    20 Board Games To See at GenCon

    Battlelore never really did much for me. The addition of the magic seemed to complicate the simplicity of the basic mechanic needlessly. Still anything that gets you playing in Commands & Colors is good.

    Star Wars: Age of Rebellion Announced

    Yes, they are present in the Edge of the Empire book. And you are correct, the write up does sound as if they are new to Age of Rebellion, but it was more a case of 'What besides humans and droids are in there?" than anything else.

    Facebook the Board Game?

    Facebook the Board Game was recently announced. What could possibly be bad about that? Each one of these news items, and several others, appeared in my board game news feed over the weekend. All about the Facebook Board Game and all assuring me that the game would bring an unheard of...

    Three Easy Pieces. What's in Your Box?

    Gaming pieces. Plastic, Wood, or Cardboard? Which one makes a game sing for you? I picked up Agricola this week. I know, I know, it came out ages ago and I'm behind the curve. Everyone who was interested in it has already got it. Except me, of course. So, why do I mention it? Because...

    Tell me about STAR WARS: EDGE OF EMPIRE

    You aren't. All three books are meant to stand alone just fine and be complete games in and of themselves while also integrating with each other once they all come out. re: Jedi - You are on a journey. Your journey pays off in the Force and Destiny book (2015), but you can choose to begin it...

    Seems like FFG might have heard you. Perhaps watching this will help clarify? http://fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4228

    Lack of NPC stats

    I think it is also important to realize that those NPCs were all pretty much provided by Kickstarter backers as part of their pledge rewards. Attaching particular stats to them from an 'official' standpoint beyond the specific needs of a particular encounter or usage would take peoples...

    Let's Metagame: Star Wars EoTE

    Well done, sir. My only quibble, your space combat may have suffered from a bit of killer GM syndrome :) Most folks seems to do the encounter without much difficulty.

    Tell me about STAR WARS: EDGE OF EMPIRE

    Abstract and lots of folks have trouble with it. We're sort of hoping for some clarification from the core book when it comes out. It helps to consider that your ship is at the center of the combat and all other ships and whatnot essentially maneuver relative to it. Like a fixed viewpoint in...

    Tell me about STAR WARS: EDGE OF EMPIRE

    Now, for the sales pitch. Edge of the Empire is wholly different from the majority of mainstream RPGs that are the usual fare on ENWorld. If you are a lifelong player of D&D or Pathfinder, you are in for a learning curve that some folks have found difficult to surmount. Fair warning. The key...

    Tell me about STAR WARS: EDGE OF EMPIRE

    Ahh Morrus, it gratifies me to hear that you have an interest in the game. It truly does. Before I launch into things, allow me to point you at some basic resources for coming to grips with a system which is both beautiful and challenging. The Order 66 Podcast is THE premiere resource for...

    Article Links in Bios

    In attempting to get a count of my Do Not Pass Go articles, I went to my profile and clicked on the Articles link on the right under my name. Instead of taking me to page displaying all articles I have written, it throws an error at me as follows: I've tried on two successive days and...

    Do Not Pass Go – Too Sexy for This Game

    You'll note that in my summation of the suggestions, I end up by saying that the it is probably some combination of the reasonable ones that would prove most effective. So, letter writing (communication) along with boycotting. Boycotting without explanation just means you aren't a customer and...
