Chatty just wrote an article, ending with the question, “What lessons from work and day jobs have given you good lessons for later career changes?” I was all set to answer as a comment on CH, but quickly realized I needed more room. I normally don’t write long posts, but would appreciate it if you stayed until the end. This ended up being kind of [Read the article]

As a sci-fi chick, girl gamer, and all-around nerd-bird, you could say that I’ve been there / done that. I’ve played five editions of D&D, three editions of Star Wars, three editions of ShadowRun, a bunch of Gurps, too much of the various incarnations of the Palladium ‘Verse, Toons, Top Secret, Cyberpunk, Elfquest, Super Babes, Conventions, festivals, and even some good old-fashioned vampiric LARP. Oh, and I’m not [Read the article]

A while back, I ran 2nd edition of my RPG (we all have one, right), when my buddy, Sam (of the former RoleplayingPro.com) pulled out a pun that stopped me in my tracks. Let me explain… The PCs are fighting vampires in modern day New York, atop a skyscraper. Sam goes out onto a ledge, baiting a vampire to follow him. The slightest mistep means a [Read the article]

In Chris’s articles, he describes the path our group is currently on. We’ve been playing in Eberron using 4th edition D&D. Although our game has started well, and everyone has been relatively happy with the experience, there are enough of us that think Fate can give us more. I was a big proponent for this change until it hit me, “Oh crap, I have to [Read the article]

This series is an extremely subjective report about gaming conventions. Despite the temptation to be second person dictatorial (“You must, you should, you shall”), I’m going to keep this first person apologetic (“I did, I think, I was”), because I really can’t tell you what your convention time will or should be. In part 3, I consider running games at conventions. I’ve never been particularly [Read the article]

What follows is a dissertation that not only proves the existence of Convention Gods, but that said Gods are both Chaotic Neutral and all-powerful. I will present my argument as a series of battles, with the final battle concluding the war. By the end of this reading you will understand that you simply cannot fight Convention Gods and expect to win. Battle 1: Desire – [Read the article]

PAXEast is coming! PAXEast is almost here! If I wasn’t excited before (and I was, mind you) I’m totally geeking out now that the schedule is out. You know it’s a good thing when thinking about it makes you smile like there may be something wrong with you. But Brian, what is PAXEast? PAXEast is a festival celebrating the best of tabletop, video and PC [Read the article]
