Rumor has it that the guys at Kicked in the Dicebags have found their long sought third host. Satine Phoenix, star of such adult fare as Abominal Black Man 3 and Orgy Sex Parties 7, was the guest on this week’s show. Word on the street is that hosts Jonathan and Chris were so pleased […]
While enjoying a beer out with The Wife Saturday night, I received a message from a buddy of mine. Deb advised me that Ross Payton and his crew over at Role Playing Public Radio were talking about me. Or at least the subject of my previous two YMH columns concerning the use of social skills […]
Wow. We had forty-seven comments on last week’s blog commentary about my experience in a game at Fear the Con where I attempted to use my character’s Persuasion skill on another player character.

Recently, I had the great fortune of attending Fear The Con for the third time in a row. I’ve been told that GenCon is like going to a class reunion where everyone is like you. Well, my graduating class was only 48 people, so I suspect Fear The Con is much more like my actual […]
Best. Wing. Night. Ever! Seriously, a terrific turn out tonight at the pre-Fear The Con mixer. Tons of the best people you ever wanted to chat with all right under one roof with copious amounts of wings and booze in ready supply. I cannot begin to tell you how much fun this was. My inability […]
