Toss A Coin To Your... Who The Heck Is That?


This is the one streaming series (and its spinoffs) I get the most excited about new content for, and keep coming back to for rewatches. (If one ignores my nearly life long emotional attachment to Star Wars for the moment, that's cheating.)

Maybe Keep That On the Borderlands

 

When I started playing Dungeons and Dragons at age ten, Module B2 The Keep on the Borderlands was the first adventure every one of us fledgling players knew. It was packaged in with the Basic Set at the time and served as our introduction to the game.

My Second Favorite Explanation of What Dungeons and Dragons is Like


My favorite explanation still came from my Father. He never played but was trying to explain D&D to his friends in "The Crew" after I started playing and was getting the other kids Up the Lake to try.

"Imagine you play Monopoly at one house. Then the game ends. A few days later you go to another house with different people, but you keep the same piece and all the properties and money from the first game."

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was a close second place.

Fantasy Shows I Liked More Than Some Other People Part 1


I had a great time watching the new Willow show. So did my wife, daughter and sister.
Grandma said she watched it, but didn't care that much. Then again, she liked Wednesday, which I figured she'd have issues withTherefore, I've given up trying to predict what she would like.

Christmas Village 2020

America's Daring, Highly Trained, Special Mythion Force
Or
Fights for Folklore Wherever There’s Trouble
 
 
It’s fitting that 2020 marks the lucky thirteenth version of this foolishness.  

With what everyone is going through, we could all use a little fantasy in our lives.

As an introduction, Anabelle presents the Marvel Legends version of the Nutcracker, starring:

Dungeons and Dragons Memories- Meet the Party


Dungeons and Dragons has always been a big part of my life. This is both as a player and as Dungeon Master.  My favorite DMing experiences has always been with new players, as they tend to get more easily caught up in the interactive storytelling and less in the statistics and level grinding.

Old Guy Game Guides: Skyrim- The Beginning


I was planning vacation over the holidays after some stressful times and decided I hadn’t wandered aimlessly through a new open world game in a while.  I’d remembered impressive commercials and comments from friends about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, always liked Dungeons and Dragons, and learned it didn’t matter that I knew squat about what was written on the Elder Scrolls I through IV.

How to Win at any Edition of Dungeons and Dragons

Howdy readers.  Since I’m battling the Sinus Infection that Wouldn’t Die, here’s a blast from the past.

It's a write up I did on a message board back in the early 2000’s when Third Edition Dungeons and Dragons was being modified.  It’s up to at least 5th edition now, but most of my points still hold as those aspects haven’t changed.  

Since the whole "what is Dungeons and Dragons" question has been raised at work thanks to Stranger Things, this post is now timely again.

I think.  (achoo!)

Show Us Your LARP!

I started playing Dungeons and Dragons in the fifth grade.

Once I figured out that Hobgoblins being “giant goblins” did not mean they were twenty foot tall knobby kneed, googly eyed, sneaker wearing mops demanding our adventuring party give them, “FRENCH FRIES!”  it became a regular part of my life.

Once my parents realized it was all storytelling in our head and I did not, in fact, fall twenty feet off a ladder to be caught by a much smaller and scrawnier friend (I was playing a Halfling.) they were quite supportive.
