Like everyone else, I’ve been out of pocket for the holidays. But I’m back, and more gaming goodness is coming your way soon!
First, our gaming group will be running a short Savage Worlds campaign. One of our members (Bruce, our session scribe and Valash Not-Gurelle from our Curse of the Crimson Throne game) is having to travel on business most of the next couple months. As a result, weeks when he’s not in town you will not get a Crimson Throne session summary, but instead a “Empire of Ashes” summary, powered by Savage Worlds and run by Chuck. Exciting!
Second, I’m excited about the new RPG Superstar 2009 contest being held by Paizo, and I’ll be reporting on this year’s as I did on last year’s! And I’ve entered Round One with a wondrous item – let’s see how that goes.
Third, I’ve been reading a lot lately, and my curse from being a RPG geek for so long is that I always try to apply what I read to gaming, from the gaming-ready plots of World War Z to the world-building advice of Guns, Germs, and Steel… So I’m going to start installments of Books and Gaming (needs a better title). May as well fill the gap – AD&D 1e had a while bibliography of suggested reading. This has given way to “filmographies” for more recent games, or even “watch the TV show I’m based on” – or now with D&D 4e, whose inspiration is simply “touching myself while gold farming in World of Warcraft.”
Happy 2009 to all!
