Have you ever been to a carnival that has kiddie rides? One of the more popular rides for young kids is the mini-coaster. It consists of several cars, usually decorated to look like a dragon or an alligator. It rolls around on a metal track with gentle ups and downs-a placid, oval journey. It's many a kid's first thrill ride without the ( Read more... )

And thus ends my first day outside of Pelitar's apprenticeship. Even though I'm simply staying at The Lady Luck, rather than the tower, it's liberating. The only thing itching at my consciousness now, is why Fuegan was released to travel alongside me. I mean, it's not as though Pelitar was in any way finished with his research. And, it's not as ( Read more... )

Today I finally got around to printing out I6 - Ravenloft, since its gained such a nice reputation to spawn a board game, and an entire campaign setting, and after reading part of it, I am just blown away. It is a deliciously gothic module with some really great descriptions throughout Castle Ravenloft, and it's surroundings, but what really got me ( Read more... )

I tried various PC games, multiplayer and singleplayer, but nothing really fit too much. That is, until Bad Company II ( Read more... )

Due to Tomb of Horrors not being finished, I can't post all of this lovely account I found of Tomb of Horrors, but I can post the first attempt, which has no spoilers for my players, as the only thing they haven't done in this account they won't do, because they pressed the stones on the misty gate in the correct pattern. For all of you who Haven't ( Read more... )

So, over the last few weeks, I've been going kind of over the top with Roleplaying. I think if there was a pen and paper roleplaying equivalent of STEAM, I'd have a rating of 11, because my nob reaches that far. Anyhow, I've been GMing a D&D 4th edition game over the last few weeks, along with a 1st edition game of The Tomb of Horrors, as well as ( Read more... )
