Announcing Raillery: A comedy video podcast
June 03, 2008
I have launched a second podcast: Raillery. I plan to release one new video a week, each as hilarious as this one: Oregon Trail 13. Don’t worry, Tom and I will continue RPPR and I will not put every raillery podcast on this feed. However, since Oregon Trail 13 started here, I thought all of you might enjoy it here.

Death by Thumbs

Written by Ab3
Mixed by Ross Payton
Me: “OK you walk into the room and see a group of Hobgoblins sharpening their weapons.”
Psycho Dave: “I flash my talisman of the Dark Gods and order them to bow down to the might of Azathoth.”
Me: “They bow before you.”
Psycho Dave: “Then I behead them.”

Synopsis: Ab3 finds himself running a a two month Dungeons and Dragons campaign, as Deviant Boy, Aesnath, Weasly Crusher, Psycho Dave, El Disgusto and Ol’ Yellowbelly explore the Dungeon of Nasty Doom. Some quest for the Gemstone of MacGuffin while other players search for the Blade of Gory Cleaving. Of course, between the players’ volatile personalities and the many dangerous enemies of the dungeon, the odds are against Ab3 and his gaming buddies actually finishing the campaign. Fortunately, his pain is our comedy. Listen in to learn who suffers DEATH BY THUMBS!

The Oregon Trail Sequel Project.
October 29, 2007
Recently, I attended the Small Press Expo and got to meet quite a few comic book artists and writers. While we all shared a love of comics and other nerdy topics, one subject in particular united us. The Oregon Trail. RPPR has already presented its take of what a sequel to the Oregon Trail would look like today, but I asked 18 different comic artists to sketch their idea of the game. You can see them at this entry on the Daily Raillery.

The Eye of Argon Webcomic Project
September 08, 2007
The Eye of Argon is a classic of fantasy literature and it deserves to be immortalized in a graphic novel format. To that end, I am recruiting writers and artists to help transform the story into a comic. You can check out the details at this blog. If you can write or draw a comic, we would appreciate your help! http://eyeofargon.blogspot.com/

Ab3 Rant #17: The Bad Rifts Project
March 17, 2007
My pallet desires pie but what kind of pie? The patriotic fervor of apple? The esoteric revelations of blueberry? Perhaps the October dream that is pumpkin? Or perhaps the culinary dichotomy known as rhubarb?
Ab3 tries playing Palladium’s darling rpg, Rifts, at a local Denny’s. Of course, between El Disgusto’s obsession with ninjas and Blobert’s Smith’s lurid descriptions of transexual singing post apocalyptic nurses, Ab3 is in more than he bargained for. Take a seat at the table for The Bad Rifts Project.The Bad Rifts Project was originally posted on RPG.net and used with permission of the author.

Another Flame War on the Internet
January 18, 2007
Perhaps the oldest form of communication on the Internet, flame wars are an integral part of the great conversation. We’ve reenacted a particularly common flame war archetype, gamers bitching about what era of Call of Cthulhu is best and furries.
