I was considering shifting to a horror-type D&D adventure for the last few games in October the purposes of Halloween. However, we had a player who couldn't make it, which would have left us with too few players to play D&D. So, I decided to run Spirit of the Century.

Still keeping semi in-theme, I used the idea of the Temple of the Pale White Lady ( Read more... )

Do you live in Washington DC, North Carolina, or immediate environs (which I guess would be Maryland and Virgina)? Then come play a game or two with me, or one of many other fine folks!

I'll be running Spycraft 2.0 and Spirit of the Century at two upcoming gameday events. On October 4th, Fall North Carolina Gameday will be held at the Talley Student ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back from GenCon. I went earlier than ever, bought less stuff than ever, and played more games than ever.

I ran the my Spirit of the Century / Iron Lords of Jupiter hack I talked about in an earlier LJ. It worked great. I really fretted the adaptation, but there really wasn't a whole lot too it.

As mentioned in an earlier entry, I am planning on running an adaptation of Lizard's Iron Lords of Jupiter setting for Spirit of the Century at GenCon. It's less than 2 months away and I have 2 different adventures to prep, so I decided that it is time to do said prepping.

Though Amazon and Buy.com have pretty much filled in this need for a bookstore, we stop by Borders when we get the chance to browse and let the kids pick out books. Sometimes these ( Read more... )

As mentioned in my first GenCon post, I ran D20 Mars at GenCon last year, and was hoping to run something Planetary Romance like this year at GenCon. I was hoping to use an adaptation of Spirit of the Century to do this.

At its simplest level, it seems like this should be a fairly straightforward conversion. After all, Planetary Romance is part of ( Read more... )

I did an actual play review of Spirit of the Century on RPGnet , drawing on my home game and game day experiences. For some reason, it didn't link up on the reviews page, but the review is here. If interested, check it out:

GenCon is looming large in my mind. And that eternal question has come to the fore:

What to run?

Running is a necessity, a tradition for me. But another tradition may be going by the wayside. In the past I have chosen to run games I don't get to run at home. This time is different. I get to run Spycraft and Spirit of the Century at home, and would ( Read more... )
