Skill Challenges as a part of monsters?

I spotted a link to this article in Mearls' twitter flow . . . .

I'm intrigued by the idea -- although I think it needs some serious fleshing out.  I'm going to be keeping an eye on these guys . . .

Actually, though, I want to think about trying to use something along these lines in my next game session -- I have a little over a week to plan it, so I have some time to chew on it.

State of the Union ... er ... game ... er ... whatever

We've been playing a lot lately -- although one of my two campaigns hasn't managed to have a session in a while. 

My "serious" group has a core of 5 guys who are going to Gencon and we're going to be playing in both the D&D Championship and the Goodman Games tournament.  We've been doing a lot of practicing  with our championship characters -- playing extra evening sessions, in addition to my home campaign for that group.

My Effigy Bestiary

For one of my home games I've developed a collection of monsters based on the idea of the "gnome effigies" that my rogue frequently picks up in World of Warcraft. 

The Midlife Crisis Revision

I've set up this new version of my website as a place for me to bring together ALL of my interests, rather than continue to barely support a pantheon of other web sites. So, on this site you're going to see posts about D&D, posts about Drupal, posts about politics and TV and movies and writing and the occasional moment in my personal life. Whatever I feel like.

More later, I'm just getting started.
