I just found Triond, and thought it might be a good way to get Saga distributed. After signing up and submitting Saga, however (in .doc format, because they, for some reason, do not accept .pdf files), I was notified about twenty minutes later that my request to publish it was declined, as it was [...]

Over at Treasure Tables, there’s a post about describing the death of a PC. The gist of the post is that when a PC bites the dust, it usually comes as a surprise to the GM and the group as a whole, and thus the GM probably has some trouble doing any kind of [...]

Recently I purchased Puerto Rico: The PC Game, and I haven’t been able to stop playing since. I’ve only played the physical game a couple of times, mainly because I don’t own it (my friend Chris does), and it’s difficult to get everyone to agree on the game sometimes. The PC game isn’t [...]

My buddy Dean just posted this really interesting explanation of how Viking culture can be applied to the ‘points of light’ model that I discussed earlier. Some of this I’m not sure I can reconcile with what I have in place right now (such as it is), but other things intrigue me.
The idea of [...]

This threw me for a loop last night. Apparently, Saga has been deemed one of the top five free RPGs by Associated Content. Cool.

Ok, two things have been dominating my geek radar currently. Really, three things if you count 4th Edition, but the initial excitement has passed and my geek-out-itude about 4E has subsided into a general ambient hum of anticipation.

I have, however, managed to catch hold of some inspiring scraps, and I have some suppositions based on others. In no [...]

I’m sure most of you already know, but it was officially announced yesterday that 4th Edition D&D is indeed coming our way in mid-2008. I really, really couldn’t be more excited, particularly after reading this post on EN World.
The above post gives a number of tantalizing details, doesn’t it. Character classes go up [...]

For those who have not already, go and look at this.
Back, are you? I believe that the popular theory is that this is a countdown clock to the announcement of Fourth Edition D&D, and that’s certainly what it looks like to me. Many people would add a lot of doom and [...]

Yesterday, I played a three-player game of HeroCard Orc Wars. If you’ve read my review, you’ll note that I assess it strictly as a two-player game; this is because I didn’t own the expansion packs at the time of the review, and I still don’t. When I played with my friends Tad and [...]
