Lords of Tyr Game Night Live 6pm (ish) Central Sept 17, 2011! Game of Thrones d20

Chadarius — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 20:19:27 +0000

Tonight we are playing the Game of Thrones d20 campaign that I started DMing way back in June (?). We had a blast with all the intrigue and roleplaying. There wasn't even any fighting. That will change tonight. Oh don't worry. There will still be lots of roleplaying. But something is wrong in the little river village of Hearthsport. Something very wrong!

Watch us live on Ustream as always and see us using Google Plus and MapTool for our remote players benefit.

Fortune Cards are not Pokemon Cards

So our neighbors 10yo & 9yo are obsessed with Pokemon cards and some of the other stuff (crap) that goes with it. I cannot go over to their home with Shane to play without the older kids running up to me to say, “Stephanie, do you wanna see how many Pokemon cards I have?!!!!” Then they proceed to tell me all about the different characters. But they know nothing about the game, how it's played or that it is in fact an RPG. Pokemon could be cool if played with emphasis on some tactic and shall I say, hmmmmm, I don't know skill, knowledge? Something! It annoys me to no end! I've actually been out with these particular neighbors when the oldest kid was supposed to be having a Pokemon-free day. He was required to make no mention of anything Pokemon related while we were at the zoo. He was foiled when we bumped into another kid his aged at the playgroun in the zoo who brought a DS and was playing...Yes, a Pokemon game!

NewbieDM ditches DDI

tyrwench — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 05:32:34 +0000

So short of twitter stalking Newbie DM (is there a catchy word for that yet? stwalking?) I have been keeping a little closer track of his blogging lately. Since I realized he's this genius kids rpg author.

Anyway, we have always gone back and forth about the DDI subcriptions. Should we all get them? Should we go in for a group one? Is the content worth what WOTC is asking etc. etc. etc.?

Newbie DM's subscription ran out recently so he decided to let it go at least for the time being. He has some interesting ideas about the whole thing in his article http://newbiedm.com/2011/04/11/why-i-left-ddi/

I really think you all will dig your teeth into it at the next podcast. And we need to find some week night that works to have a little mini podcast with him so we can talk about RPG kids and some of his other awesome projects.

More D&D In Popular Culture

Chadarius — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 21:01:23 +0000

Those immersed in Geek Culture know G4's Attack of the Show. They have an Epic Give-away every week. This week it was Dungeons and Dragons! It looked to me like it was a complete set of the Essentials line including the new Red Box set and a few tile sets. It was quite the "Epic" D&D give-away.

After the D&D mention at USA Network's Fairly Legal show and the huge D&D episode on Community recently, there seems to be a concerted effort to get D&D into the popular culture. I love it. I think its great. Getting RPG's out there into the mainstream is a good thing. One of the tennants of the Lords of Tyr, and a big reason why we podcast and live broadcast our games, is to tell everyone loud and proud that we play D&D. We preach the social and educational benefits of D&D because we believe in those benefits very strongly... Oh! Its also really really fun!

RPG kids

tyrwench — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 20:36:37 +0000

Playing D&D with your kids is getting easier & easier! Hooray! Jeff & Sarah Moore just played with their 3&5 yr old coolest kiddos last week using RPGkids from Newbie DM, Enrique Bertran newbiedm.com. I was hanging out with Sarah Moore gamerchickshow.com and the kids this week during spring break and she showed me campaign.

It's pretty awesome. Way better than Heroes of Hesiod (Sorry WOTC!) It's a full adventure with hand drawn color tokens. I really like Enrique's artwork it's comic booky snd D&D all rolled together. Very cool. Tokens are what caught my eye as they were sitting on Sarah's dining room table still. They look a lot like Jared Von Hinman's work headinjurytheater.com, a supercool artist we met at Gencon with Shelly Mazzanoble. last year (there I have offically dropped all my geek connections in one article – classy)

RIP Dwayne McDuffie

Chadarius — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 15:08:12 +0000

RIP Dwayne McDuffie -

Acclaimed comic book and animation writer Dwayne McDuffie died today from complications due to a surgical procedure performed Monday night. He was 49 years old.

I was floored when I heard the news. I am a big fan of Dwayne McDuffie’s work...
