An Update on the Read an RPG in Public Week
Posted by Mark on Sep 30, 2010 in Read an RPG in Public
Number of Views :505So, I braved the gamer shame and actually took an RPG into work for Read an RPG in Public Week. You can see the results on the right. I took Savage Worlds in and left it on my desk. I’ve got my AT-AT next to the monitor, which has been there since [...]
Review: Shadow, Sword & Spell
Posted by Mark on Sep 30, 2010 in Reviews & Culture, Shadow Sword & Spell
Number of Views :822Shadow, Sword & Spell has been talked about a ton among my friends, especially Jeff and Zach, so when I was offered the chance to get a review copy, I jumped at the chance. Shadow, Sword & Spell is a humanistic, pulp fantasy RPG, akin to Howard, Leiber and Vance. There aren’t [...]

Posted by Mark on Sep 29, 2010 in Toil & Trouble
Number of Views :750It was Monday morning, and I had a real hankering for some Fiasco. Since I played it last week, I’ve been really wanting to get in on another game. So as I was sitting there, I realized there’s a lack of fantasy themes in Fiasco. I can’t blame them. The game is [...]
The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game
Posted by Mark on Sep 28, 2010 in Dresden Files, Reviews & Culture
Number of Views :3206I’ve read a few of the Dresden Files books and, while I found them entertaining, I started to get a little bored with the writing style (if I hear Harry Dresden say, “Hell’s Bells!” one more time, I’m going to burn the books) and the plotlines became a little stale. I’m a [...]

Number of Views :793That’s right, this week is the third “Read an RPG Book in Public Week” of the year. I may actually overcome my gamer shame and read one at my desk at work this week. If you don’t know what it is, it’s exactly what it sounds like: An opportunity for gamers across [...]

Posted by Mark on Sep 24, 2010 in 4e D&D, Actual Play
Number of Views :1783Okay, okay, I lied. It’s not review week. I haven’t had the motivation to crank out reviews like I thought. There will probably be a couple more reviews coming soon, though. Last night I ran my first in-store Dungeons and Dragons 4e game. When I agreed a week ago to do the [...]

Fantasy Football
Posted by Mark on Sep 18, 2010 in Life
Number of Views :1035I’ve mentioned before that I have no geeks in my office. None. I work in an IT department, and not a one of them is a geek. Can you believe that? Ugh. Anyway, all the guys in the office are playing Fantasy Football, since the season is started up. I was asked [...]
