Private Story Fiefdoms
(suggested by judd_sonofbert) Kat’s doing some role-playing on IMVU. It’s a 3D chat site, and some people have crafted the rooms into fantasy taverns and the like.

The second biggest was the new hotel. It had lots of pluses (easier to navigate the area; lots of … Read more

Friday evening I playtested Mouse Guard with Luke Crane, Russell Collins, and Luke’s friend Bob. I played Albrecht, and brown, low-ranking mouse with a white cloak. He was a cautious, conniving weather watcher. I love how both here and in Burning Empires the strict limits of how many rolls you can make focuses gameplay on … Read more
