I’ve been getting into listening to podcasts more and more lately, especially as my gaming addiction is taking hold more and more firmly. It’s gotten to the point where iCorwin, my pretty little 30GB iPod, actually filled up from the huge number of podcast files I’ve been putting on there and neglecting to remove […]

This past Saturday, following up on the resounding success of her first gaming session, Brianna and I joined Chad, Lizzi, and Chad’s nephews for another one. While the first session was the one-off adventure included in the D&D Basic Game, complete with pre-made characters, this time we were going to all roll up new […]

Wow. Just wow. Tonight’s episode started as a bit of a slow burn, continuing right where last week left off. But most of the threads we’ve been following quickly picked up a lot of momentum. Some were conspicuous with their absence, others are building up to something I think will be […]

I haven’t been following my RSS feeds lately, primarily because I’ve been spending a lot of time concentrating on gaming podcasts. So I missed Wil Wheaton’s posting about his latest Geek in Review article until Jessika emailed it to me. In it, he lays out all the reasons we need to support our […]

It’s happened to all of us who have been the game master at one time or another. In creating the session’s adventure, it is utterly impossible to predict which way the players will jump in a given situation. No matter how well you know the players and their characters, and how well they […]

The WarCry Network recently released details of City of Heroes Issue # 9: “Breakthrough”. The summary follows:
Breakthrough, the ninth free expansion to the City of Heroes™ universe, introduces an entirely new level of depth and gameplay to the franchise. Players acquire and invent new “loot,” and have the option to buy and sell it […]

One of the things I really wanted to do when I got my Xbox 360 was to play games on it with my daughter. In moderation, video games can be good for kids, they learn cooperation and gain excellent hand-eye coordination. I bought Viva Pinata for her to play when I got […]

My Dear Brother William,
As I’m sure you recall, we talked many times about whether I should one day take a journey to visit the Elven city of Alalia. You always felt it might do me some good to spend some time there and learn of their culture. I can finally report that I […]
