Turn out the lights, draw the curtains, put the weasels back in storage
We played some D&D yesterday, and I thought I might come post about it here.
And then I realised that I hadn't posted to LJ in three months, and that the only things I've been talking about this year is either roleplaying or my writing. Which I can - and do - talk about in other places. I thought there'd be value in having a personal journal space ( Read more... ) -
Exile Empire - Calm Before the Storm
Three weeks after the last session, we got back together for a new session of our 4th ed D&D game. Seriously, that's almost exactly like a regular timetable! It can't last, I know, but we took advantage of the alignment of the stars to reshuffle the plot hooks, work out some plans and foreshadow like a motherfucker.
Come, join us behind the cut.

Exile Empire - Beware the Claw!
April is generally the cruellest month, and by that I mean it's the time when Comedy Festival not only eats away at my spare time but completely eliminates that of some of my friends - friends and fellow roleplayers to boot.
All of which means that April isn't a month for gaming round these parts, at least not until the very end. Which, of course, ( Read more... ) -
Now on sale - The Obituarist
Hi folks,
I know I've been silent for a few weeks, but I have a good reason - I've been writing my tail off getting something new ready.
And here it is! I’m pleased beyond all measure to announce that my new e-novella, The Obituarist, is not only finished but published and available to purchase!

New Zealand, as reviewed by artbroken age 41 and a couple of weeks
Just got back yesterday from a 5-day business trip to New Zealand.
My thoughts on the nation are as follows.
PROS- It's just ridiculously beautiful
- Good food
- Monteith's Winter Ale
- Wellington
- Winding mountain roads with sheer drops and breathtaking views

Tribulation - Carnivale (part 2)
And we finish the February Month of Gaming (slightly late, as I've been at a conference in Geelong) by talking about our Weird West game Tribulation, which we actually played about two weeks ago. One of the good things about this game is that barrington and fengshuiguytake notes so that I don't have to, but then I need to edit them down to a more compact size - and to ( Read more... ) -
Exile Empire - The Siege of Zantashk III
February has shaped up as Gaming Month here at Casa del Artbroken, almost to the point where it's exhausting.
Ah, who am I kidding, I love it.
There was a long-delayed session of Tribulation earlier in the month (and I'll post a write-up soon for everyone that's been gagging to see what's happening there), a session of Hero's Banner with mousebane that we ( Read more... ) -
Exile Empire - The Siege of Zantashk II
Oh wait, I know what I can write about on LiveJournal: roleplaying!
Once again there's been a three-month gap between sessions of our D&D campaign, during which times players went overseas and came back and I got married. And yet, in the game, perhaps only five minutes passed by. There's something metatextually interesting in that, but let's gloss ( Read more... ) -
I have met the grognard and he is me
Anyone interested in roleplaying games (and anyone not interested in RPGs probably should find a better LJ to follow, to be honest) would have heard the news last week that, roughly three years after releasing the 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons, Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro is gearing up to release a new edition in the next 12-18 months, ( Read more... )
