I think part of being a journalist is being a social chameleon, able to blend in and fit in well enough to get people to open up and talk to you. Even when I'm talking to people diametrically opposed to my personal interests or viewpoints, I find ways to build the bridges. I mean, I think local...

Now, if we were talking about powers I would like to have, or that I think would be just cool to have, I'd probably say Flash-style superspeed. There is nothing in my personality though that would lead me to develop superspeed in our hypothetical world.

I've been watching Heroes and thinking about an upcoming Aberrant/superhero game and it got me wondering: What would your super ability be? I'm not talking about which superhero you would want to be in a superhero world, though. I mean, in the world of Aberrant there is a strong tendency for...

What a relief! I have a seminar in Indy on Saturday and was worried about making it back in time for the game. Talked to Jason on Sunday and he has a T-ball game and family in, so he wasn't sure if he could make it either. But geez. Spring is worse than Christmas...

OK by me. Are we talking in two weeks? I've got a thing at 6 p.m. Saturday. I don't think I could run a superhero game by Saturday, but I could by Sunday, if anyone is interested in playing. Again, kind of a cross between Heroes/4400 and the Aberrant setting. So not really people in spandex...

I was hoping to make it, but I'm just going to be bed at 4 a.m. (worked until 2:30) I doubt I will be functioning that early. Sorry guys!

Well, I believe I am in the mid 70s or low 80s now. I had a 69 after I took my armor off!

I thought about trying to take Avoidance. I certainly have the Dex for it. Not the Dodge skill YET.

Please. I drink Hero Points like water.

I had a great time too. Thought it was a very exciting end to the story arc. Where do we go from here? I will admit to being a bit frustrated with my character and a bit let down that he wasn't in the thick of it at the end. Some characters just seem to have terrible luck and Thorm couldn't...

I'm good to play... Let's go kick some witch butt!

Thought this was interesting, ICv2 just came out with their new list of top RPGs... ICv2 Top Five RPGs 1. Dungeons & Dragons 2. World of Darkness 3. Exalted 4. Mutants & Masterminds 5. BESM BESM? How the heck did that get on the list? Read it here

Well, that's too bad! On the one hand, I'm glad I'm not going to miss it, but its sad that we can't get a game together.

And hey Mark, thanks for offering and I'm sorry you couldn't make it, 'cause I could have shown off the moderately clean Clark castle (and believe me, as bad as it might have been Saturday to normal eyes, for us that was damn near immaculate.) We ended up having enough folks, to whom I am...

Well, this is a busy month coming up. My dad wants to take my son fishing on a Saturday later in the month and I've really got to go with them (although I hate fishing, but riding around in a boat isn't so bad.) And I'm not sure if I can play this Saturday or not. I have three commitments (one...

Folks, thanks for volunteering. I expect that we will be back with the furniture by 1 p.m. on Sunday. Any help anyone can lend would be greatly appreciated. We live at the corner of 12th and Lafayette, a block directly north of Zwanzig's Pizza on 11th Street. It is the big yellow house on the...

I am starting to believe that combat in RPGs is always slow and time-consuming to some degree or another. I think the key is to a) keep the die rolls to a minimum and b) make the actual physical mechanics of the combat more abstract (i.e. the 5-foot-stepping and charges and retreats and all...

Hey guys. I had a great time on Saturday. It was nice to fight and kill some stuff without feeling totally outclassed. I'm curious as to where we go from here. And after the prodding from the Bob, I am going to finish Borat this evening. Perhaps my first impressions were unjust, but to...

Hey folks, My dad is giving us a new bedroom suite next weekend (March 23-25) and I really, desperately need some help lugging it up the stairs when we get it here in town. Is there anbody who could help us move furniture for an hour or so, say early Sunday afternoon?

I can't. I'm planning to take vacation a week before that to go to Washington DC with the family. And the other guy I work with is taking that week off.
