As a gamemaster, you must never discount that player motivation will often trump character motivation.

However, sometimes there’s a carrot dangling that no player can resist […]
After listening to Fear the Boot’s recent episode on playing animal characters, I wrote yesterday about playing something approaching a true animal (i.e. no thumbs, no pants). Today, I want to pick up on the other part of FtB’s episode. Role playing more human-like animal characters. Y’know, furries. Anthropomorphs The hosts of Fear the Boot […]
The great thing about Fear the Boot is that I often disagree with them, which gives me stuff to write about here. And when I say ‘often,’ I mean ‘all-the-time.’ So no shortage of content here at IoM. In last week’s curiously well-timed episode that dropped Friday instead of its usual Wednesday and that […]

Raaphorst has a unique visual flair, and a […]

Oh man…am I the only one who didn’t even know they were making Wrong Turn 3? Well, apparently, it’s already been made, because below, thanks to ShockTillYouDrop, we have the totally NSFW trailer for it. It looks like a good amount of fun – if you dug the first two, doesn’t look like you’ll be […]
Hammer-time! I know I promised a script review of Halo but, as far as I am aware, the script I have has been tossed in the can by the studio. As a substitute, thanks to YaMBa, I have a review for Mark Protosevich’s Thor. The one that Shakespearean connoisseur Kenneth Branagh is currently signed up […]
It was just a few weeks ago that Wizards of the Coast announced their decision to immediately discontinue their distribution of DnD via PDF. Which, you know, screwed over a whole lot of people who have paid for multiple downloads of WOTC content. The publisher cited digital piracy as the reason for its decision. Immediately, […]
