So you’ve been hearing about this D&D thing for some time now, and particularly how this “4e” thing is supposed to be more newbie/video-gamer friendly.  But you just can’t justify shelling out more than US$100  just to see if something you already find iffy is actually a gem.  Fortunately Wizards of the Coast (WotC) is [...]

Voltron: Defender Against Monsterpocalypse!

Think about this…

You are in the far, undisclosed, future.  Far enough that there already exists a “Galactic Alliance” between Earth humans and other humanoid alien races, and sufficient technology for space travel and military hardware designed to withstand the harsh primal elements, travel in space, and equipped with the best tools and weaponry that the [...]

I’ve never joined a social-networking site until “D&D: Tiny Adventures”

I’ve never been one to get into these “social-network website” things.  Every time someone asks to add me to their friends list, I say I don’t have an account, and I get a look of confusion.  I have a ton of respect for the social-web thing, I think it’s a great platform and still has [...]
