Essentials and me…
This weekend I made my one D&D Essentials purchase, the Dungeon Tiles Master Set. I briefly considered buying the Rules Compendium, even had my FLGS pull a copy for me, but when I...

And finally, the Book Club!
Missed me yet? Anyone… Are those crickets I hear? Well I certainly missed all of you! Real life has kept me away from the blog for too long, and I figured what better...

The Role Playing Game Museum…
The idea of a museum dedicated to role playing games sounds intriguing. I had never even considered the idea until I found this website, The Museum of Role Playing Games. The idea, while...

What about Advanced Feats: Secrets of the Alchemist? A review…

Come blog at my table… A review of the Open Game Table Anthology volume 2!
As a relative newcomer to blogging (only since February) I can’t say I kept abreast of the blogosphere. Of course I read some blogs but it was not a conscious effort, but since...

Come to me my jungle friends!

What’s in a name?

Trying something new…
I’ve never been particularly handy. I’ll write, talk in public, and I can tell a pretty good yarn (or so I’ve been told), but I’m not great with cars or home repair. I’ll...

Food & Games
Don’t worry; this has NOTHING to do with all the electronic cooking games out there. This is about gamers and the food they eat when they game. Junk food and role-playing games are...

25 years later… 24 years later!

Electronic Tools for Gaming – The iPhone
I’ll admit it, I was a holdover. I didn’t make the switch to an iPhone until last winter. Before that I had an ancient Palm Treo that worked perfectly well for years. I...
