Hi all! I don’t know how many people are still following me, but if you are, you’re awesome! I’ve been on a gaming hiatus, which turns out it meant that I was on a blogging hiatus as well. Fortunately I finally got some D&D on after a four month break. This past weekend I got [...]

Hi All. Sorry for the long lapse between posts. I honestly thought I could keep up my schedule indefinitely. I’ve been super busy and traveling. I hope to get one post a week out now through Halloween and then back to twice a week starting in November, as well as regular contributions at rpgmusings.com. It [...]
DM’ing in Athas

Today’s Penny Arcade reminded me that I wanted to write about my experience DMing the Dark Sun preview at PAX East. This has also been on my mind lately because I’m gearing up to run a homebrew one-shot tomorrow. I don’t remember the exact sequence of events that got me in to the DM’s chair, [...]
Soap comes in all shapes and sizes

I know it’s weird to write about soap, but bear with me here. Awhile ago I saw this review for d20 soap! (There’s also Han Solo in carbonite soap). I’m not going to buy this product, and I certainly don’t want it as a present but I’m glad that it exists. This means that our [...]
Dark Sun Preview Review

At the request of commenter “The Hockey Czar”, I’m going to review the Dark Sun adventure I played in last weekend. I also had the chance to DM this adventure as well, and I’m going to have a separate post on that experience as it was my first 4e game on the other side of [...]

Wow… I’m starting to finally recover from nearly 4 straight days of gaming. I have to say that PAX East was awesome. I got to play a ton of board games, video games and of course Dungeons and Dragons. I also had a lot of access to Wizards of the Coast folk to ask questions [...]
PHB 3 Review

I picked up the Player’s Handbook 3 at the game store when I was there for World Wide Game Day this past weekend. Normally I’d be on the fence about such a purchase (c’mon PHB….3, srlsy guys). But, since I have been playing a Psion since they released it in Dragon magazine, I know I’ll [...]
Worldwide D&D game day

This past weekend I participated in my first official, organized D&D event: Player’s Handbook 3 Worldwide D&D Game Day. The adventure started with our choice of 5 out of 6 pregenerated characters based on PHB 3 races and classes. The dungeon contained two levels with 5 combat and one 1 skill challenge encounters, based on [...]
i4e review

I’ve been meaning to post this review for awhile. At the end of last year I blogged about playing without my character sheet. In the comments, DM Ron suggested I check out a iPhone/iPod Touch program called i4e. It can be replacement for a paper character sheet, but I find it I an accompaniment. The [...]
What does the Apple Tablet mean for d&d?

Today’s mass excitement gave us the iPad… Apple’s bigger than a iPod, smaller than a MacBook multi-touch internet device. I’m sure millions of nerds worldwide spun their brains about how this device will work for their game books. I don’t like carrying around a ton of books, and I would be quite happy with an [...]
