So, we made it to Indianapolis. Stopped for lunch at The Tamale Place, which was easily as good as we had hoped. I was a little disappointed that they were out of their dessert tamales, but after seeing the huge amount of food you get with the tamale combo, I … Continue reading
Posting by iPhone, so this is gonna be short. We’ve made it to Rochelle, and had dinner at Vince’s Pizza, thus proving it wasn’t a product of our imagination. I actually tried the pizza, which was amazingly good. Clint had the ravioli – a huge plate with bolognese sauce and … Continue reading
Early ((Far earlier than I’m usually willing to get out of bed.)) Tuesday morning, Clint and I get in the car and drive down to Indianapolis for GenCon Indy. This is the thirteenth year in a row we’ve done this, and we’ve pretty much got the road trip down to … Continue reading
Friday night was the final session of my Feints & Gambits DFRPG campaign. The campaign ran 23 sessions, including the character creation and setting creation sessions ((I count those because, as the rulebook rightly says, these are part of play.

Our last session of Clint’s New Centurions campaign had us finish off the battle against the huge warbeast and its escort from the previous session.

It uses a number of stock pieces, such as NPCs, organizations, and locations, that are strung together by individual GMs to fit player action. The adventures I create with it may or may not match any other GM’s version of the … Continue reading
So, I’ve finished reading over the Civil War event book for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, and was really impressed. It is, of course, a beautiful book, full of Marvel comic book art, and Jeremy Keller’s wonderful layout. But that’s only part of it. It really succeeds on three levels: as an … Continue reading
We’re rapidly closing in on the finale of the Feints & Gambits game. This was the antepenultimate ((For my discussion of ultimate terminology, you’ll have to look at this post. I’m not repeating it here.)) session of the game, so only two more sessions left now that this one is … Continue reading
*** Potential Spoilers *** The adventure described below is loosely based on the great sword-and-sorcery novel Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed. I think what happens in the game is probably different enough from what happens in the novel that nothing’s gonna get ruined, but things change in … Continue reading
