It has been a somewhat more typical April day here in Ottawa today, the temperature expected to hit the 14oC mark. As I type this, the sun is out, it's a bit breezy outside, but things seem mostly peaceful on the weather front. I'm content to be indoors once more today, as my foot with the diabetic ulcer is hurting quite a bit and my right ( Read more... )

As noted in the previous blog entry of the Friday night group's gaming exploits, the players created characters for the DC Heroes RPG set against the modern day to get into practice with the game system and its mechanics and rules. However, the plan all along has been for the players to take on the role of Legion Academy students in a Legion of ( Read more... )

It's been another relatively decent early spring day in April here in the Ottawa valley today. The sun was out on and off most of the day, the temperature hit around 9oC, and the day was just lovely. The diabetic ulcer continues to plague me, as it is healing slowly, and my bowels have been bothering me because of a new medication I'm taking, but ( Read more... )

Rather than continuing on with the Coriolis - The Third Horizon RPG campaign that they are playing, the Friday night gaming group agreed to play a session or three of the DC Heroes RPG of four-colour comics and super-heroes, as I'll be running that game at CanGames, the local gaming convention in May.

It's been a relatively beautiful April day that had plenty of sunshine, temperatures around 1oC, and a stiff breeze that made it feel much cooler outside. With the sunshine though, it felt warmer than that. Other than the misery that is my left foot from the diabetic ulcer and some bowel issues, I don't feel all that bad, though I'm trying not to ( Read more... )

It's that time of year again! :)

For those who are interested, the early(bird) version of the gaming schedule for this year's CanGames, to be held May 19th - 21st at the Rideau Curling Club here in Ottawa, has been posted up to the website. (It's actually up on the website itself, as they're not using Sched again for whatever reasons.) Note that Registration for CanGames 2023 ( Read more... )

I received my notification from CanGames (2023) that they are looking for GameMasters, and the link to the form for submitting games for the convention. That was back on January 6th. As noted in this journal entry, I've waffled about whether I want to go to the convention or not for a variety of reasons. Yesterday, I finally decided that I'd ( Read more... )

As mentioned in several other posts, but notably this one, I've been re-reading my collection of Legion of Super-Heroes comics from the beginning, and doing up detailed files on each of the LSH tales within. (If anyone is interested, I can post one of the issue write-ups to give folks an idea of what I'm doing ( Read more... )

Just a quick update on things on my end.

The re-edits of the Shadow, Sword & Spell: Basic book are going along at a fast clip, and we're already more than half-way through the second round of re-edits. The process has been relatively smooth, and I like to think that Richard over at Rogue Games is pleased with the work that I've done to this point ( Read more... )
