I’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 if I wanted in. I declined.
Why? Because the only reason I know the rules to football is because of Madden 98 on the Nintendo 64. The only Fantasy Football I’ve ever played was my goblin team of Blood Bowl who were known to be really fantastic at losing every game ever.
When I hear about Fantasy Football, this is what I think of:
See? I just can’t take it seriously.
Now, if someone where to come up with a Fantasy Quidditch league, I’d be all in.
I know there are a lot of geeks out there who are also sports fans. How do you keep track of all the statistics in both Football and D&D?
Number of Views :614Forget my last post; it didn’t cut it: it’s been a great week for gaming! On Thursday, I sat down with my brother, sister-in-law and Ross Watson to play some Mouse Guard. Yes, that Ross Watson, the designer of Deathwatch and Rogue Trader. How’s that for intimidation! If you’ll allow me a [...]
Number of Views :596It’s been more than a year since I’ve done one of these, so I decided to do an Off the Shelf Review. For those who don’t know what that means, it means I grab a random game book off my shelf and talk about it for a bit. Today’s review is for [...]

Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows.

Number of Views :684I’ve been blabbering on and on about Mini-Campaigns and their benefits. I know, I know. “Move on!” you say, “we get it.” But I thought I’d share some mini-campaigns I’m looking forward to running in the future. 1. Mouse Guard: Naturally. Probably run the game over the course of a full game [...]
Number of Views :1549I was sent a free review copy of the Conflict Roleplaying Rulebook recently by Conflict Roleplaying, and have perused it. Conflict is a roleplaying game supplement by Mark M. Scott for the Pathfinder and OGL d20 rule systems, allowing for a group of players to play PVP combat while making sure the [...]

4e D&D Number of Views :647 It’s a frequent problem I’ve experienced in games I’ve run and, from actual play posts and podcasts I’ve seen around the internet, a problem seen elsewhere as well: that of the PCs destroying everything they lay eyes on. You’ve seen it: the players going around breaking open every box in the [...]

Mouse Guard Number of Views :1508As 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. For now, I’d like to point you to a mission posted up on the Burning Wheel/Mouse Guard forums, in which the poster Court [...]
Number of Views :590In our game of Mouse Guard the other night, there was a new concept the players had a hard time accepting at first. It wasn’t the idea of the three-round turns, or the four types of actions you could take during your round. It wasn’t even the separation between the player’s turn [...]
