Like I mentioned in our just-released Episode 2, I’m not nearly as good as self-promotion or promotion as BJ is. :P A book I worked on actually came out the day we did our first podcast, but I felt a bit odd about bringing it up (so didn’t): Open Design’s Midgard Bestiary for Pathfinder, with […]
Cripes, it’s Christmas already. What’s going on? Well, here’s gift suggestions- maybe for your geek friends, maybe for you. Of course, I expect lots of folks around these parts are playing Skyrim or Star Wars: The Old Republic. I’m certainly doing the latter at the moment. The only problem looking at those as gifts is […]
Referring to D&D, of course… I suspect it’s close- within the next couple of years. Rich Baker has had a couple of interesting Rule of Three columns, where he (and other designers) reflect on different parts of 4th edition. Baker mentions that powers between different classes seem very similar, which has definitely been a complaint […]
Attended a game night this past weekend, and played some fun stuff. Five people playing, which limited our options a tiny bit, but still had plenty of games to try out. First game was Ricochet Robots, in which you slide robots around the board to get them to a certain point. They only stop when […]
An old friend from high school has written a comedic Web series about a superhero sidekick-in-training, “The Trainee.” Check it out. The Trainee Webseries
My wife and I were married on Halloween 8 years ago, and yes, we had a costume wedding. Every year since then we’ve had a themed low-key Halloween party where we often play games and provide chicfila and other food and drinkstuffs. She’s really great at both costumes and decorating, while I’m mostly along for […]
This week is Speak Out With Your Geek Out, which seems appropriate for this blog. ^_^ Take a stance against baiting nerd rage and stereotypes of geeks. Post about how much you love your geeky hobbies or vocation from Monday, September 12th, 2011 to Friday, September 16th on your blog, website, social media account or […]
I’d been running a Pathfinder game for one of my gaming circles, which I mentioned back in November 2010. We finished the first module in Paizo’s Serpent’s Skull Adventure Path a couple of months ago, and I think in general a good time was had by all- the players seemed to consider it a success. […]
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a nifty anime movie we saw earlier this year- Summer Wars. Q and I had the opportunity to see it at the ever-awesome Alamo Drafthouse (Ritz location, Austin), where we ran into tons of people we know. :P I really liked it, and Q absolutely LOVED it. […]
Following up on an earlier post, this one was originally going to be the second part of “Bugs in the OGL,” but I ended up finishing it first- about two months ago. =P I’m going to go ahead with it on the off-chance that I’ll be able to return to it with my second post […]
