In Friday’s third and final slot, I ran the sequel to the game I ran last year: “…And a Little Child Shall Eat Them.” It’s a zombie setting in which the zombie apocalypse breaks out first amongst the worlds children rendering them fierce predators with supernatural strength. Imagine, a toddler with the strength to tear […]
After wrapping up my turn in Don’t Rest Your Head, I moved over to my next game, Succession Wars. Succession Wars is an eighties era, out-of-print number from now-defunct FASA. It’s a turn-based strategy game combining elements of territory grabs (ala Risk) and player negotiations (e.g. Diplomacy) with a healthy application of Battletech backstory applied. […]

At some point you just have to surrender to the realization that there are just more great conventions out there than you can possibly attend. Hopefully that occurs somewhere down the line well after you’ve been to PaizoCon 2009. Woot! PAIZOCON returns in 2009 bigger and better than ever! Officially sponsored and run by Paizo […]
Well, week zero, technically, since the first issue of Battle for the Cowl doesn’t come out until next Wednesday. Still, this week saw the release of Gotham Gazette: Batman Dead?, a sort of prelude to the storyline that introduces some of the bit players, rather than focusing on major characters like Robin and Nightwing.
