I have only played D&D once in the past 7 weeks, and so I often look for similar activities to sustain me through the drought (I’ve been watching Game of Thrones and playing Mass Effect). So it was good timing for me when I was contacted by a PR firm promoting the new D&D video [...]

[Your Advice] No Game? Problem.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged d&d, in-between, rants on August 11, 2010 | 4 Comments »
My group missed its game tonight, bringing down our average this summer to less than 1 game per 3 weeks. I would love to keep gaming week after week but real life keeps getting in the way. My younger self believed that we could keep the gang together by getting together for a game, movie, [...]

Why You Should Use a Torch
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 4e, d&d, ddi, fire, items, metgaming, torches on July 9, 2010 | 6 Comments »
A sunrod [DDI] is only 4gp, lasts 4 hours, lights up 20 squares, and most importantly comes with the Adventurer’s Kit. On the surface this seems like a better deal than a regular torch [DDI]: for 1sp, lasts 1 hour, and dim lights 5 squares. From this seemingly one-sided contest, I’m going to try to [...]
My DM was on the Tome Show

In the recent episode of The Tome Show, my DM (aka Sarah Darkmagic) built a skill challenge for us with the help of Mike from SlyFlourish. Here is her take on episode. I can’t vouch for the whole podcast as this is the first episode I listened to, but it was quite good so I’ve [...]
The party as an organization
Posted in Uncategorized on March 19, 2010 | 2 Comments »
In most of the campaigns I’ve played in, the PCs wind up forming a loosely-organized organization, regardless of how they come together. Sometimes the PCs are part of a broader organization like The Harpers or Knights of Solamnia, but generally they exist as their own company with a creative name like: 5 Adventurers for Hire, [...]
I finally figured out how to play my character

I won’t bore you with the details of my Teifling Psion character, but I did want to mention an issue I’m having role playing to his ability scores. In attempt to min/max the character, he wound up with a really high Intelligence and Charisma, average Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, and pretty low Wisdom. Sine super-human [...]
Getting Con’d

When I was a kid, I saw ads for GenCon in Dragon magazine and wished I could go. I never understood why my parents wouldn’t let me go by myself to Wisconsin for a convention. But now that I’m adult, I should, in theory be able to go a gaming convention. Unfortunately travel and vacation [...]

Before going on with the regularly scheduled post, I want to make you aware of DriveThruRPG’s amazing Gamer’s Helping Haiti offer. Donate $20 to Doctors Without Borders Haiti Earthquake Response and get over $1000 worth of indie press PDFs. While going through a little bit of an existential phone crisis, I thought about how much [...]
