Summer is Fading The long summer is drawing to a close. House Callan, sworn vassal of House Starke, is busy preparing for the hardship of the long winter to come. Nestled between the Wolfswood and the Bay of Ice, life is not easy, and there is little margin for error. But the harvest has been...

The fifth semi-annual National Capital Area Gameday will be held on 24 and 25 October on the 4th floor of the AFT building, at the corner of New Jersey Ave and F St NW (555 New Jersey Ave, N.W., Washington DC, 20001), two blocks from the Union Station stop on Metro’s Red Line. Yes, that's...

Removing the granular tactical combat from 4e would rob it of the only thing I really like about it.

Those are too distracting and immersion-breaking for my tastes, but they do look like they'd be useful. I really like the AleaTools markers. You may want to consider assigning each player a color (and the DM a couple) and tagging by player rather than effect. It requires fewer distinct...

It's all in how it's done. If I were running a game that had been successful/popular in the past, and a bunch of people told me something like "I always looked forward to playing this, but I really don't care for 4e," or "This would be awesome with something like Pathfinder" that's just...

GenCon is several kinds of awesome just for the EN folk that go. I hardly play in official games anymore, and maybe spent 4 hours in the dealer hall total (and that includes 2 hours working the ENnies booth). The friends I've made going to GenCon the past four years make each one better and...

I'm sure he has his own inflatable things to sleep with.

Think the Giants game isn't until 4, and the DC contingent will be on the road by then.

:what: 11pm was fine for me and JC!

Ruiner.

Primarily through Destiny point differential; younger characters have a larger Destiny point pool, reflecting that their future is wide-open. Conversely, older characters have fewer, as they've used up some of their luck surviving to old age. In practice, younger characters will tend to be...

Maybe not the best -- too many products and too much variety for me to pick the best -- but probably my favorite. The one that most made me go 'ooh, I want to play with this'. A really nice blend of the tactical and crunchy with still some heroic and narrative bits thrown in. Unified...

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to do this with Dread.

Awesome time. Great to see some old friends and make some new ones. Special thanks to Piratecat for not only hosting the gameday but giving me a place to sleep and showing me around Boston today. A fantastic trip all around, despite the inauspicious beginnings.

Congrats on the nom, and I'm glad to hear it's had a beneficial effect. Want me to bring with me it tonight?

You promised me some puppy time....

Star Wars was a ten times more fun as a setting when you didn't have Jedi breeding like rabbits, and a thousand times more interesting before the Sith became common.

Not until dinner time. But I don't think it's hitting retail until the first week in September.

It was gone in the first 10 minutes Thursday morning. :mad:
