So a couple weeks ago, Alexander the Hoax (long story) talked me into going to the Forge Midwest gaming convention. That’s good. The scheduling of games for the convention, which usually numbers about fifty people, is REALLY informal. Totally. There’s a thread on the Forge forum where people say what they want to play, and […]

While at the San Diego Comic-Con last week, I had a chance to chat with the folks at the Del Rey booth. One of the publishers let me take a peek (and pictures) of the advance proof of the Bloody Crown of Conan collection, including some of the interior art and the mock-up for the […]

Our Next Pulp Gameday will be at Collectormania on May 31st and June 1st. We will be running all of our current modules, scheduled to match the needs of as many registrants as possible. Register here.

Via Rey: So, for all those wondering “where is that sexy hunk of man that goes by the name of Rey?”…. Email me here. For those wondering where “that other guest writer is?”: I’ve been at Genghis Con, Denver’s largest gaming convention in Colorado. Man, am I wiped out. Nevertheless, here are some six word […]

Rey is organizing events for the October Rebellion convention here in Denver, which is running ‘living’ games exclusively. For those not familiar with the RPGA, let me explain that living campaigns are basically like home campaigns (gain exp and gear, advance your character) except you’ve got 15000 people playing in the same setting (maximum of […]

An all-weekend gaming convention does not take up the whole weekend; it takes up the whole month. Between getting modules from the con admin, running (or playing) “Slot 0’s” to prep the other GM’s that haven’t played the scenarios which you have, prepping player handouts and other tidbits to make your tables “special”… Denver has […]

Well, Living Pulp is in the schedule for Tacticon, now we just have to figure out if we’re going to run my next module, Rey’s, or David Stroh’s. That’s a good problem to have. I’m psyched.

This Sunday, I’m coordinating my 2nd Gameday at Collectormania (which I’d provide a link to if I knew it). The first gameday was easy — very short notice, so not too many people showed up, and all I needed was to run the same scenario twice myself and go home. Piece of cake. People had […]

Ghenghis Con was very cool for me last year, because it was my first real experience stepping back into mainstream gaming, something I hadn’t been a part of since starting the on campus gaming org in college that introduced me to most of my friends. Last year was a new experience for a lot of […]

We went to WiCoU this weekend. ALL of us, for once. Jackie enjoyed herself a great deal with the GM’s she had, and we got to play at the same tables, AS PLAYERS, all day — it was great. Justin played a double slot at an all-kids table and had a great time, then got […]

You know that maxim that the camera adds 10 pounds? Well apparently the internet turns you into an emaciated bookworm (at least if you let it). Curious about my logic? Read on. So I went to AmberCon Northwest this year. This was going to be a big deal in the way of meeting people, since […]

This weekend is fraught with gamer peril. I’m taking part in a local con, playing Living Greyhawk on Friday night, GMing Living Force all day Saturday, and playing a 2-part Living Greyhawk on Sunday. I am, oddly, not all the psyched about it. I’m tired of going to these things alone. I really just want […]
