Take a Break Sunday - Your PC can do WHAT?!

It’s Take a Break Sunday, which means chillin and grillin. Today you won’t get any cool RPG content or insightful gamer musings. In my relaxed state I can barely even get this computer to fix my breakfast.  Stupid computer.  However, as I was sitting here contemplating whether I should eat a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats for breakfast – or a bottle of Gummy Bear [Read the article]

Specialty Horses on Sale! 55%-65% off!

EDIT: Since the original posting, the prices have come down on regular horses. The prices below reflect that. I made a bunch of horses for a special role playing game project awhile back, and they’ve been sitting around ever since.  They are our normal Horse Minis, except that the top-bases are coated in sand (some of them have a little bit of grass).  These are [Read the article]

State of the Shack (mucho importante)

Okay, not really mucho importante, but I thought I’d take this opportunity between our RPG Site of the Year award and our Snakes Theme Week to tell you about… our Snakes Theme Week!  And other stuff! Next Week A while back, we kind of stumbled into a theme week involving Lizardfolk (Brian Liberge is the man).  It went pretty well, and we decided to do [Read the article]

Snakes Theme Week Coming Up (May 9th -15th)

Looking for a little inspiration for your game?  How about sssssnakes?  It seems that snakes have been a part of every culture across the globe, most notably for their role in religeon and mythology, astronomy, cryptography, music, and film.  It only makes sense that the subject of snakes can have an impact on your game. In the second week of May (9th – 15th), we’ll have a [Read the article]

Hi, my name is Chris Stevens, and I’m a gaming blogaholic. My vice of choice is a blog that offers useful ideas and content, one that helps me with my games.  Well, A Character for Every Game does just that.  I mean, it’s all in the name! Not only does Dyson Logos provide characters, but he also provides a huge selection of maps.   Stick around via his RSS [Read the article]

Favorite Site of the Month - March/2011

I love finding new gamer blogs, especially well-written gamer blogs.  HELD ACTION is one such website.  Here’s a bit I’ve borrowed from his “About” page: “My name’s Tyler. I live in Burlington, Vermont, on the western edge of the group of states collectively dubbed New England. This is my blog about tabletop games I like — mainly roleplaying games with a bit of board games [Read the article]

Favorite Site of the Month - Feb/2011

Hi.  My name is Chris, and I’m an RPG-site-aholic. I love finding cool RPG sites and adding them to my Reader.  I especially love it when, later, I start poking around their site and find all sorts of golden nuggets.  It’s like a double win! Well, that happened the other day with Dungeon’s Master, and I’ve been loving it.  Not only do they have a TON [Read the article]

Playing with FATE, a New Project!

In our opinion, no other game brings out the role-player in you, like FATE can. No other game brings out the collaborative story-telling, like FATE can. And no other game can simply be as rewarding – as FATE can. However, with the many incarnations of FATE (and its radical approach to gaming), it can be a little intimidating to tackle. But fear not! We’re here [Read the article]

State of the Union err... 'Shack

Good day, my fellow chummers. It’s Monday, the start of the first full week of the year, and I’d like to address you of our agenda… The Shack is sailing along, smoothly, with a few hundred consistent hits a day.  I think that’s pretty good for a blog that’s not yet one year old, and I’m happy with that (hopefully, in the future, we’ll get [Read the article]

It’s that time again! And what better way to start not only the month, but the year with a nod to one of the best gaming blogs out there?  Gnome Stew! You know you’ve been there, and you’ve probably wondered what they put in their stew – other than gnomes.  Well, it’s the vast number of GM-related gaming articles, of course! Also, I haven’t read [Read the article]
