Finished set up for the next game, which is an Out Of Print number called Succession Wars. It was published by FASA back in the eighties. Chris Hussey is reffing. I have a very sketchy understanding of the rules. And I have drawn the most challenging territory to play. About to have my ass handed […]
In my first game of the con… Playing Don’t Rest Your Head. What’s been keeping me awake? The sky is falling, man. The sky. It’s falling!
I had a terrific time at last night’s World Wide Wing Night, Fear The Con’s pre-con social event. Here’s how it works. Gamers. Wings. Beer. Cigars. Brilliant combination. A lot of us gamer types are not the most sociable people in the world despite the fact that we are engaged in a hobby that’s all […]
Chad gives a presentation on how to smoke a cigar. Surprisingly awesome!
I’m at the hotel where most of the out-of-towners are staying. It’s the Best Western in St Charles, Mo. It kinda sucks. The FtB discussion forums have seen a lot of discussion about how the hotel botched reservations in advance of the con. I experienced some of that myself. They lost my first reservation. When […]

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 […]
There have been many Phantoms before the current one – a lineage of fathers passing the torch to their sons, an oath to defend the jungles of Bangalla from piracy, cruelty, and injustice. The story of the modern Phantom, the 21st, continues in The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks, published by Moonstone Books, starting with […]
After we wrapped up our sandbox brainstorming session on our race of cat people Saturday night, I led my players in the first portion of character generation. Over the last several years, I have made it a habit to lead character generation through email. It takes such a long time to make characters that its […]
This past weekend, me and the boys got together for our last sandbox brainstorming session prior to starting the game we’ve been working on since last fall. We’re using the Savage Worlds system for our homebrew science fiction setting, This Empire Earth. In our previous session, we considered the empire, developed a new player character […]
