I didn’t buy a whole lot at Gen Con. Three games. That’s it. This is really weird for me. Sure, I only picked up a few things at Fear the Con, but that was an awfully small convention with only one dealer. Even so, I bought almost as much there as I did at Gen […]
If you listen to the RPG podcasts coming out of last weekend’s Gen Con, you’ll no doubt hear a common question: What was your goal for Gen Con? Me? I came to town to play games. And I did. Lots of them. I’ve already mentioned Luke Meyer’s very awesome scenario for Hunter: The Vigil, “The […]
Gamers have all played in games that were less than we wanted them to be. It’s easy to get the wrong mix of players at the table where they fail to listen to one another and support each other’s fun. The GM’s energy may be low. I’ve even seen where the entire group just doesn’t […]
As I write, it is Saturday morning at GenCon. Updating the blog has proven a bit more difficult than I’d like. The hotel doesn’t have free wifi and I’m entirely too cheap to spend $13/day for access.

The game opens as five hunters, the player characters, return to their safe house in the country complete with a captured […]

A.David Pinilla and both of his wives (His man-bride Luke Meyer and David’s lady wife as well), Rich, James, Jake, and the much hated Holmberg. It was a bit loud for much conversation, but we did manage to coordinate some […]
Like an idiot, I didn’t get my registration in on time. Thus I am in the line for on-site registration. Line seems to Ben moving well, but word is that it’s a 2 hour wait. Here’s hoping I don’t get too sunburned.
I woke at five o’clock this morning in the hopes that I’d be able to catch an earlier flight. I’m booked on a one o’clock flight that would get me to Indy around four. While my work schedule required that undesirable booking at first, I was later able to manipulate the calendar in my favor. […]
