It’s been over six years since my Year of the Zombie (YOTZ) role playing game came to a close. I served as the game master, or emcee, for five other players who attempted to survive the zombie apocalypse — in Disney World. Fast forward in time. I live in Minnesota now, and we have established […]
I review Quadropus Rampage, a fun game for Android and iOS. The game is free but you can accelerate your progress via in-app purchases.
I’ve been playing pen-and-paper role playing games ever since I was about seven, thanks to my visiting half-brother, and Dungeons and Dragons. Many years, game systems, and groups have passed, and it might be time to pick up the dice again. We play board games every Sunday at Fort Gibberish. Although the cast of characters […]
The vast majority of my computer or video gaming time is spent playing StarCraft 2. These days I only play with my partner wurmr, and our schedules don’t always sync up. I played the Walking Dead computer game for awhile and gave it up after a glitch didn’t save my progress. I was cruising the […]
About two weeks ago I wrote about International Ankle Biter Illustrator Day, a goofy little challenge issued by Zak of D&D With Porn Stars. The challenge: have a child draw any one thing from your D&D campaign, and then draw a displacer beast. “Patrons” were to pay about a dollar per drawing, with rough guidelines […]
Zak, the author of the very entertaining and insightful Playing D&D With Porn Stars blog, created an event called International Anklebiter Illustrator Day. You should read the whole article, but here’s the idea: Find a young person (probably the younger, the better) to draw two pictures for your role playing game. The first picture can […]
We’ve been playing a lot more role-playing games at the house recently. My friend Ajar is running a larger game, and we just kicked off a smaller campaign last week. You know what every gaming table needs? Dice. Lots of them. The “Pound-O-Dice” offering from Chessex seemed like the most cost-effective way to put a […]
The year was 1983. I was either still seven or just turned eight. Due to the age difference between myself and my siblings, it was rare for us to really interact. Before my sister passed away, I was eleven years younger than my next closest sibling. My half-brother RealDoc and his sisters came to visit […]
I review Betrayal at the House on the Hill, a unique and fun board game with a mix of co-operative and competitive play under a survival horror theme.
Gary Gygax, creator of the Dungeons & Dragons and various other games, has passed away at the age of 70. I first played First Edition of D&D when I was probably seven years old, led by my half-brother who was visiting from college. In the next two-plus decades I played a variety of role-playing games, […]
