Two posts in one day! The eschaton has been imanentized! I wanted to post a quick follow-up to the previous post about Obsidian Portal. No sooner had I posted my little paean to the wonders of their service than I got comments from two of the fine folks involved in … Continue reading
Everyone probably already knows about Obsidian Portal, right? I mean, I found out about it from reading Penny Arcade, and they have several orders of magnitude more readers than I do. So, I’m pretty sure I’m a little late to this particular barbecue, but I want to talk about it … Continue reading
Another session done this weekend. After the previous session, my players decided to abandon their original plans, and try to figure out the connection between the halfling gangsters and the goblins outside of town. They started by interrogating the prisoners they had taken last session, which I did as a … Continue reading
First off, let me start by saying a couple of things. I love 4th Edition D&D. I love 3rd Edition D&D, including 3.5. There. Now you know where I’m starting from. I’ve seen some comments on forums and such about how 4th Edition D&D is not D&D. People point to … Continue reading

These are little things that started either as passing comments or jokes, and evolved firstly into in-jokes, and later into phrases that … Continue reading
I just finished Duma Key, by Stephen King. I’ve been wanting to write about it for a while, now, but forced myself to wait until I had finished the book; sometimes these things take a sharp turn south before the end, and I find my opinion of them changing. But … Continue reading
So, I’ve been running the Scales of War adventure path for a group of players. I’ve talked about it here. I’ve decided to give up on it, though. Why? Because I’m bored with it. Not with the game – I like playing with these people, and it’s always a fun … Continue reading
