After playing the WotC adventure Keep on the Shadowfell with a group of new Dungeons and Dragons players, I gave them the opportunity to write their own one-off adventures to play the following week.

Kyle began running his today, named The Ashes of Andastre. For someone with only a few session’s experience with the game, he did alright! It has spilled into a second session, which will come next week.

Part 1 (2:00:23)

Part 2 (2:26:53)

The party is:

• Rhogar (Lon), Dragonborn Warlord
• Kyte (Ben), Elf Ranger
• Boysen (Ian), Human Ranger
• Derrin (Riggzy), Halfling Rogue

Next session, next week.

Put This On is both an excellent (DSLR) web video series and a blog, by Jesse Thorn and Adam Lesigor. Check it out.

The Grip Guide #5: HMI Lights

From cable etiquette to working with a director of photography, Pixel Corps’s The Grip Guide does an excellent job of explaining some studio concepts, specifically for film and video production. To anyone working with studio equipment (including photographers and music studio engineers), it’s a great resource for refreshing the basics.

I had a blast watching the current lline-up of episodes; sadly, the series was cut short. I asked Pixel Corps’ founder Alex Lindsay, and it seems a sequel is in the works very shortly (involving Kelly Herrin from All-In-One-Truck).
