The Dragon's Musing: July 2011
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. The first comabt of the session was very interesting, as it saw not one, not two, but three uses of the brutal weapon breakage rules in the first round of combat. A total of five weapons were broken due to natural 1's being rolled, two by the same character. We also were presented with the question: when one is reduced to bare hands and rolls a 1, do their hands break? So how did I pull this off? Next up is "Chapter Two: Freedom? Perhaps the...

The Dragon's Musing: You May Have Heard Me On….
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2012/10/you-may-have-heard-me-on.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Monday, October 01, 2012. You May Have Heard Me On…. It seems I've been completely remiss in letting you all know that I have been on a podcast. In fact, I've been on several podcasts. No, not several different podcasts; but several episodes of Jeff Greiner. S The Tome Show. I shall endeavor to be more prompt in keeping you informed in the future, but just to catch you all up, here are the episodes I'm on which have been published so far:. This is my first, and so fa...

The Dragon's Musing: From the Annals of My Disfunctional Memory
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2012/01/from-annals-of-my-disfunctional-memory.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Monday, January 02, 2012. From the Annals of My Disfunctional Memory. If I recall correctly, we were also short on time, even though this particular session was at my house for the first (and possibly last) time. This had to do with players not having leveled beforehand, which gave the rest of us time to play the Drizzt board game. Cool that one, wish I had the cash to get them all. A basic grasp which I quickly threw away as undoable. Again this is me winging it, a ...

The Dragon's Musing: Idias
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2011/12/idias.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Monday, December 19, 2011. It is time once again to tackle the harsh world of Athas. I hadn't been able to set aside dedicated time to prepare, but I have been trying to think of some ideas. It got to the point were I looked at my 8 yo daughter in despair and said "Daddy doesn't have any ideas for his game; his friends are gonna be mad." She immediately offered up "how about a dragon? To which I smiled and went on with the day. This actually got me thinking. Pretty g...

The Dragon's Musing: A Short Interlude
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2012/01/short-interlude.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Monday, January 09, 2012. Program note: D and D Next was announced today. Of course I have thoughts on it. NewbieDM tells me it is obligatory to post these thoughts. This post is not it. That post will come after the initial wave has passed, perhaps in a week or two. For now, we return to Athas. I also dug out of the Athasian timeline (one can be found at http:/ athas.org/events. They did try to force one elemental into another’s quadrant, but I had already de...

The Dragon's Musing: February 2010
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. This weekend I start playing 4E D&D game with a new group of players, run by the host of The Tome Show. Jeff Greiner. In preparation I have created my character, an 11th-level Goliath Great Weapon Fighter named Vivaki. This is his background:. It wasn't long before he was captured by slavers and sold to a wealthy merchant as a body-guard. Seeing he had a natural affinity for the glaive, he was trained to use the weapon by the best trai...

The Dragon's Musing: September 2011
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Friday, September 09, 2011. Or - How My Party of 5th-Level PCs Killed King Kalak. Chapter Two of our Dark Sun campaign was entitled "Freedom? And encompassed the last two sessions of our twice monthly DnD game. This was a city adventure based loosely, as the name suggests, on the original module "DS1: Freedom". Very loosely. Actually, our game had very little to do with that of the module. This is something I felt unskilled and under qualified to do. The players lear...

The Dragon's Musing: March 2010
http://awmyhr.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Reflections on RPG's and other games. Friday, March 05, 2010. Review: The Order 66 Podcast. This is the first, and as far as I know currently the only, podcast for the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Saga Edition Roleplaying Game. (There was a short lived official podcast, but that is the only other one I am aware of). I have been listening this show since episode one, and it has earned its place as one of my must listen podcasts. The show also features many ‘bits,’ such as the popular “...One item of par...
