    [TPK GAMES] The Bleeding Hollow Mega-Adventure (Kickstarter)

    Lemme preface this by saying for the record that I'm not affiliated with TPK in any way. That said, this thing looks like it's gonna be Epick with a capital Kill. I gave up my Kickstarter cherry on this project (insert inappropriate joke here), and I can't wait to see the finished product. TPK...

    Owl Hoot Trail: spaghetti western + fantasy = awesome. Come playtest!

    PirateCat, I would LOVE to participate in that playtest. And I've got a fantastic bunch of guys who'd have a blast ripping the game apart with me! (There's a reason the members of this gaming group refers to themselves as 'The Wrecking Crew'.)

    Words are hard!

    If I hear someone pronounce "lich" as "lick" (rhymes with "brick"), I need only point out the laughable ridiculousness that would result from reading this title aloud: Wrath of the Lich King. That is all.

    Knights of Badassdom

    Dude. I cannot WAIT to see this film. All the better if it shows up on the big screen, but I'm totally good with seeing it in the comfort of my own living room. Sure, this thing's gonna be cheesy as hell, but so what?? So was Gamers (and its sequel), and I loved every minute of it. The big-name...

    Accents at the table?

    I love doing accents and/or changing my voice tone when GMing. In fact I highly recommend it, especially when you want your NPCs to stand out memorably. I've had a lot of success by assigning celebrities or movie/TV characters to my NPCs. Examples: Peter Venkman Charlie Sheen Beetlejuice...

    Any other roll wouldn't have worked

    If the knight doesn't already have one, it sounds like he should definitely have a Stork for his crest. (Warning: Naughty words shall be heard if you click on the "Play Sample" button behind the link. Funny, but naughty. Be advised.)

    latest gaming purchase ?

    Last night I won a couple of eBay bids. From Dave Arneson's personal collection, I'm now the proud owner of Fuzzy Heroes and Tale of the Comet. I am a happy camper.

    Podcasts for DM's

    I've listened to a handful of gaming podcasts and found most to be rather dry and un-entertaining. That said, there is one I listen to regularly because it's most definitely NOT dry. Happy Jack's RPG Podcast is - hands down - the most enjoyable podcast I've found. They (especially the main host...

    OGRE Designer's Edition on Kickstarter

    (Opening caveat: I do not work for Steve Jackson Games. I just think this is awesome.) I know that these forums are crawling with dedicated fans of RPG's, but if you have any inclinations towards old school board/war games, Steve Jackson is redoing his first game, OGRE, in a huge way. And by...

    D&D is NOT fireball casting characters fighting kobolds

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Dragon Mountain kobolds were kinfolk to those little Murder Tuckers...

    D&D is NOT fireball casting characters fighting kobolds

    I never actually ran it, but I do seem to recall a 2E module where smartly-run kobolds could make life utterly miserable for 15th-level PCs. Y'all don't remember Dragon Mountain? ;)

    The Avengers (SPOILERS BEWARE0

    We watched it today. I gotta agree - I'm pretty sure I now have a new absolute-favorite superhero flick. The audience laughed so long and loud when Hulk pulverized Loki (it was like a friggin' Loony Tunes cartoon!) that we completely missed the "puny god" line. And when the first mega-alien...

    The Quest for Kurrigan's Gold - a puzzle to whet your appetites

    Bravo, to the both of you! And a 'well done' to all who partook in the puzzle-solving discussion. I dreamed up that puzzle a few years back, as the hook for an adventure that (after it was over) my players said was the best I'd ever run. I'm dusting off this gem and making a few adjustments...

    Creating PC's with Personality

    Excellent! One of my players (the one who is infamous for really just playing himself, regardless of PC class, race or alignment) has really upped the stakes though. I allow them to play anything from the PF Core Rulebook; the only limitation I've always had was that nobody plays an evil-aligned...

    Creating PC's with Personality

    I'm about to kick off a new campaign. I informed my hack 'n slash players that anyone who gives me a backstory that includes - at a minimum - a list of five people who are important to their PC (and why), I'll give them a bonus. Friends, family, mentors, rivals, or enemies are fair game...

    The Quest for Kurrigan's Gold - a puzzle to whet your appetites

    Glad to hear somebody's taking a crack at it. :) The letters are all supposed to be black. Coloration has nothing to do with it. Aside from that, at this time I really can't give any hints about how to break the code...

    The Quest for Kurrigan's Gold - a puzzle to whet your appetites

    The old sea captain has called you to his parlor. He hands you an old scroll and asks you to do what he could not. Solve the code. Use the secrets hidden within to find the legendary treasure of Kurrigan the Blackheart, pirate scourge of the Torn Coast, who vanished from the Sea of Storms aboard...
