Ridiculous Fantasy-Metal Video-Off
Okay. So here are two recent fantasy-themed metal videos by two very different metal bands, both of whom I really like. Exhibit A: Polish purveyors of power metal Pathfinder: Comments: Whoa, budget. Nice almost lesbian kiss for the fan-service portion of the video. Nice windmill headbanging. How much does this band shred? This band actually [...]

Why do we care?
So something has been striking me lately with regard to gaming: we care a lot. I’m saying this because in both of the games I’m currently GMing, there has been much discussion of system, setting, gaming philosophy, character, plot, and other things (including a contract which was drafted for the fictional members of a fictional [...]

Gaming Via Skype?
Anyone else done this? Tonight, a buddy of ours couldn’t make our Serenity game (snowpocalypse has him pinned down on the other side of the city!) so we skyped him in. I was a bit worried, but it totally worked. Like, 100%. In fact, it was kind of cool because the way the story shook [...]

Gaming Music, Redux
So I’m currently gearing up to GM two games in early 2011. One is a Serenity campaign with some of my school buddies, most of whom are new to gaming, and the other is a Godlike campaign with some of the Jank Casters and our friends. I decided to do something I had never done [...]

Janksgiving
Yeah. That’s right. We went there. So the episode we record on the 28th will be a Turkey-day feast for the ears called Janksgiving (okay, I’ll stop now). We’re going to talk about why we’re thankful (get it? Wink, wink!) that we’re gamers. To make this the kind of life-affirming, tear-jerking schlock that awards committees [...]
