Just over a year ago, some like-minded nerds and I (who just happen to be good friends) decided to experiment with our own blog about our unifying passion: gaming. It didn’t take long for Intwischa.com to be born after that. If you look at the banner on this site, you’ll notice the tag line “Celebrating…

Charlie’s recent post, outlining his character’s apocalyptic plans for my current Cabin Trip campaign, certainly got my attention. His plain statement of his intentions for his character, other PCs, and the campaign itself initially seemed to me like a secret he probably should’ve kept under wraps. What better way to draw the ire of the…
Team Intwischa has another cabin trip coming up. This trip will present the post-penultimate (the way folks in academia say “last”) adventure of “The Krystoran Quest for Purity”–an adventure in a Middle East-type setting featuring characters from a variety of castes. The quest has us searching for many things: personal redemption, a disgraced Sultan, and…
Today we remember another player character that has fallen through the years, as has been done previously by Chase, and by Charlie, and by myself (more than once). This entry is different, however, because today I am eulogizing another player’s character. Father Emry Wicks was the creation of my good friend Frank, for use in…
On my inaugural Cabin Trip outing in February of 2001 a firm precedent was set. That lengthy campaign, which would enshrine the heroic deeds of Chase’s Wil Delving and my own Jerome de la Croix, opened with a simple conceit: magic is evil, and those that practice it must be put to death. What followed…
Let me start by saying that I truly enjoy our current D&D game. It’s a desert-themed epic that sees our party members out to save their homeland, facing off against both external attacks and internal corruption. The major themes are getting explored. The player characters are interesting and well-matched. The encounters are proving challenging yet…
Having finally come down off the high of our much-touted Cabin Trip, I’ve decided to share a link that served me well toward the end of our episode. It seemed to be a fitting close to our gaming weekend; it engaged each member of the party in an entertaining way, and gave them a chance…
This weekend we played the latest installment of our epic quest across the desert sands. We’re using Fourth Edition D&D in this game, so I should specify that I’m using “epic” in a plot sense, not in the sense of the 4E tier. The game was certainly a lot of fun. We’ve written previously on…
August is now upon us, and for some people that’s a source of frustration. It means that two whole months of their summer have flown by, and only one month of vacation season remains. For our group, however, August means we’re just a few weeks away from our next Cabin Trip. Now all the discussions…
Frequent readers will know that Intwischa’s gamers have transitioned from playing 4e, to Shadowrun, to FATE, to Swords and Wizardry, and most recently to Dresden Files RPG (based on FATE). (I’m sure most of you have memorized this.) You’ve also no doubt heard us talking about cabin trips, and one is coming up in August,…
