Thoughts on gaming, pictures I took, and whatever else comes to mind. A New Old Campaign. March 4, 2014. 8221; I’m so steeped in the history now that I find it difficult to answer that question without going on for half an hour about the history of the game. The funny thing is, I’m almost tempted to start calling what I play “OD&D”. The fact is, I use the B/X books, but the majority of my house rules. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Thoughts on gaming, pictures I took, and whatever else comes to mind. GenCon Past and Future. September 13, 2014. For unknown reasons I find myself again contemplating GenCon. We missed it again this year — partly because we’re going to have some work done and are strapped for cash for vacations, but also because GenCon has become something of a mess recently. It appears to be tied up in the geek culture explosion, with record attendance around 56,000. 8211; Once in college I rarely came home for the sum...

Thoughts on gaming, pictures I took, and whatever else comes to mind. October 7, 2014. On a recent long car ride Jenn and I were discussing the fact that demand for physical toys have been in decline recently. I say, give them some weird little men with too many limbs and bombs for hands, and they’ll be entertained for weeks. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Thoughts on gaming, pictures I took, and whatever else comes to mind. August 21, 2012. I’ll go over specific stuff later, but for now, here are some lessons learned this year:. 3 Enough with the early morning games already! Also, 10-12 is not enough time for a real game. Suggestion: ear-mark 10-12 for roaming the exhibit hall, then have an afternoon game scheduled, and then Thurs/Fri night for more gaming and Sat night for TOVA. 4 The secret door in Hammer of the God is too well hidden. 8230;] 2012 ̵...

Thoughts on gaming, pictures I took, and whatever else comes to mind. August 2, 2011. Running games for the DGS. Will get to meet up with an old co-worker and gaming friend I haven’t seen for a good six months now. Wow, has it really been that long? In other industry name-dropping news, I’ve been invited to a party on Saturday night by Bob Salvatore. I’m both terribly excited and intimidated by this.

Thoughts on gaming, pictures I took, and whatever else comes to mind. November 16, 2011. To date I’ve run my game using as a source book some modified versions of Labyrinth Lord. I made the effort to actually create physical books. Which has been well received. The idea with these books was that if I needed to make further changes to the text, they would be easy to update (they have re-openable bindings). Download the B/X Changelist.

Thoughts on gaming, pictures I took, and whatever else comes to mind. September 8, 2014. The following assumes you know the whole back-story of the disappearance of James Maliszewski and his blog Grognardia a couple of years ago. If not, here’s a couple links. Let’s begin with James’ own motivations. He was pretty enamored of the idea of a mega-dungeon for some time, and wrote about such frequently on his blog:. The fact is, you can’t package the magic of the shared history among DM and players....
