Campaign Pitches
I am just starting an contemporary urban fantasy campaign called The FATE of Magical Boston; so, I have no idea why I spent time creating a document that will not be used for at least six or so months - and will most certainly change in the interim. My only excuse is that I like thinking up possible campaigns ... Some of the pitches do not have a ( Read more... ) -
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Joss Whedon just released the first of three parts of his crazy Internet musical, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
The website has been slammed and I cannot get it to load. Supposedly, they are working on fixing it. You can find it on iTunes as well.
The story centers on a low-rent supervillain (Neil Patrick Harris), the hero who keeps beating him ( Read more... ) -
Hellboy
I have been on a bit of a kick reading Mike Mignola's Hellboy series. I just recently read: The Hellboy Companion, Hellboy: Volume 1: Seed of Destruction, Hellboy: Volume 2: Wake the Devil, B.P.R.D.: Volume 1: Hollow Earth and Other Stories (B.P.R.D. = Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense), and the one-shot comic, B.P.R.D.: The Ectoplasmic Man ( Read more... ) -

Unfortunately, it is unknown whether John Hancock, as the elected President of the Second Continental Congress, or anyone else signed the document that ( Read more... ) -
The Magic Burner
It turns out the Secret Summer Surprise from the Burning Wheel crew is the Magic Burner. I really could have used it in the last Burning Wheel campaign I ran! I ordered it and the very cool limited edition t-shirt. Both will not arrive until the middle of August - which, oddly enough, is perfect. It will give me time to start my new FATE campaign ( Read more... ) -

D&D 4th Edition
Well, the MONSTER of tabletop role-playing games has released a new edition. I almost bought the slip-cover edition with all three volumes (PHB, DMG, MM) from Amazon but, I held off. Why? I was not a big fan of D&D 3.5. I played it and enjoyed myself. The enjoyment had more to do with the company (fellow players - not WotC) than with the game! I am ( Read more... ) -
Erick Wujcik, Game Designer Extraordinaire, RIP
Erick Wujcik died of cancer on Saturday, 7 June 2008. He was 57 years old.

I ran a lot of TMNT ( Read more... )
