Andy Collins, Wizards of the Coast's RPG Development & Editing Manager, wrote to us asking if we thought our readers would be interested in this job opening at WotC. We think you'll be interested:
A new job posting for an RPG Editor just went up on the Hasbro job site.
This person reports directly to me, so I have a vested interest in (and significant influence on) the result of ...
We just created another way to connect with Gnome Stew: our Facebook page.
There you can become a fan of the Stew, post weird photos of your butt on our wall, and generally help make our wives wonder even more what the hell we do all day when we're "working on Gnome Stew."
Like all gnomes, we're obsessed with a) connecting with our fans and readers, and b) CRUSHING THE ...
This is the end of Gnome Stew's second calendar year (we launched on May 12, 2008), so it's time for another State of the Stew! (Past State of the Stew articles live here.)
In 2008, we surpassed all of the milestones I thought we might approach, and I wasn't sure what things would look like in 2009. To say that 2009 turned out to be a good year would ...
This is the last article that I will write for Gnome Stew, and I wanted to use it to thank all of the Gnome Stew gang and the readers. At first I had plans to make some sort of grand statement regarding games, theories, and the state of RPGs in general, but I realized that such statements are exactly what our community does not need. Further segmenting RPG ...
Our annual Christmas break (12/24 to 1/3, back to normal posting on 1/4) is in full swing, so while we're off shagging dwarves spending quality time with our favorite liquors families, we're serving up the best of the nearly 300 articles we wrote in 2009.
Whether you've been reading the Stew since we launched in May 2008 or just discovered us yesterday, there is a LOT of GMing material ...

Gnome Stew is taking a Christmas break, but we won't be leaving you high and dry with no GMing material to read over your holidays.
We're going to blow out the fire under the stewpot and serve up five articles highlighting our favorite Gnome Stew articles from 2009, with six blasts from the past featured each day.
We did this last year, and readers said that they enjoyed catching ...
Open Game Table: The Anthology of Roleplaying Game Blogs, Volume 2, will be entering development shortly, and the nomination period for entries is open through December 31st.
Last time around, the gnomes missed this entire process, soup to nuts. We found out two of our articles had been nominated for OGT Volume 1 after the fact. They made it to the final book, and it's an excellent book: 40+ ...
The Stew makes money from advertising (which is split among all of the authors, and which we're currently re-investing in a secret project), and since the economy tanked that revenue has all but dried up.
But just since the start of this month, the RPG ad network we're part of has signed up 12 new advertisers. Advertising revenue is what keeps the lights on in our stew pot, and ...
This is Gnome Stew's 500th article, and we thought to ourselves, "What better way to ring in 500 than with a contest?"
But first, THANK YOU for reading, commenting, linking, and spreading the word about Gnome Stew. We love writing the Stew, and we're thrilled at how well the site has been received by GMs all over the world -- and how much mileage you get out of our ...
Years ago, with a different group than I run for now, I had a friend who was a “colossal dick” at the table. He was a spot-light stealing player. He had a solution to everything and wanted to take the party lead role in everything that was done. He was a friend of ours. Everyone was polite and didn't overtly challenge him, but the frustration levels spiked every ...
Voting for the 2009 GenCon EN World RPG Awards -- "the ENnies" -- is now live, and will be open through July 31st.
I polled the gnomes about coming up with collective voting suggestions, but it's like herding foul-mouthed, foul-smelling, perpetually drunk cats up in here sometimes. We can agree that Gnome Stew employs a white, deep red, and pale gray color scheme, but it's pretty shaky after that.
So ...
