Getting back on the 4e horse
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 […]
NewbieDM Review: Neverwinter Campaign Setting
I’ll start this review by telling you that I’ve never been a huge Forgotten Realms guy, although I love the older Forgotten Realms products. I’ve owned the boxed sets, source books and a few novels from the 2e era of the Realms. I even own the 3e forgotten Realms book, even though I played very […]
Poaching Encounters
The Dark Legacy of Evard season is finally over. After running a table this season, I also ran a table for the World Wide Game Day event for the Neverwinter Campaign Setting at my local store. I had a lot of fun and I’m stepping down as a DM this season while looking forward to […]
Gencon 2011 Wrap-Up
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. […]

rpgKids at Gencon
My ADD sometimes gets the best of me, and this is one of those times… You’d think a guy with a role-playing game for sale would want to do anything possible to promote it at the largest gaming convention… Geez. Anyway, I’d like to see if there’s interest in me running rpgKids at Gencon. If […]

My Gencon Schedule
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 […]

3 Years Behind the Screen
Last month marked my third anniversary as a full time DM, and I still enjoy it so much that I haven’t passed the baton to someone else. It’s actually pretty incredible that I’ve been able to do it for so long without losing much interest (and the same goes for running this blog), as I […]

NewbieDM Review: A Whole Bunch of Stuff….
I haven’t reviewed stuff in a while, and recently I was offered the chance to review some stuff from Open Design and Engine Publishers so I wanted to share my thoughts with you. As a disclaimer, these PDF’s were offered to me in exchange for a review. Also, upfront I’ll tell you that I enjoyed […]

The Easiest Combat Map You’ll Never Make
Like a kid playing with Legos, I derive a childish glee from clearing off my coffee table and laying out dungeon tiles. I also have vinyl grids and wet-erase pens. When tiles can’t help me, carefully drawing vinyl maps is a close second in the glee department. I’m a busy DM though, I don’t always […]
On August 1st, buy something at a bookstore
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 […]
