I'm psyched. Monday night I bought myself an Honda Metropolitan scooter, so I'm going to scoot my way up to Games Plus on Saturday. <a href="http://omokage.com/blog/archives/images/metro01_sm.jpg">A photo</a>

Looks like I'm too late to sign up for Mark's games. . . lets see what else is open . . . hmm . . . well there's Breakfast. Sign me up for that please. and, um . . . Played Whispering Woodwind, can't do that one . . . um the D20 Modern Game looks good, and that seems to be the only other...

Sorry to announce that I won't be making it this Saturday. We're taking advantage of my long weekend (President's Day is a bank holiday) and going out of town to Lansing, MI to visit Dee's friends and introduce them to the baby. Have a good time all.

heya Mark. As per your instructions, sign me up tentatively for your morning game and breakfast. I think the Mrs will let me out for at least the morning.

mapquest.com has arial photos of major cities.

One option I haven't heard about in regards to d20M classes is that you could easily start your PCs with a few levels in a few base classes and start adventuring with an Advanced Class. This would capture a more "heroic" feel and open up some pretty exciting early games.

I've had nothing but good experiences meeting the ENish folk. The magic that is the Chicago Gameday and Mark's great tours of the city have given me the honor of meeting such folks as Kevin, Mark, Eric, Russel, Al, William, Matt (a few of you), Pat, Art, Ben, Josh, and Kent, just to name the...

adding to that, even though "everyone" gets 2 feats at 1st level, if you're playing a non-human character, such as a Moreau (animal/human hybrids, à la The Island of Dr. Moreau), it is explicitly stated in the template/race that such a character gets one less feat at first level, thus preserving...

I don't use an alarm clock to wake myself. I pretty much wake at the same time every day, if I go to bed at the same time every night. However, I find that when I go to bed an hour earlier than usual, I actually end up waking an hour late. I don't know if this has something to do with sleep...

those halflings are quick little buggers, eh?

I couldn't imagine life without dreaming. I don't think I'd be a buyer.

jmucchiello, your points are exactly the sort of things that I was suggesting mythusmage should explore. I wasn't trying to define RPGs myself, just pointing mythusmage in an important direction. The word itself needs to be analyzed in order to define the term in its entirety. What makes RPGs...

because that's not defining a Roleplaying Game, that's just rearranging the words. There's a word for using the term itself to define the term, but I don't remember what it is. But Clay, Thanee and jmucchiello force me to address an interesting point. In order to define Roleplaying Games, you...

Japanese omokage - shadow face, mental image, projection, memory traces, lingering image, shadow of one's former self, etc. just had to plug myself in this thread . . . it was so easy.

The Museum of Broadcast Communications (http://www.museum.tv/) is located within the Chicago Cultural Center (http://www.ci.chi.il.us/Tourism/CulturalCenter/) at 78 E Washington St

Actually, I find Chicago Comics, 3244 N Clark (a couple blocks north of Belmont) to have a much larger selection than Graham Crackers. Quimby's, their sister store at 1854 W. North Ave is also a geek's book heaven.

I highly suggest picking up a Visitors Pass for the CTA train/bus system. This is the cheapest way to get around town. Our transit system is one of the best in the world. from the transitchicago.com site: Visitor Passes (1-Day, 2-Day, 3-Day and 5-Day): Purchase passes by calling 1-888-YOUR-CTA...

I took on way too many things this month, so unfortunately finishing up the adventure I agreed to run took a back seat. I won't be able to run A Band Reunion on Saturday, but if my players would still like me to run something, I can run a canned adventure. I'm posting this here for Mark to...
