Nationals update

The Nationals has moved from late April to July. Dead By Dawn has also moved from that same weekend in late April to November. So I could now go to the Nationals if it still needs GMs, though the rescheduling may affect the numbers.

Final Destination at twenty

A look back at twenty years of Final Destination and how it could have been even grimmer.

(Fun fact: I once ran a Final Destination PBP, and remain proud of the second death, with a gravestone falling off the back of the masons’ truck at the funeral for the first, gaining momentum as it tumbled downhill... For a while there, “runaway gravestone” was a Googlewhack.)

ScaledCon

Come Conpulsion weekend, ScaledCon, an online event organised by some CP veterans. Details to follow.

This Time It’s Wargame

The influence of Aliens on computer and video games. Though I’d stress that the comparative lack of influence of Alien is in part due to the comparative lack of games! But yeah. I mean, I’ve played DOOM.

Looking forward

Staying home, thinking ahead to games for summer.

I’d like to re-up my recent Buffy game if possible, and also do something with some regulars.

I want to actively roll some dice with Trinity.

I have various Star Wars related thoughts, though I may leave that till after The High Republic setting arrives and do something with that.

There be always the Vampire family and other flavours of Darkness.

Lockdown

Do what you can.

An argument for fudging rolls

Gail Simone is running a Comics School writing workshop on Twitter. Among other nice things, some of these pitches would make great adventure hooks!

Worldbuilding

I just created a record shop for an RPG and called it Vinyl Destination.

I am not ashamed.

(Of course now I check there are at least three real ones.)

Edit: this is apparently a big hit, with people on Twitter and Facebook planning to steal it. Fame at last!
