Random status update

Last night, I met with Jenn and we chatted about her Exalted game. Then I went home, ate spring rolls, and started creating a new character. For those who care, he’s a teenaged Night Caste Solar from the Realm. He’s a stowaway on a ship and is a bit of a champion for the underdog. (Warning: Don’t follow that last...

Let me tell you about my characters…

I ran through my gaming schedule, so I thought I’d give an update on the various characters that I am currently playing. Sunday, Angela’s D&D Game: Bart Fliegenbart, Dwarven Chef (Rogue 2/Ranger 2) Bart has become the de facto group leader… of a group of misfits. I enjoy playing him quite a bit. I knew that Angela would go into...

A week without gaming…

So, yesterday, Jenn (who runs the more-or-less-every-other-week Pirate Exalted game that I play in) asked me what my gaming schedule was looking like these days. It comes out to about 3 games a week on average. I have alternating games on Sundays (D&D and Mage), a Monday game (Aberrant), an every-once-in-a-while Tuesday game (Exalted, about 1-2 times a month), an...

Gearing up

Life is busy. I was out of town last week for work. I’ll be out of town for at least one weekend this coming month, and I have a big work-event that I’m planning for the end of June. …all that and Worldwide Adventure Writing Month. I’m going to make it happen. There will be goblins. Oh yes. There will...

That Darn Fourth Wall

At the Run Club on Sunday, we got into a bit of a discussion about breaking the fourth wall in rpgs. A DC Heroes adventure featuring Ambush Bug (that came with a mask so that the GM could pretend to be Ambush Bug escaped from the adventure) was prominently mentioned. I’ve always been tickled by things that break the fourth...

Gourm Sneak Preview

Enough panic this morning. Here is some content. I’ve alluded to a project that I’ve been working on that involves an adventure. The adventure? The Goblins of Gourm. The project? A goblin-based city-book, The City of Gourm. These aren’t your standard goblins. These goblins: live in a rotating city made of brass and bamboo worship a mechanical god-king pursue an...

I am awesome!

…or at least not as lame as I thought. Due, presumably, to schedule changes too numerous to count I did not in fact miss the game yesterday. Yay!

I am lame. (and other news)

It appears that I completely flaked out yesterday. There was a C-U Run Club meeting scheduled that I just missed. I could blame it on hectic work and sleep deprivation, but the truth is that I knew that it was scheduled for the end of April. I knew it was the end of April. I just didn’t put those things...

Taking stock

Yesterday saw a rather large spike in readership, and I have no idea why. My stats didn’t show any particular pattern. If you stumbled by yesterday for the first time. . . and actually came back, I would love it if you dropped me a comment letting me know where you heard of this blog. For those of you who’ve...

“The Great Clomping Foot of Nerdism”

I’ve seen a lot of talk about this lately, and its relevance to rpgs. For those of you afraid of following links, sf writer Mike Harrison has declared worldbuilding to be dull, unnecessary, and futile. My thoughts? First, what he has to say is about writing – and reading – not about roleplaying. He claims (note that I did not...
