Gaming, usually Dungeons & Dragons

This month’s D&D-themed header

Posted on May 4, 2014 by Steve

Yeah, yeah, it’s May Fourth…Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars. However, I’ve chosen to go with this awesome piece of fan art by an immensely talented lady in Romania who goes by the handle of Madam Marla. You can see … Continue reading →

A couple cool tools for Dungeonmasters

Posted on April 21, 2014 by Steve

Below are a couple examples of actually making role-playing games more enjoyable. One helps out my “job” as DM without needing a computer or a pesky tablet (aka, an iPad). The other feeds my love of dice giving other random … Continue reading →

Belated gift to my friend Flynn

Posted on April 3, 2014 by Steve

Sporting a shirt dedicated to his favorite roleplaying game and the one I used to work on for GDW. It’s an uber geeky joke poking fun at Traveller’s odd rule with character generation in which your PC can be killed … Continue reading →

Seriously?

Posted on March 24, 2014 by Steve

The people the sign as “aimed” at are why a group of gamers or hippies are known as a stink. The difference being, the gamers don’t try to cover it up with pachouli. At least gamers fall under definition #10 … Continue reading →

New podcasts I’m hooked on #2

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Steve

Before I give a ranting endorsement I urge you to first, support your local comic book and/or game store by finding out if they do their own podcast. Not everyone can drop by every week like I can to chew … Continue reading →

Brian Posehn 2

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Steve

One of my favorite comedians, voice actors and all around uber nerd graced Austin with his last week. Brian did not disappoint. He performed mostly new material as he sprinkled a few bits from The Fartist into the evening. Some favorite … Continue reading →

D&D Storage Solution

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Steve

Cursed Big Lots! What started as a quick expedition for Jones Soda or Monster-brand coffee drinks, ended in some inventiveness. While perusing the toy section I spotted these cheap chests. Then inspiration set in. I rushed to the car, grabbed … Continue reading →

Happy Belated birthday to Lester

Posted on February 2, 2014 by Steve

I didn’t forget this year, I was swamped by other crap in my life which prevented me from posting in advance or on time. We have had a nice exchange by e-mail, getting his address right (again, I screwed upon … Continue reading →

1994: TSR v. GDW

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Steve

My pre-Austin vacation was nearing its halfway point by this idiotic court appearance I had to make. I still have no idea why I was dragged in as a witness for the lawsuit. I was a rather insignificant person who … Continue reading →

Happy 2014 everyone!

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Steve

We took it relatively easy again this year. Somara went to work (and continues) to make all the overtime she can because people still receive iTunes gift cards for the holidays. I imagine that for every problematic code Somara facilitates, hundreds, … Continue reading →

Mini-Adam West Batman with sound effect!

Posted on September 29, 2013 by Steve

DC Comics has been on a big tear lately to promote the Sixties TV show. I’m not sure if the T-shirt I scored at Hot Topic is part of it but the new comic book called Batman ’66 drawn with Adam … Continue reading →

This month’s banner was tight

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Steve

August is a special month in so many ways but I had to err on the side of my geeky past by reminiscing over Gen Con for multiple reasons. A new book telling the history of D&D is due out … Continue reading →

Don’t count on this driver having insurance

Posted on July 15, 2013 by Steve

In my experience with how gamers behave, the correct alignment would be Chaotic Neutral when it comes to certain players doing dick moves. Jeremy has the better name for it…Chaotic Asshole. Seems to fit the high-profile LibTards: freedom, freedom, freedom except … Continue reading →

A more philosophical die

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Steve

What a cool way to come up with a die that has 14 sides! Half are composed of the seven sins and the other are the seven virtues. The sins did get the better font.

Randomizers from Teacher Heaven

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Steve

Dice maker Koplow has been holding out with the gaming stores! I found these beauties at a teacher-supply store in North Austin called Teacher Heaven. I was there hunting down stickers of apples and I saw the joint had a … Continue reading →
