The Gator Man + Thoughts.
Have you ever been to a carnival that has kiddie rides? One of the more popular rides for young kids is the mini-coaster. It consists of several cars, usually decorated to look like a dragon or an alligator. It rolls around on a metal track with gentle ups and downs-a placid, oval journey. It's many a kid's first thrill ride without the ( Read more... ) -
Aedan Felk: Journal Entry one.
And thus ends my first day outside of Pelitar's apprenticeship. Even though I'm simply staying at The Lady Luck, rather than the tower, it's liberating. The only thing itching at my consciousness now, is why Fuegan was released to travel alongside me. I mean, it's not as though Pelitar was in any way finished with his research. And, it's not as ( Read more... ) -
Character motivations
Today I finally got around to printing out I6 - Ravenloft, since its gained such a nice reputation to spawn a board game, and an entire campaign setting, and after reading part of it, I am just blown away. It is a deliciously gothic module with some really great descriptions throughout Castle Ravenloft, and it's surroundings, but what really got me ( Read more... ) -
More Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition ranting.
I ran yet another game of Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition today. It's just so addicting! I find it both a blessing and a curse to be so intrigued by so many modules both new and old, and by the amount of fantastic characters you can build mechanically. Of course the interesting combinations you can create narratively are limited only by your ( Read more... ) -
Skill Challenges suck
Last night was week three and four of D&D encounters, and quite frankly, I'm so happy that we were a week behind, and didn't simply play session three, because it was HORRENDOUS, and here's why ( Read more... ) -
D&D Rant 2.0 (Includes Ottyughs).
So, one thing that bugs me a lot about D&D 4e encounters is the lack of solo monsters. I like the way they've made the combat even more tactical then 3.x, but I find that I have to do a little tweaking to get monsters feeling the way I want them to. Ever since playing The Witcher, I've been a fan of monsters being tough as nails. I like the idea of ( Read more... ) -
Roleplaying, Bad Company II and the like.
The last few months have been interesting for my outside of uni hobbies, after losing my slot as medic for the Ju1cy Team Fortress II team I've had a period of limbo where I didn't find a focus particularly well. I tried various PC games, multiplayer and singleplayer, but nothing really fit too much. That is, until Bad Company II ( Read more... ) -
Oh noes! 2010 is approaching!
So, whether I get time or not, 2010 is something that is going to be upon us rather quickly. I'd hoped to do a post on various media that was badass this year, but I guess since I'm lazy, and kinda tired since I just got back from Sherlock Holmes with the Ju1cy crew (just putting it out there, was good, not great. <3 Robert Downey Jr. However.) I ( Read more... ) -
St. Louis. Also, Planescape
It was Sunday, and like the awesome Calvin and Hobbes collection, it was a lazy Sunday. I woke up at around 1 AM to find that the reason I had lasted that long in the world of my head, was because nothing was happening today. One of the first things I did was get to reading The Last Wish again. I just love how the cinematic for The Witcher was so ( Read more... )
