I’ve been reading Spirit of the Century recently in preparation for a freelance project that I’m about to start working on, and it’s giving me ideas. Specifically, I’ve been coming up with ways to incorporate some of the ideas and mechanics in Spirit into my regular D&D game. I’ll try to explain this [...]

Check it out. Pretty good special effects for a YouTube video.

I recently got Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS, and I like it. I feel that it’s a deeply flawed game, but I like it despite its flaws.
So that I might end on a high note, I’ll cover the bad stuff first. The single biggest gripe I have with the game is probably one [...]

Critical Hits is working on something that I’d really like to see happen, and would really like to be a part of. Go check it out.

The first session report of the new adventure (the first adventure for 4th Edition written entirely by me, and not adapted from a published adventure) is up. Also, there are some new NPCs and locations on the main page of the campaign wiki.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
