As a Brit, I intend to prepare for it by doing nothing. :) My main interest is in the movie trailers that get released on the internet the following few days. Hoping for a new Kick-Ass trailer.

Just booked my four-day ticket on the GenCon site. I am unfeasibly excited by this, plus, it was less than I was expecting really. $80 seems like a good deal, although I know I have to pay for the events still. :) Hopefully, what with a number of free ENWorld games, plus some time in the Trade...

Solium Infernum is a turn-based play-by-email game that came out last year, in which each player attempts to fill the vacant Throne of Hell by devious manipulation, terror and warfare. I've been reading a fantastic account of a game at Gameboys From Hell: Solium Infernum Part 1 | Rock, Paper...

I would suspect it happens on every message board, to a greater or lesser extent. Some people are just nasty and manipulative. I had some lovely news from work today - I got a raise!

Had a funky weekend. Went out for a "few beers" on Friday that ended up being "lots of beers". Got up on stage at Bandaoke and did Parklife by Blur, and the singer in the band reckoned it was one of the best versions he'd done! *glee* Yesterday I met up with some friends and saw Chicago in the...

If I said Robin D. Laws writes a lot of Pelgrane's stuff, would that help? They're an awesome games company who write awesome games, and I like them a lot.

I was going to post that also, having read the article this morning. I'm coming to the conclusion that 4e is not quite swingy enough for me, unfortunately. However, this is a matter for house-rules rather than edition change. I suspect that "half-hit points, +level damage" or similar will solve...

*cough*Me not also addicted to Facebook*cough* I got a PM today from Simon Rogers of Pelgrane Press, offering me support and publicity for my Esoterrorists game and GenCon. Awesome! Pelgrane are now officially rocking rocky McRockworths of the gaming world, IMHO. Another Pelgrane person is...

My suggestion is +1d20 damage on criticals for all players and monsters.

"Children" would have been the obvious choice. "Trainees", "Padawans", "Kids", "Youths"... the list goes on.

Evening! I watched Star Wars episode 3 today, and once again (and in my own, optimistic way) I was reminded that it's actually way better than people want to remember it as. True, it has some bad stuff, but some of the lightsabre battles are good fun, and I honestly don't think Anakin is that...

That's what I was thinking. I reckon #700 will be a big step forwards - it's been kind of quiet recently in terms of plot and it needs a kick-start.

I played in a Norse-themed game as a Warforged Cleric of Kord. Full details are in the Swordlands Story Hour, below, but here's the summary of what we were doing with Warforged and Ghulra: Each Warforged has a unique Ghulra on their forehead, that indicates their name to those who can read...

Drop in on GenCon and you can join Piratecat playing in my Esoterrorists game. :)

Well now I've got to run it! It'll be fantastic to finally meet you, Piratecat, as randomling told me about how much fun she had when she came over. I'll make you a deal - I'll hold a space in my Esoterrorists game if you can hold a space for me in something of yours! In answer to Turtlejay...

Last night I went for a few drinks with work colleagues and ended up singing on stage with a live band doing Robbie Williams "Let Me Entertain You". It's called Bandaoke, and it's AWESOME. What was even better was that afterwards, someone came up to me who I didn't know and told me it was...

Good advice, thank you! Tuesday evening sounds great to me - I hope I can make it to something. And pubs are always something that's welcome. :) This weekend is my free time to work through all this stuff and look at what's available, make up some sort of timetable and get sorted out.

Comfy shoes noted. Thinking of getting a new pair closer to the time but wearing-them-in for a couple of weeks before I go. I'll do that then. Hopefully the attraction of one of those strange people from across the Pond will ensure I get players. :)

Any version! :) Probably the newer one, as I've heard the newer editions have more stable instruments.

When I get my Xbox, I am SO getting Rock Band.
