Inspired by: Zak (D&D with Porn Stars)

Jaydot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:00:36 +0000

I know his site has caused some controversy before. I mean, it's right there in the title: PORN PORN PORN. The subject of pornography is a complex subject and, frankly, one I'm not really interested in discussing here. Perhaps someday I will endure some pornography that inspires me to write something about D&D, but given that it's unlikely, at least, I'll leave the porntacular bits to the Book of Erotic Fantasy , and talk about Zak's D&D style, which is what he blogs about anyway.

Scavenging for Inspiration: The Hunger Games

Jaydot — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:00:26 +0000

I admit, I’m only halfway through The Hunger Games (by Suzanne Collins). I know there are two more books in the series so far, and I am already eager to tear through them. The author has done many things that I complained about when I tried to mine The Room for inspiration. The characters are [...]

Scavenging for Inspiration: lessons from The Room

Jaydot — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:00:10 +0000

I have terrible friends. First they make me watch Twilight: New Moon (you can see my report on that at Sarah Darkmagic’s blog), and then they follow that up with The Room. I still have full body shudders when I dwell overlong on the movie itself, but after a couple days of temporal distance I have [...]

Animus Report: 8-9-10 through 8-24-10

Jaydot — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 17:54:55 +0000

Recently, I wrote a guest post on Sarah Darkmagic’s blog regarding some inspiration I had for DnD from an unlikely source. This got me to thinking about themes in general, and finally I was able to find a direction for the blog section of our site. We search for clever ideas or interesting theories not [...]

OH EM GEE SO MANY POSTS

Jaydot — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 23:44:14 +0000

All right, so apparently I found some more interesting links that didn't show up in my bucket last time, so I'm throwing down yet again. First, of course, the updates on our personal projects: we're looking into creating gaming merit badges, mostly just for fun. Hopefully we can get some ideas and some designs up sometime next week.

News and Reviews for 08/05/2010

Jaydot — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 00:39:31 +0000

All right, time for a what-should-be-weekly update on what we're writing and reading. We've been working on redesigning the site slightly for easier navigation with the unfortunate side-effect of shunting the blogging aside for a moment. Still, the updates are coming along swimmingly, and we're very happy to be working diligently on our portfolio. Other projects we're tooling around with: (Continue reading over at Level 30 Yinzer)

Week-in review

Jaydot — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 04:03:15 +0000

Work continues apace on our own supplements, but in the meantime allow me to share a few things with you: I did start up a level30yinzer deviantart page, just to have a place of reference for art development for our products. While we intend to hire freelancers to supplement our cartoon style with higher-quality paintings, we do fairly well accept that this is the style we'll be using for most of our stuff. In that vein, enjoy this comic I drew while learning how to utilize digital tools for my "art" (Continue reading...)

Thanks Zak!

Jaydot — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 04:00:56 +0000

Here’s a big Thank You to Zak, who set up a sort of secret santa gift exchange–only it’s a secret Gygax gift exchange, to celebrate the life of Mr Gygax himself. The sage request I received was for a 2d6 random table of odd magic items, and let this serve as a thank you to [...]

Yinzer Madness 07/12/2010

Jaydot — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 04:03:35 +0000

All right, I think we're back in the swing of things. I know we are not prolific bloggers with tons of comment on DnD and the state of the game, but that doesn't mean we don't exist. Just that, occasionally, we like to watch. And play! Our schedule currently includes running four games on a bi-weekly schedule, and we think ourselves blessed to be that involved in our passion. So let's involve you too! (Continue reading at the site...)

How to train your Catoblepas

Jaydot — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 18:43:18 +0000

As to the advent of Monster Manual 3, I can say that we have it, and we enjoy it greatly. While browsing through it, we stumbled upon the entry for the Catoblepas. In its lore it is now an avatar of the Raven Queen. I showed it to our resident paladin, and she literally let out a tiny squee. The thing looks like a hideous, swampy, long-necked death-yak, but she was strangely enchanted. She asked if she could have one as a mount, and with a mock-weary sigh, I told her I'd make it work.
