New Thrills with Old Skills

     I have to admit, I've been away from DnD4E for quite some time. I just stopped having fun with the system and I was really tempted by the Indie Gaming bug (I still am, by the way. #ApocalypseWorld for life!). However, the new adventure kit titled The Madness at Gardmore Abbey has really renewed my hope for the product and I can't wait to run it for my players.

     But that's not what has me really excited. Y'see, I started reading through some articles that were posted recently by Sarah Darkmagic  and Mike Mearls .They discuss some of the issues with the Skill System that's in place and it really reminded me of why I enjoy Story Based games.

     So, in short, I've decided to try this system out with my new group!

Dr. Mrs. The Nerd: DnD - Heroes of Neverwinter

Hi! I'm Emily, but you can call me Dr. Mrs. The Nerd. I'm here to talk to you about the new Dungeons and Dragons game on facebook despite my serious lack of DnD knowledge and/or experience with RPGs and blogging! I guess you could say I'm a "new gamer," and maybe I can provide a different point of view on nerdy things that I - and others - enjoy.

AW/ZW : More Development

So it's officially Monday! Time for some Apocalypse World / Zombie World Hack ideas!

Zombiepocalypse World

As some of you may have guessed from my tweets, I'm a huge fan of Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World. It is definitely my latest "jam," per se, and it has been occupying a large portion of my games of late. Well, when one game fell through, several people were left to sit around a living room. We decided we'd try a quick and dirty hack of AW, turning it into Zombiepocalypse World!

Minecraft 1.8 part 1!

Holy crap, today's the day! Minecraft's 1.8 Update!

      So this brings a ton of additional functionality to an already fun experience. It really gave a breath of life back into the game for me. Let me show you some of the stuff they've added.
