Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Friday, June 14 started bright and early for me again as I had a 9 AM game. I was really looking forward to it because it was Fortress America, one of my favorite games. My hope was that I would play with some experienced players and get a good game in. That was not entirely what happened but it still was a very good game.
My second day at Origins – my first full day in truth has been a mixed bag, much like the day before. It started fairly early because we wanted to get a good breakfast before being there when the doors open for the dealers room/vendor hall. Before leaving for breakfast, however, I wanted to check out my tickets since I had not heard from Customer Service about them. It took a matter of 15 minutes to get my tickets, which they had to re-print, and cash in my generics for chips. A very good start to the day.

When a friend of mine, Heath Medlin, asked me to attend Origins with him, I jumped at the chance. We had attended GenCon together (with another friend, Neil Spicer) back in 2008 and that was one of my bucket list things to do. Attending Origins at least once was another one of those bucket list things.
New Approach to Fading Suns Psychic Paths When I started to make the conversions, I wanted to do a few things when I started work on supernatural side of things. Preserve some of the feel of the occult paths including the drawbacks. Limit them in such a way that they were not cookie cutter but…
I have always felt that Fading Suns settings is a setting desperate for a better rule set than the one it was stuck with. With all due respect to Bill Bridges and those that created the Victory point system, it simply does not work well. I tried the d20 version and that turned out to…
Basic Roleplaying: Rome, Life and Death of the Republic is a RPG Core Setting Rule Book from Alephtar Games. Rome is the longest enduring civilization in western European history and its influences, good and bad, are still felt today. Recent television shows like Rome and Spartacus have brought the brutality, sensuality and intrigue to life for us. It is no wonder that there is an attraction to role-play in that setting. I am by no means a Roman historian but this book seems to have backing of several learned individuals on the subject, so I trusted it to be historically accurate where it needed to be.
