This week, your passion for gaming may only be exceeded by your passion for… passion.
But sometimes, those words don’t come easily.
That’s why I’ve teamed up with the lovely Lady Vorpal to help you tell that special gamer in your life exactly how much they mean to you! Choose just the right Gamer Gram from below or click here for the complete YouTube playlist!
Click, share, tweet, and Happy Valentine’s Day.
They’re not big, they’re not scary, and they’re not part of a rational universe. (And I’m talking about a “rational” universe that includes some crazy priest dude who decided to turn his teeth into an artifact.)
Flumphs.
It’s like someone decided “Hey, what if we could get a giant bottle of hand sanitizer to levitate?!? And we made it shaped like a hubcap! And we put spikes on the bottom! And the hubcap is made of bread dough! And instead of sanitizing your hands, it would stink ‘em up! Just like that novelty chewing gum I read about in the back of Aqua-Man #172!”
Flumph. Remember, people, there’s a REASON it rhymes with “Hmph.”

Look, John Henry couldn’t beat a machine, but he wasn’t a gamer with The Dungeon Bastard on his side!
Which is better: online gaming or face-to-face? Andre Meadows of Black Nerd Comedy drops in to help sort it all out!
The office whiteboard: you’ve gazed at it, longing for the chance to map out the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth without drawing curious gazes from your coworkers.
On the other hand, every time you game at home your wife asks you if that’s a dungeon or just a sick drawing of Sauron getting a colonoscopy.
Home vs office… where do you game?
The Dungeon Bastard tells it like it is in the SUPER DUNGEON JUSTICE ARENA!!
Gamers, I am the Alpha Geek. Top dog on the nerd pile.
Think about it: my JOB is to coach FANTASY ROLE-PLAYING.
Could I do that if I didn’t have the heaviest atomic weight on the Periodic Table of Nerdelements? (I don’t count Scalzi, that guy is part robot.)
Still, when you’re the top dog, you expect to get CHALLENGED. This past Gen Con was no exception…
I know many of you fans sit with your kids and watch the Dungeon Bastard — or, as I’m told, the “Dungeon MUTEBUTTONCLICKMUTECLICKMUTE.”
No worries, I watch most of my own videos with the sound off myself. A GUY CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH YELLING!
Anyway, there are others of you out there wondering how to get YOUR young’uns (aka MINIONS) involved in the imagination-stretching world of RPGs.
Fortunately, this past Gen Con I uncovered some great advice…
In this installment of Gen Con Random Encounters, I face off against game design guru MONTE COOK.
It’s like 16 rounds of PSIONIC COMBAT — only there’s NO POWER POINTS, no FURIOUS FLIPPING through the appendix to figure out what an Ego Whip does, and NOBODY STANDING AROUND wondering why we don’t just beat the thing to death with an axe.
Plus, we use words and not telepathy. -A decided ADVANTAGE for those of you who aren’t telepathic. (Sorry, Children of Gith, gotta broaden the fan base.)
TWO MEN ENTER. ONE MAN POSTED IT ON YOUTUBE.
Wherein our hero concludes his quest for the elusive and much-storied beast, known as the… ULTIMATE COSTUME BADASS.
But… can it be there’s not just ONE?
