I always love gaming (both playing and running) at The Yellow King in Colorado Springs and have never had any problems there. I even head down there a few times a month for a "hobby hangout" with friends (we build models, paint minis, work on writing, etc). The owner is a great guy, there's a...

I almost bought into this full tilt a while back. And then Goodman Games made their bad decision. I won't miss it.

The fan (conspiracy) theory that Captain Ron is just pre-collapse Snake Plissken makes both Captain Ron and Escape From New York more fun for me.

Variants of OD&D (my own A Minimalist Fantasy Affair with some of the classes from the Companion) and B/X (James V. West's Black Pudding) this year, but not currently (I'm writing games for other people currently).

Wasn't sure. Erred on the side of caution. :)

The only thing that ever came close was Ultima Online, and that only worked because four of us lived in the same house and had all of our PCs set up in the same room, allowing us to talk to each other in real time. It was a great setup.

Fate Accelerated is a good choice. It will specifically let you do any subgenre of fantasy with a little modification, whereas most dedicated fantasy systems are somewhat locked into doing a very specific subgenre of fantasy.

Back on topic, Judomaster is my new favorite character. He's grown considerably and the scenes where he both: Are great.

Of all time? Grey Box FR Campaign Setting and Dreams of the Red Wizards.
