Seeking Master Denia
For those who are interested, my moderately inaccurate session report of our last Star Wars session is now up on RPG Geek. We’re on to the penultimate adventure of the Dawn of Defiance! 🙂 Continue reading Seeking Master Denia

D&D Game Day thoughts
Well, I had a lot of fun on Saturday as I first played and then DMed at the D&D Game Day. My first game as a player of 4e D&D ever! And, yes, my halfling barbarian was a lot of fun to play. Rather effective too! So, if you got to the Game Day… what did you think? Continue reading D&D Game Day thoughts
The Oasis of the Golden Peacock (preliminary review)
I’ve just spent some of my lunch hour reading through Tim "Shroomy" Eagon’s just-published Dungeon Magazine adventure, "The Oasis of the Golden Peacock". Did I enjoy it? Yes, I did. What we have is a vaguely-Arabian Nights themed adventure (although, in this one, the beautiful princess seems to be kidnapping the scholar) with a number of really great links to the world of eladrin and the … Continue reading The Oasis of the Golden Peacock (preliminary review)
Entering the world of Computer-Aided Gaming
On Sunday, I stepped off a road into a land that was previously unexplored by me: the land of computer-aided gaming. That’s a great sentence. It’s not strictly true, either. I’ve been using computers for a very long time to prepare for my games (word-processors especially.) The sense in which I’m actually using “computer-aided gaming” is this: On Sunday, for the very first time, I … Continue reading Entering the world of Computer-Aided Gaming
And the 2010 D&D setting is…
Dark Sun. Boy, I didn’t pick that at all. Continue reading And the 2010 D&D setting is…
Friday D&D campaign – postponed
G’day, all! I’ve decided to stop running the Friday D&D campaign for the next couple of months while I try to work out what’s going on with the game. Things just aren’t coming together the way I’d like them to and I need a break. My Sunday campaign will continue. Apologies to everyone looking forward to Friday’s session. Cheers, Merric Continue reading Friday D&D campaign – postponed
Thoughts on my 4E anniversary
Incredibly, it is now exactly a year since I ran my first session of D&D 4E – the first session of Keep on the Shadowfell. In Australia, the adventure arrived about a month late, so I got it almost with the core rulebooks. Certainly, we all had the rulebooks when we played that first session, although we still (mostly) were using the pregenerated characters. … Continue reading Thoughts on my 4E anniversary
Back and Forth
I’ve been a bit busy recently. The good news is that I seem to be a little ahead of the game at work; I’ve sent a pile of report templates away to be proofread so it looks like I’ll actually be able to make them available in good time to the teachers. Yay! Sunday’s D&D session saw us almost reaching the end of Pyramid of … Continue reading Back and Forth
Arcane Power
Well, MilSims have apparently sent me Arcane Power. Which means I’ll probably have it on Wednesday evening. That should make the arcanists in my D&D campaigns happy. We’ve got seven or eight encounters left in Pyramid of Shadows. It was a better session this weekend, although there wasn’t enough roleplaying with the Far Realm cultists to properly amuse Nate and Adam. Greg was hilarious playing … Continue reading Arcane Power
Greg’s new PC
(Oh, Adam & Nate… could you forward a link to this to Greg in case he forgets to check Multiply again… ) Greg’s PC in our Pyramid of Shadows adventure has suffered the ultimate fate… she’s turned into a werewolf. Well, sort of. She thinks she’s a werewolf, and so that’s enough for the rest of us! Greg and Josh managed to fail some really important Endurance and … Continue reading Greg’s new PC
