Blahg

Ok back on the horse.

Some news: I have found a new job.
That sounds strange doesn't it? What I mean by that is I have recieved an offer for a new job at a new company and I have accepted the position that they have offered me. I start in a week.

I'm a bit excited becuase, well, its more money. I am a bit nervous because, well, I don't know anyone there.
Other news, I have moved into my friend Sean's place. Hurray! It chill there and we get along fine. I get to use his big screen tv for WoW, which is fantastic, and he gets my free beer. This works out great for both of us.

So, I told myself that I need to write an letter to send via email to all the peeps that I have gotten to know at my current job (remember I start the new one in a week). I keep putting this off and now i have 5 days to do so. Strike that, 4 days. I just don't know what to put in it. I don't want to be unoriginal and say things like "oh Ive had such a good time here, blah, blah blah, I'm going to miss everyone, blah blah blah".

Thats all I've got for now. Its too early for any of this right now. I need sleep, but I'm stuck here at work not answering the phone and not doing work. GAH!

I'm back!

I'm going to start writing again more regularly. This time I promise to keep it up. I know I said that before but this time I mean it. For reals! I have a new phone that lets me post using it, so now I don't have an excuse. to prove it, here is my email adress: obcflocal@gmail.com If i don't post somethng once a week, feel free to shoot me an angry letter demanding that post right away! Also, I am going to be doing things differently. I still have my musings about rpg theory along with some real life stufff thrown in, but mostly I'm going to use this as a place to post encounters for 4th ed Dungeons and Dragons. There will be stuff that I've used in my games but also just some fun ideas that might or might not work. I'll let you know what I've used and what worked when I have tested it out.

Elite Minions

omething that I've tested and seemed to have worked out really well is something that I call elite minions. In 4th ed, minions go down after taking 1 hit. They fill the ranks and make up the grunts of any adversary party. The only problem that I have with them is that once the players figure out which monsters are elites, they focus fire using their at-will powers and try and blown them away with their aoe attacks. This is a good stratagy for them, but as a dm, we need to stay a step ahead of the players always! Here is the mechanic for Elite Minions: HP: 2, Bloodied: 1; Threshhold: 10 What is threshold, I hear you asking, well it a new key term that I'm introducing where the number it corresponds to is how much damage needs to be done to kill the monster outright. Otherwise, if this damage is not met, the monster becomes bloodied and then the rules of normal minions apply. In essence, Threshold acts as a sort of damage buffer. The exact number for the threshold can change per ...

Game Theory Part 1: Character Creation

OK so, where should I start here? I promised an article about game theory and I am damn sure I'm going to deliver! (rereading this article I realized this is pretty narrative and lecturey . So if your bored, I apologies) I like to dabble in game theory. And by game theory I am of course referring to how role playing games are played. I don't necessarily mean mechanics either. I guess I should start with character creation as that's where players start right? Players should create their characters with interesting and unique ideas that pertain to the setting and campaign of the game. I highly suggest, and in fact require now in my games, that players create their characters together when starting a new game. Players should be encouraged to engage in discussion about each others ideas of their characters which would allow cohesion and more immersion in the game. When creating your character's background, you should try to implement something from the setting into your cha...
