Here’s a Cha’pa (Beaverfolk) Fighter I just posted on Thingiverse A friend saw the badger I made and went to Oregon State, sooooooo… I guess Go Beavers! But also, the Spelljammer Dungeons & Dragons stuff has been fun to play through. For those that want to go beyond some of the existing animal hybrids, here’s a Beaverfolk (Cha’pa) fighter. Could probably use as an Opsu (Possumfolk) fighter as well, given the similarities and all that (if you just thinned the tail to make it look more like a possum tail). It’s unlicensed, so remix away and have fun! The badger turned out better, but throw this into blender, add some…

Hadozee Monk .stl
Just posted this Hadozee Monk to Thingiverse For those who are playing with simian-inspired characters, here’s a Hadozee monk (or humanoid monk-ey hybrid). This one was going for more of an Eastern campaign setting (think Kara-Tur) based on a suit of armor I saw one time in Istanbul. Could be played as another class or whatever, but this stl was designed as a 28mm role-playing miniature for use in a Dungeons & Dragons one-shot I’m writing. Hope you enjoy! Oh, and to see my other designs to print, feel free to check out https://www.thingiverse.com/krypted/designs. I publish everything without a limited license, so feel free to print and sell, remix and…

My Huffington Post Article: From Dungeon Master to SCRUM Master
My latest post on Huffington Post is “From Dungeon Master to Scrum Master: 15 Software Development Lessons from Dungeons and Dragons” and is a bit of a revamp of my D&D article from here, but geared towards SCRUM mastering and managing Software Development teams. You may find it fun and kitschy or you may find it dumb. I’m kinda’ ok with both (I’m learning that I can’t make all the people happy all the time). A sampling of that article: I started playing Dungeons and Dragons in about the 5th or 6th grade. I didn’t get good at it for a while, but once I did, I didn’t play much longer…

20 Lessons About Business I Learned From Dungeons & Dragons
I started playing Dungeons and Dragons in about the 5th or 6th grade. I didn’t get good at it for awhile. And once I got good at it, I didn’t play much longer (insert reference to “The Best Days of My Life” here). Along the way, I learned a few lessons that until I got older, I didn’t realize were great life lessons. I also learned a lot that helped me later in life in the business world. Here’s a few you may or may not agree with (and yes, the image is of a box sitting on my table at home:). Build a great campaign and then if the…

SMIME in OS X Lion
In a previous article I showed how to get and install an SMIME certificate. Now let’s look at installing it into Mail. It’s really, really hard. First, open Mail. Then, click on the Mail menu and select Preferences. Then click on Accounts. Then click on the account you got an SMIME cert for. Then, in the TLS box, select the certificate you want to use. Next, go to compose a new message. You will see the little disclosure triangle to the left of the From dialog. Click on it and then check the box for the lock and the icon to the right of that, meant to look like a…

Dungeons and Dragons
I walked into my office and caught people playing Dungeons and Dragons. It brought a smile to my face. I haven’t played since I was in the 8th grade (or 7th) but I remember those days fondly, with Rob, Jason, Steve, etc. And seeing that my office is as geeky as it should made me very happy. It was on a Saturday, btw, so they weren’t playing D&D instead of working. 🙂
