What a punishing experience. I had fun, but it didn’t mean that I wasn’t feeling the burn of the losses in the Resurgence Tournament this past weekend. I had cool opponents, the dude who got the Cygnar coin well deserved it and I won at least one game. Oh, and I got a best painted [...]

Don’t panic! Dread Cthulhu is not about to breach the surface of the sea, stalk the world of man and consume the faithful and the ignorant alike. No, the stars have simply aligned and fortune has smiled upon this humble nerd. Yes, there are some fiscal expenditures involved, but overall it’s nothing but good news:
Mini [...]

2009. The final year of the first decade of the 21st century. Mindboggling and somewhat disquieting. Where did the years go? Where’d all these grey hairs come from? And these children?
Regardless, 2009 was a banner year for nerdy old me. Lots to keep me occupied in the 1 or 2 hours per day (week?) that [...]

More like, what didn’t I do. Oh my, the things I did…
My usual two weeks off at the end of the summer were unusually productive; downright Millhousian in the way everything came up my way. Boring RL stuff aside, here’s what geeky stuff was accomplished:
Started things off on the Friday night prior with our [...]

The sun is high in the sky, the temperature is on the rise, and the geeks flee to the shelter of nice cool basements across the land. Ah, summer! Such a great season for nerdy activities.
The Dueling Grounds is back in business, and from what I saw last night on their opening day, [...]

This past Saturday our intrepid gaming group finished off Keep on the Shadowfell. For what was meant to be a training ground for 4E D&D, the module took us an entire year to complete. This is only, in part, due to people’s busy schedules. Primarily, it has to do with the design [...]

The Golden Globes? Pathetic. The VGAs? Meritless. Mighty Marvel No-prizes? They’re okay, but not as good as…
The First Annual GG’s! (I think the Geekies was taken)
Please note that these are purely my opinion. They are also solely concerned with geek crap only. Let’s hope my esteemed co-blogger contributes his own “best of” list at some [...]

‘Tis the season to be busy. Gift shopping, social engagements and familial responsibilities all put a damper on gaming opportunities. This weekend, the drought will lift a bit and we’ll be able to continue our oh-so-slow D&D campaign. Meanwhile, two things compete for my available time: Fallout 3 and figure painting.
I don’t want to think [...]

Horrible, horrible words to both player and DM alike. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened in this weeks D&D game. I have never experienced this in any RPG I’ve ever run, and the sour taste it left in my mouth has lead me to one, inescapable conclusion: modules suck.
Here’s the scenario: the party enters the [...]

The stars were finally right on Saturday night: we managed to kick off the first session of our 4E DnD campaign. To ease ourselves into the new rules, and to shake off the cobwebs, I ran the first two encounters from Keep on the Shadowfell over the course of 2.5 hours. Even though [...]
