Another February, another Dreamation! I did some great gaming this weekend. On Thursday, Richard and I hacked Swords Without Master into a two-player game of improvisational sword and sorcery adventure. We were opposed by the nefarious Guild of Provisioners to steal a Horn of Plenty, and pursued by an immense, surreal maw rising from beneath. … Read more
Is this what game conventions are like in Blade Runner? Metatopia was better than a floating sushi bar. I playtested Grognards & Gorgons, a GUMSHOE game of Napoleonic investigators facing down monsters from Greek mythology. It’s does some interesting things with troops, where we are commanding a few dozen soldiers, distributing them like resources, but … Read more

DEXCCON 2016 Thursday: I had to work. But was able to drop Kat off on Wednesday night. On Thursday, she was a whirlwind of activity and set up a mini-Maelstrom within DEXCON. GMs who had open slots would post the games that they were willing to run at those times. Players interested would show up … Read more

Camp Nerdly always holds a special place in my heart. The scenery is great. There are plenty of people I only get to see there. It has more opportunity for me to display my pitiful Frisbee skills than all other game conventions put together. This was our fourth Nerdly, and certainly the best one yet. … Read more
Philly Games Con was a good con, and both well-attended and well-run. Neither are to be taken for granted at a first year event. I was impressed and would return again. Kudos to Dave and the Philly Games Con crew for a great debut. Friday night, I got to play in a game of … Read more
Dreamation is always phenomenal, and this year was no exception. The work that Vinny and Avie and the whole Double Exposure staff do to make the convention seamless is a wonder in its effectiveness and its invisibility. Thanks to each and every one. Now, here’s the fun I had: Thursday 8pm Event: *Kagematsu* “The Grand … Read more
I think this was the best time I’ve had at Metatopia yet, and that’s saying quite a bit. Many thanks to Avie and Vinny and our hard-working hospitable hosts from Double Exposure for making this amazing gathering possible. *With Great Power* My first moments at the convention were the first playtest of my newly-revised kappa … Read more
