Daggerheart just arrived on my doorstep! It's a beautiful book. Love the magnetic slipcase the cards come in. I'm a little bit sorry we didn't get the deluxe set, but just a little. The price is really good and we did not wait extra time for it to arrive in Canada!

I ran Pendragon many years ago. We had a great time. Got as far as the children of first knights becoming knights themselves, which was fun. Also, going through numerous squires, who'd then go on an be knighted was cool. I remember one knight's first squire being well mannered, loyal and an...

You can start characters with max hitpoints. Use the pulp mode, which gives characters more luck tokens. And you absolutely don't have to play in dank dungeons.

Ahh, of course. Sorry. I just looked at a date. Ours changes too so it's on second Sunday in May. Just stupid brain glitch. I like Sun before Easter.

UK celebrates it on March 30. I looked it up. In Canada, it's nice to have it in May, so we're not still covered in snow. 😉

Happy Mother's Day to all the geeky moms out there. Forget the flowers, I received a lovely dice box and dice (that have flowers and bees on them.) 💐🐝

It's a persistent myth that was still going fairly strong in the 90s. And Star Trek and science have kind of heard about each other, maybe. 😂

I know. Often, I find myself thinking (or yelling) how do you not know about this? Then I meet a young person who's in love with Earthsea or Lloyd Alexander and I feel better.

That long ago? I guess I can feel smug about my insistence that the activity was boring and really not needed. Ah ha, see it has been totally wiped out!

I was listening to The Eldritch Lore Cast and their young guest was surprised and taken aback that players used to have to assign a mapper to map out the dungeon environment as they explored. I get that this has faded, and no problems here. I hated mapping. But to not even know about the...

RPGs will soon be listed as activities found at senior citizen rec centres and retirement villas. Cause honestly, who plays whist anymore? 😂

I believe Snarf is just trying to demonstrate that the simple narrative of Gygax vs. Evil Lorraine is not correct. He's saying that once you dive into the history, events are not so simple. If it seems that Snarf is showing bias, it's just that he's defending her against that narrative. I don't...

Gygax was complicated. He worked very hard to support his family at the insurance company and then escaped into wargaming on the weekends. Kinda understandable. He lost his job, maybe from using the company's equipment for his hobby? We'll never really know. Then, poverty, a struggling cobbler...

Woman gamer over 70? Your story makes me happy!

Yep. And let's me escape that stereotype. 😂

I've been gaming for decades. I'm grey and semi-retired now and I've been noticing that when I pop into game stores or stop by vendor booths, things are changing. I'm receiving gentle advice, as if I've maybe wandered into the wrong store or need help, so I don't purchase the wrong thing for a...

Yes, she definitely could!

To be fair, rules as bullet points was not a thing when this game was published. Wordiness was the norm, even for shortish games like Bunnies and Burrows.

It's an old game. It was light for the time period. 😂

This is not a D&D game. This is a fairly rules light cooperative game about chivalric knights. It does a great job of capturing the adventure and high romance of Prince Valiant tales. These healing rules fit the genre well because healing can be determined more by story than actual body...
