Revisiting TRPGs…

Two months ago I was very close to quickly wrapping up Rediscovery and all-but quitting TRPGs altogether (my work helping Ann as a playtester and scenario-writer for R3 notwithstanding). Now… Well… This week I might be playing or running a game Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The Thursday game is to be a weekly event; [...]

Risk Legacy

Last night I played a game with Trick (who needs a profile on the site) and Monty called Risk Legacy. I told Trick I hadn’t played Risk in about 20 years and he asked, “How old are you?” “I’m 37.” “Okay, that’s what I thought but when you said you hadn’t played in 20 years [...]

So to head off any misconceptions of WTF I meant in my post yesterday let me clarify a few things. I figure some of my points are pretty straightforward, so let me talk about the others.

Note: This is just a thought experiment and not something I’ve actually tried. It’s basically just an excuse to tell a story and play a bunch of Magic at the same time. What could be better? ;) Adam Styborski’s Serious Fun column last Tuesday talked about several variant forms of Magic. All of them seem [...]

Con Trails

Whew, falling down on the job of keeping this regularly updated. Well, life has been pretty crazy the last couple weeks, and two reasons for that are what this post is about: conventions! Two weekends ago I attended the first ever Geek Girl Con with Royal Archivist. Most of my work happened before the con [...]

Anniversary Weekend

Whoops. Been a couple weeks since I last posted here! >_>;; Well, my one-year wedding anniversary was last Friday, but more importantly it was our six-year anniversary of being together. (Yes, we got married on our five-year dating anniversary. Aren’t we adorable?) :3
