So, last night we had a couple visitors to BostonGeek Headquarters… none other than indie-gaming founding father Jared Sorensen (InSpectres, Lacuna) and Origins Award Winning Luke Crane (Burning Wheel, Burning Empires).
We were able to coax some information about their current collaboration, codenamed Donut, and should be able to share it with you shortly. Unfortunately, [...]

Thought I would share what I plan on doing over at VeriCon on Saturday. Unfortunately, being Chinese New Year, I may only spend Saturday at VeriCon.

I freakin’ kid you not.
Wizards of the Coast is sponsoring an offical Worldwide D&D Game Day.
Saturday, November 5th. No matter where you are, look at their list of participating stores and go check this out. I know I will.

My gaming cohorts came to the realization recently that having the ability to hide in an extra-dimensional space can come in really, really handy. The rope trick spell is extremely useful.
One thing that tends to occur when utilizing or toying with extra-dimensional and non-dimensional spaces: debate over exactly how bad things can happen.

I don’t even know what to say about this. It should be self-explanatory:
Dungeons & Dragons for Dummies

Dungeons & Dragons Online
A Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).
I was looking through the information for this upcoming game and was impressed. If they can pull off everything they claim, this could be the Next Big Thing for us table-top gamers. I’m a graphics whore, so I never went in for Ultima Online or [...]

Looks like the usual gaming group might be playing another Monte Cook adventure after finishing up the Temple of Mysteries.
The Banewarrens
This time, with Jason at the helm.
Since it is a long adventure, we will probably play it episodically and mix in some other games with other players acting as Game Master. Should be fun, [...]

There is a great forum thread about what makes a bad GM or a bad Player. Seems like it should be a must-read for any gamer.

So, I had my first night as DM last night. And, it went a little better than I anticipated. Although, to be quite honest, I had thought I was going to do a horrible job.
I don’t have time to write about my experience right now, but Jason, has posted a summary of last [...]

Well, somehow, my usual gaming cohort has wrangled me into playing DM for a one-shot (a game that lasts only one session). Since I have never acted in this capacity, it should be quite an adventure.

During the Winter of 2002, I was interviewed for an article on the player’s perspective on D&D. Since I basically did the interview as a favor to my girlfriend at the time (she was taking a journalism writing class at Harvard), I have no idea what the publication details, if any exist, are.

Looks like I will have yet another RPG to try out. This time, it is based on the incredibly fun MMORPG, City of Heroes.

Unfortunately, I am at work and cannot watch the videos with sound. But as soon as I do…

I wonder if the Heroes played some ball afterward? I mean, there is a hoop conveniently located on their battleground.

The usual group of people who I have played various RPGs over the past couple years, has decided to try out a new system called The Pool.
