Sharing a DDI subscription

October 20, 2008

I am contemplating asking my players to cough up and split the bill on a DDI subscription. Between the 9 of us, it shouldn’t be too much. I am concerened about the technical aspects of it though. Can one account name log in twice? What if they catch two of the same account names trying […]

Keep on the Shadowfell fun

October 20, 2008

I’ve been running the Keep on the Shadowfell for my group and we’ve all been having a blast. 4th Ed. makes it so easy to adjust encounters, that I’ve had no problem adapting the encounters for a 7-man party. Also, using my custom made Dungeon Tiles on the table, has really helped the game move faster. […]

Favorite characters you’ve played…

October 14, 2008

The only thing I don’t like about DMíng is the fact that I am not playing a character anymore. I’ve always loved playing my Dwarf: Barundar, Son of Dorn. There’s been so many versions of him through the years that it’s been hard to not include him in the campaign I’m running. I didn’t because […]

Great article at Wizards’ that I missed

October 6, 2008

This is an article that Wizards posted in August, about a panel that they ran at Gencon. it deals with the 4th edition philosophy, why things are, what’s coming up, etc… I found it really interesting, especially because it completely validated one of my paragon tier ideas for my campaign world… http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20080815 There it is.

Sunday morning playin’…

October 5, 2008

I had a lot of run running the party through the inside of the Keep on the Shadowfell… we did the graveyard encounter, the zombie room, and the skill challenge with Sir Keenan. There were 7 party members, which meant I had to scale the encounters, but 4th ed. makes it a breeze. It’s running […]

Dungeon Tiles on the cheap

October 3, 2008

So I’ve picked up some of these Dungeon Tiles that Wizards puts out. They look great, but not nearly enough come in a pack IMHO. Also, I consider that once I buy the Dungeon TIle, they are mine to do as I please with, like a movie or a CD, or a book. Here’s how […]

Where do you find time to play?

September 16, 2008

I was going to go play a game of mini’s with my brother, but the kids needed to be put to bed, laundry put away, so on and so on… How do you find time to play?

Using Minis

September 14, 2008

There is a post over at ENWorld that says WOTC will begin selling non-random mini’s. Great. Long time coming Wizards. That’s the reason I made my tokens.

Why we play

September 12, 2008

So I’ve been thinking about RPG’s, and what keeps drawing me back to them, and I think it has got something to do with me always being interested in acting and writing. It is a hell of a creative outlet, whether you are in front of the screen or behind it. I’ve been playing the same character […]

So I’ve decided to start blogging…

September 10, 2008

Why not. I’ve started Dm’ing, so why not start a blog about it. It’s my first time playing on the other side of the screen so to speak. Except for a short stint as a SW d6 DM (great game, one that D20 owes a lot to IMHO), this is my first serious attempt at […]
