Game Masters Day - Better Late Than Never!

March 18, 2008 · Filed Under Dungeons and Dragons, Me and My Gang · 5 Comments 

I had intended to observe GMs day in much grander fashion than last year, but with Gary leaving us it didn’t seem right.

In retrospect, maybe he’d have wanted it that way.  At any rate, my loving wife made a cake on GMs day.  Here it is:

I. Hate. Slate. So. Much.

I take a few days of relaxation in regard to DnD, only to come back and be reminded of Why I hate Slate.com so much.

FRACK!  Bastards.  I expected it to happen eventually.

I am so pissed off right now I might just spit.  Go over to Slate and tell the jackhole about himself, will you?

Thanks to Shamus for the tip.

We Remember Gary - PodCast

March 9, 2008 · Filed Under Dungeons and Dragons · 2 Comments 

I was planning on kicking off my latest feature on the DM’s Blog today.  I was going to start publishing a series of PodCasts on 4E.  However, there are two things getting into the way of this:

 1.  I’m having a heck of a time getting the podcast software set up correctly, and

2.  The first portion of the first PodCast, which we recorded last Thursday, would up being dedicated to Gary, rather than 4E.

Still, in some ways, I feel like it is probably fitting that we start things, one last time, with Gary.  So, while I still haven’t worked the kinks out of the podcasting portion of the technology here is the inagural DnDReviews.com PodCast:  “We Remember Gary” for your downloading pleasure:

We Remember Gary

For Gary.
