Have we forgotten that March 4th is GM’s Day?
March the 4th is GM’s Day. No, really. It is! Here’s a post that dates back to 2002 discussing it on Enworld. It used to be the fashion to mark GM’s day with discounts. A chance to buy stuff for your GM. This post was written on March the 2nd and scheduled to go live […]
Is the Alpha Protocol the Espionage RPG
They’re tagging the game as the “Espionage RPG” and I can see why – it looks like Splinter Cell. Splinter Cell wasn’t an RPG though and although this trailer looks pretty fantastic – it looks pretty linear too. Seems to me that the choices you make might not influence the plot all that much. Or […]
Index to Sharn, City of Towers
This index was submitted to GameWyrd by the writer Jason Tondro (aka 7th son). The original had a very flaky JavaScript search function written by yours truly. To search the index today; I recommend Ctrl+F. Name: Last name is given first, even in the case of cultures which list a family name first and given […]
Gamer humour | The Newbie and the Ranger

Downloading and extracting PDF RPGs!
I wrote this back in 2001. Back then, nearly 10 years ago, I think it was helpful. The article really did serve as an introduction to PDFs and RPG ebooks for many Wyrdlings. It looks a little out of date now – for example, it suggests many gamers are using Internet Explorer. Heh! No. Not […]
Find Time For Time
This tosh was written for GameWyrd waaay back in 2001. There was some crud reason why the site needed something that looked like an academic essay on RPGs or something which explains the rush job in putting it live – nevertheless; I still maintain you can put all sorts of wonderful mythology/world goodies into a […]
