Acid for Blood

Role-Play OnLine has hundreds of play-by-post games of every genre you can think of, and perhaps some that you didn’t think of. I have played in a couple of short-lived D&D games on RPOL which disbanded due to the games’ participants getting too busy to play. My experiences were great. The DMs were good […]

The Dragonlance novels were my favourite series of books when I was in high school. The Dragonlance books made me want to play Dungeons & Dragons in the first place, but I never found a group to play D&D with until near the end of my university career.
Naturally, like so many every other Dragonlance fans, […]

My Tiefling Rogue died tonight. A party member was using a Psionic ability to attack an enemy, he rolled a 1, and accidentally hit me instead. For triple damage. I haven’t had the best luck with increasing my Hit Points each time I level, because I am teh suck with my die rolls. But even […]

Last night, one of my guildmates suggested that I stop going to my table-top Dungeons & Dragons games every single week so I had more time to quest with him regularly in Guild Wars. Unlike my D&D party, he can group with Henchmen and other players. My DM will generally not use PCs as NPCs […]

D&D last night went fairly well. We had some n00bs (or they were rusty players) in the group who kept checking the Player’s Handbook, so the pace was a little slow. Wow, I can actually say that I’m not quite a n00b at D&D! Well, I can say I’m not a n00b at being a […]

I spent the entire day working at the “Social Dimensions of Digital Gaming” Tutorial session. This was my top choice of session to work at, because of my interest in the subject matter. It was incredibly interesting and awesome to be present for the discussion. There were loads of really smart academics and game designers […]

Weekend gaming consisted mostly of Guitar Hero, when I could actually get a turn. The song line up for this game is really great. It would have been cool if they’d had a song (or two) from The Darkness, Poison, and/or Guns n’ Roses (maybe unlockable?). Oh my God, that would be sweet. Great game, […]

My D&D group had its first session of the year yesterday. The DM added another dimension to our campaign: sound effects and music. It was really cool! He got a hold of this program that manages music and sound effects for table-top role-playing games. He apparently spent ages working on the sound for the campaign, […]

This article is actually quite a balanced one on LARPing (though there are a few inaccuracies). Some quotes and my comments follow.
LARPing, however, has always been the upper echelons of dorkdom, an activity considering by some as too geeky for even the geekiest of geeks.
As I related previously, I was a LARPer before started playing […]

Forgot to mention that I found, through a former GameStop co-worker, a bunch of people to go to the show with me. Four of us used to work at GameStop, so I do know some people, though not very well. One of my other friends is going, too. In all that makes eight in the […]
