 February 8, 2011 - 9:32pm | I got to play Star Frontiers with my kids tonight (first session in many months). They finally made it out of the caves on Volturnus. You can read the game report on my Star Frontiers Lives On blog. There will probably be more soon as they've been bitten by the RPG bug (one of my twins has been running a little RPG game he made up with monsters and pokemon. He sets up maps, has monsters attack, gives out quests, etc. The rules are fairly arbitrary but you just go with the flow and it's fun to watch them.) Our next session will be a fantasy session to appease my 14 year old (she would much rather play her wizard) but then we'll be back to SF. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 May 9, 2011 - 10:41am | Any chance you guys record a video or podcast? |
May 10, 2011 - 11:20am | Hey w00t. Unfortunately, for the most part, though I audio record all my games now, they are not really available online. At least not the games I play in. I do have a place online that was generously leant me by one of the Pen & Paper guys and I've placed several of the games I've run there (INCLUDING STAR FRONTIERS!). The other audio games are on my computer and might (might) someday end up on the site as well, though downloading them takes a lot of time and slows my computer down drastically. However, I have posted the games I've run there in the last ... wow ... two years. I'm downloading the Stormbringer game I ran Saturday there right now and it should be complete by 2:45 p.m. EST. Here's the site: http://www.zanysite.com/maxwriter/ I ran the Stormbringer RPG Saturday to playtest it for a review. Good times. The journal entry can be found in four parts on my MySpace blog, a single part at Pen & Paper games, or as a single part in my FaceBook notes.
