OPEN GAME TABLE: The Anthology of Roleplaying Game Blogs

The RPG Blog Anthology is now available. I’d say it was a long time coming, but Jonathon over at The Core Mechanic put it together in what seems like a surprisingly short time given the work of wrangling so many contributers. Open Game Table is truly a “Best of” the RPG blogging community. An open call went out across many...

Update

Jenn began her D&D game (3.5) this past week. The setup is a human-centric post-dungeon society. There aren’t adventurers. The world is fairly peaceful under a single human mageocracy. Nonhuman races are marginalized. I’m playing a monk who is associated with the church of Saterus (official state religion). Other PCs include a wizard who is apprenticed to the Magistrate of...

What I’ve been up to. . .

I realize I haven’t been posting a lot of late. I’ve been pretty busy. Angela and I ran our first game session last night, a week earlier than we’d been planning. We had to cram a bit. I think it went well, even though I blanked on the FATE combat variant we were using halfway through the PCs’ first combat....

Year-end evaluation and thoughts for the future

I think that the release of 4e this year has knocked my blogging for a loop. I haven’t really posted much d20 OGC since then. I’m not sure of the relevancy of it any more. I feel like this blog’s mission, which has been fuzzy at its best, has become more scattered with time. With the upcoming new year, I’d...

Random Comment Table

1d121-3 | This is a cool idea for generating NPCs while defining the culture they come from… I don’t know that I’d use the card mechanic, but the bit with the suits is a useful way of thinking about an individual’s relationship to a cultural framework.4-5 | Saturday was Exalted. We chatted with a Deathlord and fought a Fair Folk...

Carnival time!

A couple of posts ago, I mentioned the RPG blog carnival. The idea? A number of blogs post on a single topic over a short period of time. It is something that tends to happen quasi-naturally. Someone will blog on a topic and it will give other people ideas. The carnival is a bit different in that (1) it is...

Joiner

I’m not so much a joiner, usually (I still don’t have a Facebook page, much less a ::shudder:: MySpace one), but I linked up with this here RPG Bloggers Network thingie. I even made a button for the blog:See? We’ll see what difference the PRG Bloggers Network makes. I suspect it will be nice for organizing things like the RPG...

The state of my gaming life

Gaming is entering another transitioning period. My Monday night group is currently playing in a postapocalyptic nWoD/Morrow Project game. I’ve had some frustrations with it, but we had a really good game last night. The dynamics of the game are interesting. We have far more firepower and better equipment than almost everyone we’ve encountered (and certainly everyone with whom we...

Filler

I realize that it has been a while since I last posted. Work has been eating my brain, and I haven’t been thinking too much about gaming stuff in the last week or so. I promise to post this week. Really. In the meantime, go check out this post of Ben’s at ars ludi. It gets to the core of...
