This past Saturday night, I ran a one-shot for a fairly large group. The organizer, a friend from work, wanted to introduce his wife to the game, and to try out the new system, so I agreed to GM, supply pregenerated characters, and the adventures. His job was assembling a … Continue reading
Friday was the latest installment of the Post Tenebras Lux campaign. It’s been a long week, and I was kind of tired and unfocused that evening, and I didn’t have a very good game. One of the things that I notice is that, when I’m tired and not completely into … Continue reading
So, last night I got together with some friends and we* tried out The Stars Are Right, from Steve Jackson Games. The game was originally released by Pegasus Spiele in German*, and SJG has translated it into English. I picked the game up at GenCon this year, read the rules, … Continue reading
Not a whole lot of plot progress in this session of the Storm Point game. I gave my players the option at the start of the session of continuing with the attempts to delay the advancing army or jumping ahead to the next phase of the adventure – the defense … Continue reading

Now, I’m home and I’m getting caught up on stuff, including prepping for a Post Tenebras Lux game tonight … Continue reading
So, by now, pretty much everyone knows about the next setting for 4E: Dark Sun. That’s cool. I thought the original Dark Sun setting was pretty interesting, and I’m curious to see what they do with it in 4E. It makes a lot of sense, especially considering how the PHB3 is … Continue reading
Two days down, two to go. It’s been a fun convention so far. We got into Indy around two on Wednesday, and I caught up with Scott Glancy and Jared Wallace (of Pagan Publishing and Dagon Industries, respectively) to head over to the convention centre to set up the booth. … Continue reading
I’m sitting in my hotel room in Indianapolis, getting ready for GenCon to start tomorrow. I’m once again helping out with Pagan Publishing and Dagon Industries at booth 706. If you’re at the show, feel free to stop by and say hello, and I’ll do my level best to sell … Continue reading
