Thinking about my "Mage: The Ascension Job" Leverage/Mage hack. Already run twice.

First, Durn, glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure I've convinced anyone else to try this particular implementation out yet, but I'm definitely going to be using it going forward. The 5x5 method, on the other hand, has been used by a number of GMs now, and your example looks pretty good. The crux of...

Sounds awesome. I've been in two games where the players named their felinoids "Chairman Meow." Cat-astrophy is a great alternative.

Went looking for information about this upcoming "3rd edition" of Dungeons & Dragons that had been announced, found Eric Noah's site (probably through Usenet or at a convention), started going there regularly up through the release. Probably the only time I had a regular subscription to print...

Check out 4e Turn Tracker: http://4eturntracker.com/ I downloaded it for my MacBook and it seems to have a lot of features I was looking for, including 2nd monitor support. I haven't tried it in game yet though.

In '09, there ended up being some shuffling of products from what was announced at Gen Con to the announcements at DDXP (that ended up being the actual schedule.) Gen Con '09: GenCon 2009: 4e Extravaganza (with Photos) : Critical Hits DDXP '10: Critical Bits for the week ending 2010-01-31 ...

This year has been pretty great for RPGs, no matter your preferences. My top picks have been: Fiasco, Gamma World (& Famine in Far-Go), Dark Sun Campaign Guide, Demonomicon, MM3, Monster Vault, Rules Compendium (those 4 books alone are powering my 4e campaign right now), Leverage RPG...

Spot on, as always Merric. The thing about bad PR is that once you've damaged it enough, you completely lose your buffer, and you just start to lose fans. And for something like an RPG, it becomes impossible to separate the game itself from all the ugliness around it.

I'm strongly considering making my game Essentials + Psionic classes. They all pretty much work on their own class subsystems anyway. (I'm also considering doing some kind of "char gen points" system that strongly encourage Essentials characters but don't outright ban it if someone wants to...

Rich Baker, actually. But according to his twitter feed, Keith does approve of it. :)

I ran it yesterday morning during DC Game Day. Had an awesome time, even though 5 out of the 6 players didn't know what they were in for, and 2 hadn't played 4e before. I managed to get my hands on the PAX preview adventure, which was great. The whole thing ended in a TPK, though they succeeded...

There's nothing in the GMing section about different tones, though really, it kind of depends on how serious you could make a game about telekinetic cockroaches. Beyond that, if you wanted to run something serious, you'd probably have to ignore alpha mutations too.

Haven't yet, plan to in epic tier in two levels and for my next campaign (Dark Sun.)

I'll bring my Fiasco kit and all the Parsley (Action Castle! and such) adventures I own. I could also bring a board game or two just to be sure everyone has something to do :)

And that looks to be full to capacity!

Can you add me as an alt in case my other game falls through and you have a spot? Thanks!

Dang, I'd love to try ToC but both my PM slots are already spoken for. Such is the way with game days, I suppose. If there's any chance of an AM slot game, I'd be there for sure.

Parties, sex, drugs, booze, studying... and a touch of the weird. In a well-regarded “public ivy” university, secluded away where most students are not allowed cars and there are no commuters, students and faculty have the same problems as anyone at college. Only, there might be a strange house...
