Laziest NPC generator…ever
But even I sometimes need to put an NPC together in a dire emergency.
X-Wing dress rehearsal
Next weekend I’m attending my first Gamers’ Weekend. Despite it being a bittersweet reunion with a couple people I used to play D&D with, the focus will be on non-RPGs like Pandemic, Cards Against Humanity and probably Munchkin. I’m really … Continue reading
One handsome devil…I mean, demon
A nice mini of Graz’zt, the Demon Prince of Vice which in D&D terms tends to be prostitution and other activities avid D&D players rarely participate in! Hasbro only allowed 1500 to be made so I scored one. A nice … Continue reading
I must have this gaming table! 2015 edition
I posted a different one years ago but that guy allegedly sold his off and he never published the blueprints to make others. This table up above is actually sold by a guy in Wisconsin via his own company called … Continue reading

Patton Oswalt ranked the GOP debaters in D&D terms
Comedian Patton Oswalt decided to endure the pain of the latest GOP circle jerk, never mind that the election is a year away but I also loved how it was also his middle finger to fantasy football fanatics. The latter … Continue reading
New solution to my D&D/PF book “problem”
Roleplaying games (RPGs) are awesome but one huge downside is all the books. Sure, many contain optional rules/ideas you don’t have to incorporate if you don’t want to, contrary to the critics claiming “orthodoxy.” I just like to have the … Continue reading
Why craps dice have “hard” corners
Over the years, Las Vegas has slowly integrated technological changes/improvements to save money (vouchers instead of dumping quarters, no more plastic cups) or to get people with social anxiety to play (pop-o-matic craps, solo roulette machines). The one element I … Continue reading
D&D Fifth Edition is a year old and remains unimpressive
The people behind enworld.org, a decent rumor site plugging both D&D and Pathfinder, mentioned that around this time, WOTC released the new starter kit for what would be their apology for Fourth Edition. Trying to keep an open mind, I … Continue reading
These are the good kind of hairy gnolls…
…and not the gross kind that smell like ass, aka self-appointed “expert” and “critic” Harry Knowles, the guy behind Ain’t it Cool. Beyonce Knowles has her moments even I don’t care for her music. Oh wait, the Knoll Brothers did give … Continue reading

D&D with Lego Minifigs!
These people playing at Dragon’s Lair the other night were generous enough to let me take a photo. It’s not a terribly original idea (I find these more useful with Star Wars) but the Unicorn Lady with the staff (wizard?) and … Continue reading

A little D&D humor
Sadly, I have played with people like the above but their PC got it on with a elven princess or some other kind of “hot” girl.
RPG Day 2015
The final and least-known Geek High Holiday has come and gone. This celebration is only seven years old but when you don’t have Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day plugging it, you can how easily it can be forgotten. I don’t … Continue reading
Another shout-out on Nerd Poker
OK, OK, OK, I’m late regarding my shout out via Blaine which happened during the May 13 episode, #126 “Dick Spiders-Save,” the donors portion kicked in closer to the end this time. It was pretty funny with what he said … Continue reading
Blaine Capatch
My after-party photo with fellow DM and hilarious joke-writer/teller Blaine! I’m not sure if I grammatically structured that last sentence, we’re only fellow DMs, I don’t write jokes, I only live them. It was great to run into him. I … Continue reading

X-Wing
To close this year’s May the Fourth, I want to throw in the tabletop game I recently got hooked on, X-Wing. Normally I’m not big on games that are exclusively minis driven but my local store (Rogues Gallery) did a really … Continue reading
