*The sound of chirping*

I promised a post a little while back, and then I went AWOL. All I have to say is: I'm sorry. Stuff has been happening, life has flown by in a hurry and it's well past midnight... again. Mr. K and me have been up to so much these past weeks that I have barely been able to catch a breath, and It's not over yet.

The K's are singers on the side and we are a part of a concert this weekend. Which meant that we have visitors. Mr. K's parents to be exact, and there is nothing more terrifying than a visit from the mother-in-law. So Mrs. K have been doing a lot of cleaning. And on top of that, tomorrow is Mr. K's birthday. Phew!

So: I hereby promise to write and schedule at least 5 blog posts on Monday next week. If I go AWOL again you are hereby given permission to call me on my shit.

Until next week
Mrs. K

The long lost adventurer

I have been gone for a while now. Since June I have been doing lots of field work, until the start of September. Then it was straight back the office and my masters. So the last few weeks I have been very busy with my writing and keeping up with Mr. K, who has taken a short break from his role as the DM of our group. And such, we have not done any gaming since I was at field work.

It has been bothering me lately how little time I really spend on the blog, so I finished some of the many plans I have had and started planning my blogging a bit more. I have decided to have some weekly and monthly posts to share with you. The following are the ones I have planned, so cross you toes and hold your nose.

Tool Tip Tuesdays

Every Tuesday, barring disaster or illness, I will write about one of the many tools out there for players and Dungeon Masters like.

RPG Shop Spotlight

The first Friday of the month I will do a little piece on an online store that sell RPG gear and gadgets.

Rules and Regulation Fridays

Every Friday but the first of the month, I will write a post about a set of rules, how they work and how they can be implemented in the game (if they are not already).

So there you have it. I will do this Friday's shop spotlight tomorrow since it is getting quite late here and I spent all day doing sensible, boring stuff.

You will hear from me again in the near future.

Mrs. K

First Impressions:

When you do a google search for rpg shops, this is the one that pops up first under the address rpglife.com. The link then leads you to this page. At first glance I was a bit sceptical, but the layout grew on me in record speed. The main page lets you quickly get a view of the range of items they sell and also gives you an idea of what items are on sale now.

Stock:

The first thing I did, ofcourse, was to look at the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 section in their menu to check if they had a good selection. Since the 3.5 edition books are out of print now, I am always happy to see someone that sell them still. Rpgshop.com is one of the few places I have seen the new prints AND some old ones. They also have some 3rd edition books still. I was also thrilled by the selection of miniatures they had. I found something for almost all my characters and NPCs. Absolutely grand if you ask me. Another thing they have a good selection of is the Game Mastery stuff that Mr. K loves so much. We have ordered some maps and cards through the local student geek shop, but it is great to find a good webshop where we can order a large variety of items from. From what I see they have a generally good selection in everything from A to Z of things you would need for you game, that you could find in a games shop.

Verdict:

Thumbs up! I like this online shop. The next time I have some money set aside for RPG stuff I will most likely spend them here.

Mr.K Approval?

Absolutely! His exact words were

"They have a good selection, the prices are nice and in addition they have lots of extra stuff, so those with toddlers can buy their little monsters a gift. Nerds are people too, and we have to get the opportunity to give the little nerdlings stuffed animals and such."
