Which is also the title of my blog post outing my pure gamer-love for Green Ronin's rules. Just wanted to also post here because I'm just really, really digging these rules. It's a true epiphany, though not necessarily on the road to Damascus. The more I read, the more enthralled I become. In...

Just when you thought it was safe to go to Indianapolis . . . oh, wait, it is safe now, since the Accidental Survivors have left the building. And by building I mean the convention centre which hosted GenCon. But even though the Survivors are gone, their thoughts remain. Possibly forever. Now...

Disgusting. Creepy. Icky. While these words and more may describe the Accidental Survivors, this time they refer to the subject of the latest episode, Garden Variety Monsters. Think of the spiders, rats and cockroaches. No think of using them in your game. Now listen to the Accidental Survivors...

The Cyber-state--you can call it the Web, the Net, Cyberspace, or the Electric Boogaloo, it's the network space that connects computers and information in the near future. The Avatar--that's the representation of your character as that character surfs the spaceways of the Cyber-State. The...

Go-Play Ottawa is a kind of mini-con, hopefully an annual event, but just getting started in Ottawa, Ontario. It’s been announced on the Go-Play Ottawa website that the mini-con is on for July 26th from noon to 9 PM. If you are in the Ottawa area, go check out the info and plan to attend.

Not exactly the place for it, but thank you, thank you, thank you for the Pocket Conan. Thank you. Oh, and in case I forgot, thank you.

They survived the machinations of MKUltra . . . Okay, maybe that was just a bad tab of acid, but they were indoctrinated into Skull & Bones . . . Granted, that was a pirate LARP, but they’ve breached the Montauk Project . . . Oh, right, that was the More Talk Project, which turned out to be an...

It's all good, just this time I'm going to be more selective in my participation. ;)

This definitely interests me, but I'm a little leery. Last time I was involved in an EN World Book Club I ended up paying good money for Dragondoom. This time around, if it's something I'm interested in or maybe was planning on buying anyway, I'll definitely participate. Cool idea.

This looks interesting. A couple of questions: 1) Do you have any examples or previews? 2) If one were to purchase, for example, the month long subscription and was then satisfied with the product, could one fold that subscription price into, for example, the annual subscription? Thanks.

I am planning on beginning a role-playing game in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada). The game would happen every other (or every third) Thursday, starting at 7 PM. I am looking for between 4 and 6 players. There would be an initial meeting on the second or third Thursday in July (2008), during which the...

And we ain’t talking stocks here. This time, the Accidental Survivors have decided that they know how to keep players interested, even though they haven’t yet proved they can keep an audience interested. But if you notice players heading for the video game console or disinterestedly flipping...

Some people call it rippin’ off, some people use terms like plagiarism, but the Accidental Survivors just like to call it Finding Inspiration. If you’re in the mood to listen to a bunch of morally bankrupt hacks offer tips on how to steal other peoples’ ideas and present them in your campaign as...

One would expect that a discussion of good gaming would include good gamers, or at least substantially skilled gamers. Well, we can’t promise you that, we can only promise the Accidental Survivors opining about Good Modern Gaming . If you’ve got the time to waste, they’ve got the hot air to...

Thanks for everything you've done for the community, Steve. I don't want to get too trite, but get well.

The RPG community lost one of its founders with the passing of E. Gary Gygax on March 4, 2008. As a way of thanking the late Mr. Gygax for his contribution to the creation of the hobby we all love, Sword's Edge Publishing will be donating its revenues from March and April to the Christian...

Thanks as well, KRB. We over at SEP were wondering what we could do, and this looks about right.

The Accidental Survivors will be recording something as part of a podcast initiative spearheaded by Sam Chupp of the Bear's Grove. My initial thoughts here.

Actual Play 2: Electric Boogaloo This episode continues the actual play session that began in episode 22. If you have not listened to episode 22, please do so before listening to this episode. This episode has only been minimally editted and is not a regular Accidental Survivors podcast...

With characters that prove as useless as the hosts themselves, The Accidental Survivors embark on an actual play adventure in this conclusion to their quadfecta of campaign and adventure design. Starved for entertainment? Then you just might be in the mood to listen to this one. If that one...
