, there is such a thing as fixing what is not broken. And as many would suggest, something you shouldn’t do. Starting wealth in 3.5 was very simple. Read [...]
Number of Views :342 In our upcoming Forgotten Realms game I’ll be DMing, I’m also going to be playing a PC. Also known as a DMPC, the debate has sprung up for years on the forums of both wizards.com and enworld.org: Should a DM also play a PC? The question is raised because in a [...]
Number of Views :421 When at last we left our villain Cicero, he and his party managed to escape the fabled planet of Iago, and pick a fight with a Hutt on Nar’Shaddaa. As of this moment they are traveling to an old Sith planet, long since dead, now only filled with creatures, and spirits [...]

Number of Views :213Good question huh? After reading a few different blogs here and there over the past week or so I decided to combine some of what I’ve been reading; infused with my own opinion, of course! Role-playing for different people really does mean very differing things. To some role-playing is all about [...]
Number of Views :260You know, I have no beef with World Of Warcraft, Guild Wars, or any of these MMOs, but I swear if I have to deal with one more player bringing MMO-style play to my game table, I’ll kick them out faster than they can say “D20″. The roleplaying facet of games is [...]
Number of Views :216 A few times in my RPing career I have been afforded the opportunity to play against the party’s true intentions. For example, I was part of a Star Wars campaign. I played a young Jedi as everyone else in my party had, but my DM and I had worked out (prior [...]
Number of Views :347 If you go back and look at the first blog ever, you’ll notice that I have a lot of games on my shelf. What I’d like to do is let my audience choose what game they’d like to hear about. I’ll present my list below, and everyone can vote by [...]
Number of Views :163 Reading the latest Roleplaying Tips Weekly (Issue 424, which as of the moment I’m writing is not posted up online, but should be soon) talks about “Skinning Game Systems”. It’s a fantastic article, in which Hannah L. talks about rewriting the fluff of your RPG. Basically, the idea behind it is that [...]
