I love improv when it comes to running table-top RPG’s. One of the things I enjoy most about being a player in a game is not knowing what’s around the next corner, or over the next hill. The more I improv my games, the more I get to experience that similar sense of wonder and… Continue reading Dungeon World: Ask Questions, Gain +Improv

How Dungeon World Ruined Things
As may be evident from the last number of posts here on theweem.com, I’ve been playing Dungeon World. I’ve been reading everything I can about it, and playing/running it when I get the chance. For some 24+ years now, I have been what I call a “D&D guy” (and I would still say this) –… Continue reading How Dungeon World Ruined Things
The [Not So] Lazy Dungeon Master
I don’t really do traditional reviews. I am one of those “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything” kind of guys when it comes to my online activities. Traditional reviews generally demonstrate the good AND bad aspects of a product in a way I never really felt fit to do. I… Continue reading The [Not So] Lazy Dungeon Master
Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentire Vale (Unreview)
Choose Your Own Adventure… You find yourself sitting at your computer, staring at the screen before you. It seems a mysterious figure known as “Weem” has written an article on his website. At a glance, the work appears to be about a Dungeons and Dragons product he recently received. He goes on at length about… Continue reading Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentire Vale (Unreview)
Shauncastic (RAWR!)
I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts. I mean, there are a few I listen to from time, but none of them on a regular “I-have-to-hear-every-episode” basis. Generally I listen to specific episodes here and there from various podcasts when the topic being discussed is one I think I will be interested in. There… Continue reading Shauncastic (RAWR!)
Weem Does Gamma World
Well, I finally did it. I ran Gamma World last night for the first time since buying it almost two weeks ago. Since the release of 4e, I have been running regular D&D games. I’ve run a few campaigns at this point and many many one-offs. However, working games around various schedules has gotten difficult… Continue reading Weem Does Gamma World
Journey Quest… I Dig It.
I’m not a good movie reviewer. I don’t have the eye for all of the elements that make up a great movie, or short video. I simply know what I like and what I don’t, and that’s about all I can give you, or anyone. Tonight, Bruce Cordell sent out re-tweet regarding a new fantasy… Continue reading Journey Quest… I Dig It.
Paizo’s GameMastery “Friends or Foes” Cards
NPC’s have always been important in my D&D campaigns (as they are in most), but I really like to try and make them stand out a bit more. I try and make them each very different and unique. I even find images online to represent them and then put them up on my screen behind… Continue reading Paizo’s GameMastery “Friends or Foes” Cards
Dresden Files RPG, Day 1
Well, today is the day. The players of my regular D&D campaign are coming over today to check out the Dresden Files RPG. I bought the books a few weeks ago, and have been going over them as I can. Last night in fact I made my very first character and was very pleased with… Continue reading Dresden Files RPG, Day 1
Dresden Files RPG: Initial Glance
I am going to begin this with a few disclaimers so you understand can better understand my perspective with regards to my initial glance at these books, starting with the disclosure that before buying these, I knew almost nothing about the series. I spend a lot of time on EN World, and it (Dresden Files… Continue reading Dresden Files RPG: Initial Glance
