Just a quick reminder that tomorrow (Saturday, March 20, 2010) is the Worldwide D&D Game Day celebrating the release of the Player’s Handbook 3. I’ll be running the adventure at Imagine Games and Hobbies starting at 1:00 pm. C’mon down and play. It’ll be fun!
It’s been a while since we played, but we managed to sync up schedules this past Sunday and play. As is usual when we haven’t played for an extended period, the game was fairly scattered, as socializing took precedence over actual play. But play we did.

Last Friday night, I got my three players together to create characters for the Armitage Files campaign I’m starting. This was our first time through the GUMSHOE character creation process, and I was anticipating a few problems, but things went very smoothly. Turns out that character creation is not as … Continue reading
