So, over a year ago ( about the last time I posted here, *zing* ) I saw a really neat item on io9: a concept art writing prompt. They’d post up a weird image, and basically challenge their readers to expand on the idea – create a short story or something along those lines. The… Continue reading We’re Going To Need A Bigger Boat

Spineless Bastard
So Blacktooth, my little 2’10″/32lb 10th level Murder Goblin™ in my main D&D (ok, ok, fine, Pathfinder. Whatever.) game isn’t super combat-oriented. He’s the thief, so his base Stealth is a 32 and his base Disable Device is a 25 (extra mod?). Yeah. But, he does have a pretty good initiative bonus (+12) and a… Continue reading Spineless Bastard
Maz “Sarge” Babineaux
At the time that Paul started up his Shadowrun game using Numenera‘s Cypher System, I knew I wanted to play, but didn’t think I had the time. Well, that changed. Paul had done an excellent job updating the world-building that had been previously done w/ Shadowrun – a neat cyberpunk setting where magic and tech… Continue reading Maz “Sarge” Babineaux
Thursday is the new Black
Apparently, Thursday is now the Cool Kid™ of the week these days. Currently I run a game of GammaWorld – a fun and ridiculous role playing game I’d quickly describe as sort of Mad Max meets Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – on alternating Thursdays. And once we wrap up this campaign – Famine in… Continue reading Thursday is the new Black
We Be Goblins (Too)!
This past Saturday was Free RPG Day and I headed over to +1 Gaming, my Friendly Local Gaming Store, to pick up some free shit and to buy some new dice for a friend in one of my games. I made sure that I’d be there soon after opening to get a module by Paizo… Continue reading We Be Goblins (Too)!
The Old Man and the River
My friend Matthew (Skip) is running a game of Call of Cthulhu for a bunch of us nerds. It takes place here in New Orleans, in 1928-1929 (Sourcebook). Besides the obvious Cthulhu awesomeness (yaaaaay H.P. Lovecraft!), I thought the setting would provide for really good roleplaying and collaborative storytelling. We weren’t being dropped into some… Continue reading The Old Man and the River
Bananaversary!
Right about this time 2 years ago, I did a very smart thing. Bea and I are currently celebrating in our own unique ways. This post has been pre-written and set up to auto-post at this time, as I am currently hosting a D&D game at my house, and Bea is at roller-derby practice as… Continue reading Bananaversary!
Creepin’ up to the highschool like a chester…
My friend Neil (@ntraft) currently has his instant messenger status as: “Dude, this van is like rolling probable cause.” I sent that along to the other bearded computer/bicycle/D&D nerd Will™* who actually has what would easily pass for a child molester van, and his response was equally good: “ha maybe one day i’ll paint it… Continue reading Creepin’ up to the highschool like a chester…
+1 Pencil of Writing
“I don’t go to Metairie unless I really have to.” Ballzack, Rainbow in Marrero This Saturday, while doing my once-every-couple-of-months run to Metairie, I passed by the newly-opened +1 Gaming and decided to pop my head in. They’ve recently opened, so stock is a little on the low side I think. It seems to cater… Continue reading +1 Pencil of Writing
Goblins? In my Necropolis? It’s more likely than you think.
Today was every other Tuesday, so you know what that means: D&D! We we on a skeleton krewe today – just Paul as the DM, Chris/Grak, Allen/Marduk, and me/Oran. We had to supplement our group with Clarence, our NPC (Non-Playable Character) friend. Despite missing two of our company, we decided to do a dungeon crawl… Continue reading Goblins? In my Necropolis? It’s more likely than you think.
