August Updates

Haven't had much to post on here lately as I've been working on a lot of projects.

The Art of Playing

It was recently brought to my attention that there are a lot of guides and advice out there for GMs but not really much for players. In fact the traditional wisdom of there being an issue with a player is either kick the player to the curb, or it's the GMs fault (as popularized by the WotC forums). Some of these I'm quite familiar with, others I've been fortunate to not have to deal with them often.

This is just a quick post before a game, so I might add on to it later.

Act I Part 1

So here's the brief story thus far on the 4th edition game that has been described as both "storyless" and an epic story.

Current State

There have been some great updates had over here. It's about time I shared some of them. At least as much information as I can share.

Dark Horizons

Quick Update here to let people know about a special event this weekend.

On System Mastery and 3.5

When I commented on how I dislike unmodified 3.5, I got a lot of comments on how it's the GM's job to modify it.

Notes!

So the issue of my notes for sessions and play has come up, and I think it's a pretty important topic to gaming for everyone.

The Goblin Temple

The crew battled their way through the jungle along the river pass, to a temple that had been looming in the distance.

Welcome to the Jungle

So for the second week of our online adventures in 4e Dungeons and Dragons, the party explored the jungle on their way to their goal.

Fourth Redux

So now that I know more about how to help the players make decent characters that won't have trouble with easy difficulty challenges, I decided to run some more Fourth Edition Dungeons and Dragons. Same thing as before, just with different characters. The only thing I'll be changing is the loot and the difficulty of the combats.

Tetro Revised

I've been working on the new revision for Tetro for a while now and I have some updates about it for the people that are in that game setting.

B-Roll

Ok, Team B-Roll. The online next game will start soon, so remember to turn in your character sheets by e-mailing them to me. I'll send out reminders later this week to anyone that hasn't gotten them in.

Dungeons and Dragons 3.5

So now I kind of want to run just a flat out, Rules As Written, play as they lay, 3.5 game of Dungeons and Dragons.
