Number of Views :587 For Christmas, besides getting the Pathfinder Beginner Box (which will get a full review soon, trust me), I recieved the D&D Comic Book: Shadowplague. This hardcover book, which is conveniently the same size as a D&D rulebook (unlike most hardcover comics) features issues 0-6 of the D&D comic. By issue 0, I’m [...]
Number of Views :509Almost two weeks ago, I got my DragonChow dice bag in the mail. Along with it came some dice. Now, I did not ask for these dice. It took about a week and a half for her to make and ship the bag, since she had a big backlog, so, unprompted, she [...]

To quote Quinn: “Imagine a monster of such power and presence that, for a short period of time, it drastically alters the world around it. A monster [...]

Number of Views :1563I have been lucky enough to get on the Virtual Table Beta a couple of weeks ago and I have had the opportunity to play in a few games both as a player and a DM. I do like it overall since it gives a chance for players/DMs to get together to [...]
Number of Views :602I’m finally caught up: All eight episodes so far of the Reckless Dice podcast. It’s the only podcast out there (as far as I’m aware) that exclusively covers Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3e. The hosts are very knowledgeable about the subjects, have great banter, and none of them sounds like an old grognard. [...]

Number of Views :816A bit different than my usual posts, but something that should interest most of the readers. On Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend a sneak preview of Thor. The film can be summed up in one word: Wow. Going in to the movie, I didn’t know what to expect. I’m usually [...]

Number of Views :584Games Plus was having their semi-annual auction, so I dropped off some old stuff I’ll never use again (some board games and OGL books). Two weeks later, I had 110 bucks of in-store credit! Hooray! Most of the stuff I picked up was for modeling and storage of my 40k army, but one thing I [...]
