GenCon: My Mecca

Posted by Mark on Jul 14, 2010 in Gaming Conventions, GenCon

Number of Views :726Ever since I began playing RPGs at the age of 15 (10 years now… Has it really been a decade?) I’ve heard of GenCon. Spoken about as advertisements in the back of hardback Wizards of the Coast supplements, Star Wars Gamer, Dragon and Dungeon Magazines, GenCon was always the far off place where your dreams came [...]

Analysis Paralysis

Posted by Mark on Jul 13, 2010 in 4e D&D, Advice/Tools

Number of Views :1246We’ve all seen it before. Sometimes, you’ll be playing with someone and when it comes around to their turn, this happens. And eventually, you do this. You know what I mean? The other night at board game night, this exact situation happened. We were playing Timbuktu, and one of the players froze. [...]

Posted by Bridget on Jul 11, 2010 in Food/Recipes, Forgotten Realms

Number of Views :524So you all want to know what happened?  Why haven’t there been new recipes lately?  To be honest, I had shared my most often-used recipes and sort of ran dry for a while.  But goodwill and luck are back on your side (and mine).  Also, we moved cross-country and things have been [...]

The Player’s Notebook

Posted by Mark on Jul 8, 2010 in 4e D&D, Advice/Tools

Number of Views :565I’m a firm believer that a player should have more on-hand than just their character sheet. They shouldn’t have to bring in a tub of stuff for their character, but it pays to come prepared. On episode 12 of RPG Circus, we talked about the Player’s Notebook, and what it should include. Here’s what I [...]

Posted by Mark on Jul 6, 2010 in 4e D&D

Number of Views :798Listening to Fear the Boot recently got me thinking about an interesting adventuring party concept: the travelling show. Everyone’s gotta remember the part of Dragons of Spring Dawning in which Raistlin puts on a magic show. It was one of my favorite parts of that book. Jim Darkmagic is also known to occasionally put on entertaining magic shows [...]
