Long term readers (all 6 of you- heh) probably know that I am a bit of a gaming fool, RPG style. Back in CA, I hobnobbed with the Old Masters for a decade and some odd, and while not exactly a by the book kind of campaign, we had quite a bit of fun, and we collectively got to see a lot of the virtual world I dreamed up, or rather, built onto: the ( Read more... )

So, 7-4, Sunday thru Thursday is my accommodation to the Man, but that means I get Thursday nights free, and there is jack all to do on Thursday nights around here. Mind, it was once the night for my D&D gaming circle, but sudden scheduling changes of some of our players led to accommodations elsewhere in our collective calendar, ( Read more... )

The new DnD campaign I cobbled together soldiers along & ahead; it surprises me still at times, but the feedback I get from the players is very good, and the mechanics of the current ruleset get easier with each session we play.

Kinda says it all, really

But man, talk about timing...

What I remember from way back in the late 70s, were the reports in Epic and Games magazines, talking about this strange new game going around that had no board per se, but used pen and paper, imagination, and lots of funny looking dice. It was also newsworthy up in Utah, since that was ( Read more... )

So yeah, the D&D thang: I've been playing for a while now- I got my books in Junior High for Crhistmas, and back in high school, I started up a school club for gaming, just so we'd have a place and a quasi-official school sanction if the parents got antsy.
