    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode 36: Why Are You Covered In Blood, May I Ask?

    Well see, this is how it works: at a socially interactive, off-the-cuff gaming table with people who are playing to have FUN, this is called "normal". Tough concept to grasp, I realize. Conversely, a bunch of people sullenly staring at a GM for 8 hours while he or she runs the game like boot...

    Who made the greatest contribution to Science?

    I believe it was the Archangel Gabriel who thus spake: "Study your math, kids. Key to the universe!" Based on that lofty decree, I guess I'd have to go with Rootin' Tootin' Newton, who transformed simple mathematics into the scourge of many hopeful scientists who couldn't quite grasp...

    Poll: The latest episode of The Walking Dead. (spoilerish)

    Option 2. I grew up in the South and not only do I know dozens of people like Merle Dixon and his brother Daryl, but I'm unfortunately related to some of them. There's no redemption for people (and I use the term liberally) like Merle, and no excuse or reason for people of his ilk to continue...

    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode 35: Failing To Speak Gnollish

    OK, so I have to ask... WTF, Mandy?! Taking off in the middle of a fight, abandoning the group in dire straits without a healer and riding off NOT back to Vornheim, but to Olgrave - and NOT to get help or anything, but to SELL STUFF?! Tizane has always been very courageous and loyal to the party...

    The Escapist Presents: Dungeons & Dragons: Opening the Monster Vault

    Apparently, either you're unaware of the definition of the word "virtually" or you just decided to ignore it's inclusion in that sentence. TMYK...

    How to Host an RPG Session

    Overall, I found the article to be pretty reasonable, with some occasional good insight. I've been running an ongoing D&D-type game for 20+ years, primarily on my own Toril/Krynn/Oerth-like fantasy world, and have adjusted my DMing style over the years, to wit: Most GMs don't act decisively...

    AMC's The Walking Dead Is a Massive Zombie Hit

    What a gut-wrenching scene when Morgan (Lennie James) realizes that he still can't kill his wife, no matter what she's become. And I'm not a big fan at all of child actors, especially in dramatic roles, but Adrian Turner, who played his son Duane, was very good in his role. I love the way this...

    The Escapist Presents: Dungeons & Dragons: Opening the Monster Vault

    I have to heartily agree with almost everything you said, although 4E wasn't the beginning of the "flashy shit", as you describe it - the 3.0/3.5 versions of D&D really amped up the visual flair, virtually forcing you to buy the new full-color dungeon maps/tile sets and hundreds of minis to...

    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode 34: Performing Experiments On Your Friends

    Hey all, I just discovered "I Hit It With My Axe" earlier today and blazed thru all 34 episodes in a marathon session... well, with a few breaks in between! I'm seriously loving it - all of you seem to be having a lot of fun, as well as really connecting with your characters and each other...
