Last Friday was the latest episode of the Fearful Symmetries campaign. I did things a little differently than I often do in the game, trying to achieve a specific kind of effect. I don’t know how successful it was; we all had fun, but I felt that maybe I hadn’t … Continue reading
I’ve noticed, both in the playtest and in my Fearful Symmetries campaign, that players have a tendency to overlook the Mortal Stunts chapter of the rules when building their characters, unless they’re building a pure mortal character. It’s easy to get distracted by the shiny Supernatural Powers and dump all … Continue reading
So, home and dry. Clothes are washing, TV shows are transferring to the AppleTV, basic groceries bought and put away, and the bed calling out to me. As usual, the conversation on the 20-hour drive home with Clint ranged far and wide over a number of topics, but kept circling … Continue reading
Okay. The WordPress iPad app just ate my post (Ctrl+Z doesn’t do what I thought it would), and I’m too tired to redo it all. Here are the highlights: We’re in Rochelle, Illinois on the way home. Didn’t play Fiasco last night, though the Arc Dream guys did. They used … Continue reading
Note: This is not the only update for today. Check below for my post about Fiasco, if you’re interested in how that game plays. And you really should be interested. Anyway, very tired today after the late night last night playing Fiasco. Picked up some Cthulhu playing cards and poker … Continue reading

Day two done, at least the dealer room portion. Arc Dream got their shipment of Targets of Opportunity, the new Delta Green hardcover, so there was a lot of traffic there today. I did a little more wandering today, and tracked down the Sigh Co. booth to say hello to … Continue reading
So, back in the hotel after the first day at GenCon. Things were a little hectic this morning, what with having to finish the set-up of the booth, but overall, a good day. I know sales were up for both Pagan and Dagon, which is always nice. I managed to … Continue reading
I’ve made it to GenCon, and checked into the hotel. Good trip down; always good conversation and music with Clint as my co-pilot. Both Jarred from Dagon Industries and Scott from Pagan Publishing have been delayed, so I’m the first of our little troupe to make it in. Indianapolis is … Continue reading
So, tomorrow morning, quite early, my buddy Clint and I embark on our 11th trip down to GenCon together. It’s a long drive from Winnipeg to Indianapolis – usually about twenty hours – so we do it over two days, with an overnight stop at Rochelle, Illinois, because we like … Continue reading
