I went out for a marathon gaming session last night, and managed to play four games, two of which I’d played before. In the order that I played them:
Settlers of Catan was the first game I played, and it was the second time I had played it. It was fun. I like [...]

Okay, so Wizards of the Coast has created a D&D Facebook app. It seems interesting, if a little buggy and slow. If you’re signed up on Facebook, you might want to go check it out. If you’re not, maybe this will get you to sign up.

Followup: Michael Goldfarb apologized for his remarks today. While the apology does not immediately strike me as being all that sincere, I’ve decided that, since intent and tone is hard to read on the Internet, I’ll take it at face value and accept the apology. Hopefully this is the last time I’ll feel [...]

. . . they remind me that they can still be fun.

I try to keep politics out of this blog, because honestly it has no place here. But they threw the first stone. From John McCain’s website:

Yesterday, I ran a solo session for the one player who wasn’t able to make it to the first session. Now he’s got comparable experience to the others, and he’s actually in Winterhaven, which makes things easier. Anway:
Session Two: The Road to Winterhaven

As a long-time DM, I’m always on the lookout for tools and such that make my job a little bit easier. Since I really haven’t shared all this stuff with you guys yet, I figured I would. Most of this stuff is relatively inexpensive, if not downright free. Some of it is [...]

Ok, I’ve got some stuff in the works, not for the next full session, but for a couple of side-sessions, if you will. First of all, I’m going to run my friend Mike (playing Shava) through a little solo adventure, since he missed the first session (and thus, his character was not present). [...]

Last night I had my first 4th Edition D&D game, and I’m still jazzed from it. It was fantastic. I did a lot of initial prep work before the game, probably more than I needed to because most of it hasn’t been used yet. The players approached the initial set of encounters [...]
