The Lords of Tyr is a role-playing group that primarily plays Dungeons and Dragons. Our game sessions are on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month. We have between 6-10 players every session. Our group is by invite only, but feel free to use or post information to our web site. We love to meet new roleplayers.

New Characters in our Scales of War Game.

Appearently all new party members will have to be "jumped in" gangland style to join our party! 

 

Best line of the night...when the Goliath is thrown a potion of Healing for a downed comrade, he catches it...saying "Ok, I drink it" and then quaffs it.

The Escapist Interviews Andy Collins and Liz Schuh of WotC

I really enjoyed the interview. It covers a lot of ground. The first part focuses a lot on the genesis of 4th Edition.

Andy Collins: ... And as far as the transition from 3rd to 4th, the thing I like to say is it took the company going out of business for going from 2nd to 3rd, and we weren't really eager to replicate that business model. So rather than wait until it was too late, we decided to be a little more proactive there.

How RPG Gaming Can Help Maintain Good Health

Whilst browsing the web the other day, in search of a quick guide on keeping healthy I came upon an article on the CNN site called “How to keep your mind sharp: Preventive action” written by a doctor from the MayoClinic.  Being more than a little interested I began to read.

It spoke of exercises for the mind and how important it is to keep your mind sharp and agile.  As I looked down the list I noticed a pattern…

I Submitted the Lords of Tyr D&D Podcast to the Ennies!

Well now I've gone and done it! I just submitted our podcast to the Ennies. I am proud of our rag tag Lords and Ladies of Tyr and how much fun we have had doing these podcasts. Our 1000+ and growing listenership tells me that we are doing something interesting. I have really enjoyed seeing our little podcast grow. I have especially enjoyed our podcasts with our special guests over the last year. So here is to the competition! I was looking at the list of podcasts so far that have entered and I have been a listener to them all. Why? Because they are darn good podcasts. I won't feel bad if we don't win. There are many deserving entries and I have enoyed their shows almost as much as I enjoy ours.

Dungeons & Desktops - a book review

I came across this review, by Michael Tresca of the Chicago Examiner. It is of a book called "Dungeons & Desktops"

In research for my upcoming book, Paper & Pixels, I came across a series of articles on Gamasutra about the history of computer role-playing games (CRPGs).  It was the most exhaustive approach on the Internet that I'd ever seen and was valuable in framing my chapter on CRPGs. When I came across Dungeons & Desktops, I noticed some similarities and sure enough, Matt Barton wrote both.
