See, that's one of my favorite things about going to game stores--when the freaks try to strike up conversations with me about their 32nd level monk/assassin/paladin that took over Greyhawk with an army of gnoll illusionists. That stuff SLAYS me! Sadly, I so rarely go to game stores anymore...

I got the old Avalon Hill boxed set Powers & Perils for $5 from Big Lots, sold it at a local con for six or seven, then bought the exact same copy back years later for $5 bucks. So I guess I spent about -$2 on it! I also picked up a beat up Fiend Folio for under ten bucks at a used game sale in...

Was gonna put CG@GC on the back, but I'm not all that great at paint programs.

If he sees just one stranger wearing his face on a t-shirt, it will all be worth it.

For the past couple of years, my friends and I have this on-going joke where we call our friend Brian "The Coolest Guy at Gen Con". This year, I created a couple of t-shirts at cafepress that my pals and I are ordering just to mess with him. When I saw that you could open up your own store, I...

Those books are great fun. The next one comes out in September, I think. I came pretty close to running a Savage Worlds game based on those books at Gen Con this year. I was going to have players team up, one playing a captain and the other playing his dragon.

If you mean The Road... *shudder* Wow, what a book... Good, but hard to recommend in a Shindler's List kind of way. I just moved on to World War Z after getting my turn in the hold line at the library. 18 pages into at and I'm already hooked.

There are several clubs downtown. Just go a few blocks south of the circle on Meridian and there are a half a dozen. I can't really vouch for them--I'm way past my club days. There's also Broadripple several miles north of downtown. You'd need to catch a cab up there, but there are a ton of...

I hate to break it to ya, but that place closed. It really sucks because it was some of the best Indian food in Indy and the only Indian food downtown that I know of. From what I hear, the landlord wanted to put a chain in there so they could charge more rent. -- Oh sweet crap! I just read the...

I should repost this: my map of great places to eat downtown. I work in downtown Indy. If you can, try to get to Yat's on Mass Ave. It's too far to walk, but totally worth it.

This is exactly what we do, but lately its been closer to 50/50. This summer we've canceled a lot with vacations and family stuff going on so we tend to bs around just catching up with each other. This doesn't bother me though. The game is basically an excuse to hang out.

Tell ya what, anyone who wants to show up to the Ram Friday night in that back room with 50 dice and I'll set it up. My buddies and I always set up back there the Friday night of the con and drink beer and play 1000 Blank White Cards, so I'll definitely be there. If we don't get many takers...

I think this is how I'm gonna do this. I'll check my schedule on site when I have time I'll find a place and just set up with the cards as a dealer (probably 1/2 no limit). Then people can just come and go as they please. I may even be able to do this multiple times. I'll post a notice at the...

Screen Name: Chaldfont Real Name: Chris Chalfant Nothing else special needs to be added. Thanks for doing this! I'm not a big poster here, but I always meet new people at the con just wearing the badge.

Visit the Ram and try their specially-brewed Gen Con beer. I'm going to ask the brewer this weekend what they are brewing at the Indiana Microbrew Fest. Now if I can just remember to pick up a couple of growlers before they run out!

Sweet Holy Crap, that movie is awesome. I'll add one: Nine Queens. I found this on Netflix. My wife and I are sucker for con artist movies and this came up. And while I'm at it, how about The Spanish Prisoner. We never heard about it when it came out, but got it on netflix too. Its another con...

Picked it up and I'm now about half-way through. It's great fun. I've been really grooving on modern sci-fi lately: Iain M. Banks, Richard Morgan, and Charles Stross. Makes me want to play some updated Traveller.

This is why having Blockbuster snarf up all the local mom-and-pop rental places sucks. They only stock the new movies (like 20 copies of each!). That's why I'm addicted to netflix. I would have never seen great movies like Nine Queens or Run Lola Run otherwise. Plus you can dig up these oldies...

It was nice to see Dobby get some work after all these years. I don't think he's done anything since that Harry Potter movie.

Just finished the Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross. I'm now reading his Singularity Sky. Did you know this guy created the githyanki?
