I'm finidng alot of DM inspiration this summer in the movies I watch, which I guess is a good sign that Hollywood is finally putting out great fantasy films that actually have application to D&D 4E.  My recent inspiring film was "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" by Guillermo Del Toro, which is a remake of a horror film from the 70s but WAY better - Guillermo is a genius at directing!

But the main antagonists in the film are actually a type of fairy, which was somewhat unexpected in a horror film.  But that got me thinking about all the references in film and TV I've seen where fey folk are actually depicted as pretty evil things, aliens really, as far as humanity is concerned. 

And coupled with my own research into northern European mythology I've been doing for both my campaign

So, finally after a couple months without running any D&D game I'm back in the road. This time using a campaign I made myself in this "hiatus" I had this previous six months.

I have another blog, its Aldaquen RPG at Wordpress and there I write a couple things I learn and know about the game, things that I want to share with other people. That one is in Spanish, my native language. But I think that in here I'll be posting things too in english about what happens in my games. We're playing every 15 days, so updates won't be so regular.

And maybe I will post some other things too :)
Wait for me in forums as well, I have tons of questions still :)

Cheers!

Okay - my experience with all three of these mediums of gaming are varied and I certainly don't have as much experience with some as others.

First off, the next person to tell me that Chat-based and Play-by-post are "slow" styles of gaming, I will tell you that you fail. You don't know the live games I've been in and just how slow things can get.

Live gaming does not mean a weekly game. It doesn't even mean a monthly game for me. It is a "we'll try to get a game in each month, but if we miss a month or two or three, no biggie." This is why my monthly game ran for 2 years, had 4 sessions and the characters didn't level up over the duration. At the end, I decided to run that same adventure in a play-by-post format and in less than two years, they are just about ready to level up and have eclipsed

 Bells here once again to rant and rave for the rights of jesters left in the world.....      

   All right...I'm beginning to think that the D&D world is totally against the jester class. For one they changed our class name to Acrobat! WTF???? Acrobat?! Do I look like I'm from a friggin' circus? No! I don't think so, I'm not flying through the air on a magic trapeze, or  flipping or flying through the streets, well...maybe but only if it's really necessary. No...no scratch that, I skip, cartwheel on occasion but the point is how dare you call my class an acrobat! That is not a flattering attribute to us jesters. The definition of a jester is an individual that see's the fun in all situations, we laugh in the face of danger! We make
