I savor those delicious moments of ephiphany that occur when the PCs finally figure out what's really going on in the story. I would call most of what I do "misdirection" rather than "deception." Recently in my D&D game, the PCs had to find out who had altered the moon's course to produce a...

Thanks to our gracious hosts and to everyone who played in my Septentrionalis game. Your enthusiasm (and outrageous accents) made easy work for me. My favorite lines (more or less as they were spoken): GM: You find a large chest, sealed with wax, and stencilled with the word "POWDER." French...

It's a d20 System game. Bring a full spread of -hedrons for rolling damage. You'll be playing with pre-rolled 5th level PCs. See you Saturday,

If you're planning on playing in my Septentrionalis game, bring your 3.5e D&D PHB and your most outrageous accent -- French, Boston or otherwise. The character sheets are ready to go, and I'll have minis and scenics on hand. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about the...

If it's not too late to sign up, I'd like to run a Septentrionalis game. It's going to be coming out as a sourcebook from a certain d20 publisher next year, and you folks would get a sneek peek at the game. (For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a setting for fantasy roleplaying in...

How about: The Ritual Love-Death or The Immolated Kings (Both are chapter titles from a Joseph Campbell mythology book. I always thought they would make great metal band names).

Compared to the lyrics my students hear on a daily basis, the word "cheapass" seems tame. I don't make a big deal of it -- a few chuckles from them and we move on. The game design curriculum unit is just a fun way to teach the design process to children. I've enjoyed designing games since I...

I'm a middle school teacher too, and I run D&D games for my students. In my experience, it's actually easier to carry over an RPG from week to week than a board game. But, if you're looking for board games that can fit in a 90-minute block, how about Settlers of Catan and its various...
