About Musings of the Chatty DM

Musings of the Chatty DM captures that familiar feeling of entering your favorite gaming shop and seeing people hanging around the counter and passionately discussing their favorite games and adventures

I share my thoughts, opinions, ideas and experience about being a game master of tabletop roleplaying games.  My game of choice is Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition, but I often tackle general topics such as using the tricks of TV shows and movies in RPGs, Adventure Design, Gaming with Children and GMing Tips.

Musings of the Chatty DM is the perfect place to discuss with friendly geeks who share your passion for RPGs.

Welcome and enjoy your stay!

About me

My name is Philippe-Antoine Ménard.  I’m a 36 year old, extroverted gamer geek with kids with a driving passion for roleplaying games.  I’ve been a Game Master for more than 25 years and I still play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends.

I am a published author, having written a GMing Workshop booklet, contributed to an Anthology of RPG blog posts and a soon to be published D&D adventure for Goodman Games.

I can be reached at chattydm@chattydm.net.

It is my fervent wish to build a community of bloggers and readers that can share varied thoughts and opinions about our favorite hobby while maintaining a civil and cordial environment.
