Posted on June 19, 2010 by Steve

The ultimate D&D room

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Steve

My ex-girlfriends and parents thought I had too much D&D crap but they would’ve had a collective stroke if they saw this (courtesy of Jeremy). It is rather impressive despite all the multiple copies of the same books and boxes … Continue reading →

Pathfinder hits the streets Thursday, 8/13

Posted on August 9, 2009 by Steve

This D&D section has been neglected for a long time because I just haven’t really been playing or running it. I don’t want to go into the details as to why right now since it’s still a source of contention. … Continue reading →

A new alignment test

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Steve

A major peeve about Facebook, other than its rather intrusive nature, are all the quizzes/requests I get from a small handful of friends. Where was this crap 15 years ago when I had time? I bet AOL would’ve remained a … Continue reading →

RIP Dave Arneson

Posted on April 10, 2009 by Steve

Such a shame this man finally gets the overdue create he was owed in death as the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons. Thankfully, he did receive recognition about 10 years ago when WOTC took over the game in their purchasing … Continue reading →
