November 19, 2009 by newbiedm

I have never posted gaming pics before, so tonight I snapped some pictures of our session. We were missing two players tonight, but that’s okay, you’re getting the most photogenic of the bunch, myself at the top of the list.

August 6, 2009 by newbiedm

I want to run an informal poll and maybe bring up an interesting topic of conversation. As I’ve pointed out before, it wasn’t until the release of 4th ed. that I decided to DM, although I have years of experience in prior editions of the game. 4th ed. was marketed as a simpler game to […]

It’s a flash based application that starts you off with a generic “empty” pose, and you go filling it with layers of clothing, eyes, hair, beards, […]
