November 30, 2011 - 3:40pm | I ran Behind Enemy Lines for a group in High Point, NC, Monday night. It went pretty well. Journal entries can be found online at MySpace (parts 1-3) or Pen & Paper Games (single entry).

January 3, 2012 - 1:37pm | On March 8, 2008, I ran a game to memorialize Gary Gygax. We played Advanced Dungeons and Dragons; I ran the Keep on the Borderlands. A chair was set aside for Gary at the head of the table. We toasted him with scotch after that game. The man has touched so many lives. I've only now gotten around to fixing it so it can be online.

 January 4, 2012 - 5:58am | My favorite stories about Gary are from people who wrote him as a kid and the content of the letter was about what you'd expect from a twelve or thirteen year old but Gary took the time to write back personally. He could have been a real ass of a human being but still a good game designer and he wasn't. He was a genuine human being that took the time to write fans and mentor people that he hired. I'm sure he had his faults but I admire him for this one quality about him. Its 8:00am this morning and I raise my cup of coffee to his memory and whisper a quiet prayer that I might emulate his example more in my life. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 7, 2012 - 10:55am | I finally ran the conclusion to the Aliens Adventure Game scenario Forced Entry (which I originally started in July 2010!).
