Last night some friends came over and we played some games. First we played Are You The Traitor?, which was a lot of fun. The game is all about table-talk and trying to read people so that you can accuse someone before everyone else does. I recommend it if you’re looking for [...]

Ok, I’ve thought about this idea some more, and I’ve come up with the following.
Each character has a personal quest, some sort of long-term goal that he/she can work toward over the course of the campaign. It doesn’t have to take the whole campaign, but it should be long-term enough that it should last [...]

I just had a thought, and I felt I needed to get it down before it escaped from my head. I’m short on time, so this’ll be a quick post. In 4th Edition D&D, players are rewarded for completing encounters not only with XP and treasure, but also with action points. Action [...]

I’ve played a few video games lately that I thought were worth mentioning in one regard or another. Some of these games have been out for a while; I got them through Goozex, a game-trading website that gives you much better deals on your old games than Gamestop does.
Hitman: Blood Money: This is actually [...]

So I attended the D&D Canned Food Drive at Days of Knights in Newark, DE, and it was a blast. We played a super-abridged version of the Lovecraftian Last Breath of Ashenport adventure released on D&D Insider with five players. My friend Mike played a dragonborn fighter with an executioner’s axe, while I [...]

So, tomorrow I’m going to Newark, Delaware to play D&D for charity, and I’m super excited! Here’s how it works: you go to Days of Knights with some canned food during one of the available time slots. For every can you bring, you get to re-roll one die roll during the game. [...]

During the last D&D session, I used a few custom monsters that I put together with WotC’s Monster Builder. They worked out so well that I thought I’d post them here for your perusal and potential use.
Shadow Ghoul
This is really just a modification to the base ghoul in the Monster Manual; I wanted a [...]

Well, we wrapped up Keep on the Shadowfell last night. It went really well, I thought. It was a fun night, all of the PCs survived, and the villain escaped, which is basically a win-win for a DM.
You can see pictures from last night’s game, if you want to. Toward the end, [...]

So, at some point in the indeterminate future, I’ll be running a 4E D&D game for three guys who have never played a table-top role-playing game before. This was supposed to happen a few days ago, but scheduling issues got in the way, so now I need to try and re-schedule for some time [...]

I just ran my name through the Internet Anagram Server, and guess what one of the first few results was? Yep. Bargain Nerd. So there you go.
