Posted in Holy Crap! on January 27th, 2009 by DeadGod – Be the first to commentClassic lit + zombies = win in my book. Immediately makes me want to run a Savage Worlds or All Flesh game.

This past Sunday my game group, consisting of 5 level 5 PCs, was able to “best” a young black dragon, vanquish a powerful demon, and rescue a young boy from certain doom. However, they were left an ominous revelation that perhaps they have been inadvertently working for the very being they thought they were working against. read more »
RPGTM: Kingsburg
Posted in RPG Thought of the Moment on January 26th, 2009 by DeadGod – Be the first to commentOver the weekend I played a game of Kingsburg. I absolutely love the game. It is like a more concise Catan with some of the intrigue of the Cities and Knights expansion. Best of all, a game can be completed in an hour or two (compared to the marathon game of Catan + Cities and Knights can become.) But this article is not about the board game. It is instead about the campaign opportunity lurking in the game’s fluff.

International Traditional Gaming Week
Posted in Editorial, OD&D, Systems on January 21st, 2009 by DeadGod – Be the first to commentLast week marked the first International Traditional Gaming Week. This event was cooked up by TARGA(the Traditional Adventure Roleplaying Game Association.) I run a 4ed campaign for my regular gaming crew and I realized that many of them didn’t start gaming until later in their life, and thus joined the hobby circa 3ed or later. I talked a little to them about the concept of old-school gaming, sent them a link to the Quick Primer for Old School Gaming, and asked them if they would be interested in taking a weekend to try it out. The answer was a unanimous “yes.”
