Oh, yeah. There was some serious involvement with U-W gamers, and before MSG, I think Dragonflight had game days on the UW campus... But I was just a kid for most of that. I didn't get super involved in the convention until... '96. When I was almost 30... so... super old. :p

My Synnibar story (Though I am not sure it was a Raven story.) My memory of the times may be off, as it all blurs together, but I recall this being pretty early on. I think it was... '83? I was at Dragonflight, at Seattle University, I was pretty young, 14 - 16, I think. I was looking at the...

I resisted electronic for a long time past when others started adopting it. The reasons are stupid now. But the point is I've only really been doing electronic for about 10 years, and I still prefer paper when I can. Aw, jeez...

The 70s TV Serial right? Is Best Screen Adaptation. But the radio plays are still my favorite version.

This Lustin JaNasa guy needs a diagnosis from seven or eight serious mental health professionals.

I've discussed elsewhere how my dad bought the blue box for a friend's 12th, and how that started thing off. But for my 13th birthday, my mom took me to the toy shop. I browsed and browsed, and finally saw Gamma World. My first RPG. Years later, I may play other things. I many like other games...

I named mine a few years back "The Deadbeats." That was just the nickname of their unit.

I know this is a bit off topic and I don't want to spoil anything, but

Players always use OOC knowledge. :p DM could make secret saves. Or wait until every partakes, or a reasonable bit of time lapses. As for the players, letting the phrase "saving throw" alter your decision isn't great, but I've seen it more than I haven't. For that reason I often use one of the...

This is very cool, but my eyes keep getting pulled to "Personal Affects." I feel a deep, visceral need to fix it.

Back in the 90s, I wrote for a small local 'zine. Its emphasis was "Horror and Weird." My main thing was reviews, and I reviews a lot of things, some cool, some awful, some lame derivative ripoffs... and then there was Everway. Having heard there was a "Collectible Card RPG" (it's not and...

Get rid of everything that does not bring you joy. Seriously. Now... you have to honestly and thoughtfully weigh every factor and decide what brings joy. For me, About 14-15 years ago I decided I didn't want a "collection" of games. I decided I wanted a working library of games. Would I...

As a player, I can think of a couple that still sting. A game of Aberrant where I spent ages making a person, not just a collections of dots in stuff. Lasted one session, with one prelud-ey side session. A game of Exalted, But What If Modern, where I again spent ages making the character and...

GUMSHOE never clicked with me as a System, but I adore the grid from Mutant City Blues for choosing power, following the web of connected abilities.

I had a player of a CN character "randomly" decide to kill the party in their sleep. She was an unpleasant, controlling person and I wasn't having any of it so she thought she'd ruing everyone's fun because she was THAT person. "Everyone, the next morning you find Stabby McStabface has died. In...

Has anyone yet commented on the very concept of a bank calling anyone else out for destroying good will? Nevermind the Bank of (Screwing over everyone in) America? I mean, yeah... WotC deserved to the called out for that nonsense. But... a bank? Really? Edit: I see they have. :p
