I recently had the opportunity to talk to distinguished fantasy author R.A. Salvatore about his latest novel, “Neverwinter”, one part of the suite of Neverwinter-themed products that WOTC is rolling out this year. Mr. Salvatore has sold over 15 million books in the US, has more than four dozen books to his credit, 23 New York Times […]
Wow. What a crazy week. So CNN.com featured me on their Geekout blog talking up kids and role playing games. Pretty cool for all of us rpg bloggers out there, they are noticing us and paying attention to what we have to say. I have to say that being featured on CNN ranks up pretty […]

Just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who’s visited the site these past three years, it has been a blast! Honestly, it has been a great ride and besides helping out tons of you in your DMing, the site’s been nominated for Ennies, recently passed 800,000 page views, and gave me the platform […]
Continuing my series on classic boxed sets, we’ve arrived at my favorite (in my collection), the Forgotten Realms box for 2nd Ed. AD&D. Now, it’s important to keep in mind that this is not the old grey box released in 1987 for 1st Ed. AD&D, but rather an updated version for the 2nd edition of the game. If […]
This week I got back to Dm’ing 4e. No, I haven’t dropped Dragon Age, in fact that’s going quite well, but rather I added a game to my schedule. I’m running this game online, and I made it Essentials only, so it’s an experiment of sorts. One, I wanted to see what Essentials brought to […]
So Gencon 2011 has come and gone, and I have to say that I had a fantastic time! I ran 3 games (Dragon Age, and rpgKids), played some Drunken D&D, 4e D&D (which I miss playing) and a late night game of Fiasco. I also met up with some great friends both old and new. […]
I’ll be attending my third Gencon this year, and unlike previous years, I’ll be attending solo… If you want to hook up while I’m there, the easiest way to reach me will be through my twitter account, but I’ll be checking email throughout the weekend as well. I found out that as far as today […]
I grew up around books. Shelves and shelves of them. My dad is an avid reader, so is my brother. I have to admit that as a kid, I read a lot less than them, but books were always a part of the scenery. My wife has a masters degree in reading education, and when […]
I’m writing this post out of frustration. Bear with me, as it’s meant for people new to D&D. Okay… If you are completely new to D&D, and don’t know where to even start, then this post is for you! The genesis for this post stems from a recent visit to my local big box book […]
