Several weeks ago, our Sunday game group playtested Belle of the Ball, a card game by Daniel Solis. Daniel has posted this update on changes in the game that resulted from the playtest (Oh! The power!!!). I think his changes are looking good, and I hope to playtest a stronger version of the game in [...]
Sorry not to have posted lately. I’ve been busy with various things and just haven’t gotten around to it.
One of the things I’ve been busy with is setting up for a guest GMing for Joe’s D&D campaign. Several years ago I was playing in a D&D game at Colin’s when it looked like he [...]
Well, since you asked… I had actually intended to post this yesterday, but I got distracted working on Igooorrr! and other things. So, what have I been up to recently? Let’s see…I guess the highlight of the weekend was having to replace the kitchen faucet. Again. We got a new [...]
So, it’s about time for another installment of Thing Every Two Weeks or So, but I haven’t written any new fiction, so I’ll have to cheat again. Not that I haven’t been busy writing, just not fiction. Anyway, here is a selection from a D&D 3.5 supplement Colin Fredericks was working on once. He actually [...]
So, I was thinking some more about the proposed revision to the Aid mechanic. The current mechanic is:
Whenever a Character makes a Check on an Ability that can be Aided, a reasonable number of cohorts with proficiency in the same Ability (or an Ability that may reasonably be useful) may aid him in his [...]
So, a recent post (Altering the Aid Mechanic) led us to wonder whether adding a die to both the check pool and the opposition pool would increase the chances of a Thrash or if they would stay the same.
I took some time out this morning to roll the bones and preliminary findings support my [...]
I have a best friend. And who doesn’t, really, best being relative. But my best friend Scott has been my best friend since I was fourteen or fifteen. We met when I was thirteen, I think, through our mutual friend Jeremy (from whom Scott eventually usurped best friend status. But that’s okay, because Jeremy had [...]
One thing you really start to notice after a long holiday is that you have too many RSS feeds on Google Reader. That’s gonna take a while to clear out.
Anyway, for me the new year apparently starts a week late, so Happy New Year!
Resolutions? Well, I have a few half-hearted ones, I suppose. [...]
Anybody every play a game called Diceland? I noticed it at Cheap Ass Games and it seems interesting, if a bit convoluted to grasp with a cursory rules glance.
Slaintè,

So, I made a comment a while back on how I should just make my own MMORPG. Well, now I can’t get the ideas for the game out of my head. Little details keep bubbling up when I’m thinking about other things. You know those little stream of consciousness connections where you go, “Oh, that [...]
