Mouse Guard
Number of Views :1470I am a pretty hardcore 4e D&D gamer. What can I say: It was my first real gaming experience; I’m comfortable with it. I like it. Besides a little side-step into a Savage Worlds game, Descent or even Munchkin here and there… well, I always go back to 4e. What makes me [...]
Number of Views :872I’ve always been fascinated by the stars. I’ve dreamt of traveling them many times. As many children do, I wished and wanted desperately to be an astronaut! And as with most of us, except a very select few, that doesn’t quite happen. But I figure I can’t be the only one who [...]

Mouse Guard
Number of Views :1688As you can probably tell from my last few posts, I’m on a bit of a Mouse Guard kick. Don’t worry, we’ll soon return to your regularly scheduled programing.

I’d like to cover, in detail, some different mashups of various settings and see what we end up with. Today’s entry: Sci-Fi/Super Heroes. Imagine a setting where the Solar system has been fully populated, with not just colonies, but whole [...]

Number of Views :2251Last night, I ran my first game of Mouse Guard ever, since receiving the book for Christmas. The morning of, Bridget suggested that since Samaira (one of our regular players) would be coming over that evening, perhaps I could run a little Mouse Guard. I was very excited, and dug up all [...]

Number of Views :531Well, as reported a short time ago, we’re revamping the web comic we used to make called Critical Failure. We’re going to be moving forward and renaming the comic Loaded Dice. I’m really looking forward to getting back to making the comic, and hope you all enjoy it. Within the next few [...]

Number of Views :718I’m the only person in the group who owns any game books. This has become apparent in my 10 years of playing. Now, in my last group (the one that just split), one other guy owned every single book as well, but in every previous group, I’ve been the one and only [...]

Number of Views :653A few days back, I posted about Mini-Campaigns, and got some really great responses. One came from someone with the name Aoi, but they didn’t leave a website, so I’m not sure if they’re a blogger or not. Either way, they had some great points to make. Here it is, and I’ll [...]
