Our gaming group explores hard-core RP
Well, I knew tonight could easily get messy. Last game session, my relentlessly thorough and clever players (eyebeams, kearsley, iskorpit, kuretzu, katmo, and Doug) happily kidnapped a pair of orcs that were part of the orcish clan that was laying siege to a town in my D&D setting. They needed more information before they decided if they'd flee the scene or do something rash like ( Read more... ) -
Revisions
Well, the intro to the PHB2 changed some of my mythology and I've been toying with the regional descriptions of my D&D world, so if you're interested, check out my revised versions of both the mythology and regional decriptions.
Also, here are more ( regional descriptions ) -
Overall damage in D&D 4E
Okay, so I've broken things down into at-will powers, encounter powers and daily powers and the classes balanced somewhat ( Read more... ) -
More analysis of D&D 4E (encounter & dailies)

Classes and D&D 4E (my analysis)
So, I've heard a lot of people weigh in on whether or not there is power creep in 4E D&D. That, for the uninitiated, is the tendency of gaming companies to lure people to buy new books by promising that the new classes/races/everything will be suitably more kick ass than the original classes or races ( Read more... ) -
Mythology and my lame-ass attempt at it
After reading the truly epic and interesting background of nottheterritory's D&D 4E world, I realized that I really needed to expand on the background of my D&D campaign. I'd paid more attention to migration, politics and the fall of empires in my setting and hadn't really touched on the religious mythology that I think is important to make players believe in ( Read more... ) -
Geekery continued
Well, I've been running a 4E D&D game for a few months now. Normally when I run a game I end up making up a bunch of rules and restrictions that I impose on my players so that they can make characters that properly fit into a custom game-world of my own design. This time I decided that I wouldn't do that. In fact, almost everything that is canon ( Read more... ) -
Time keeping
Okay, this is how bad a geek I am. I have a ton of things written up for the game world that I'm running my players through on Sundays, but this was the worst indication that I have too much time on my hands. To be fair, I thought of this system well before I started this game. That's how sad I am :)
