Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Online collectible wargame Seven Lights, LLC GenCon 2008 gave me the opportunity and the pleasure of meeting the fine people of Seven Lights, LLC and seeing their new game, The Continuum. It is a game that combines the concepts of an online game and a collectible miniature game and adds in some options that you…
After a two year campaign using Fading Suns d20, I have to say that I am happy and disappointed at the same time. I still love the campaign world, but without a doubt, this version of d20 is not the way to go. I tried to make it work but in the end things just…
The last session was supposed to be the end but it ran long, so we’re going to close it out on August 30th at Chris F’s place.

Between all the work I have done in the LARPs and the table tops I have tried to link to the LARPs, things have develop into a potential campaign. Adventure 1 – An adventure I…
Catacombs on Pyre Fading Suns Campaign Session at my place around noon. We’ll have a cookout dinner afterwards. This should be the finale of this whole campaign. The group has found itself in a huge facility called the Monastery of St Lauticus – the end of the Enigmus Collection. They now know what the Master…
OK, the big reveal is over. They made it to earth and it is a nuclear slag heap. Or IS it Earth? That’s the big question. On the bright side, at least it is not Earth in the 1980s. There is very little to analyze but I would say that this is not really Earth….
There was a scene in National Treasure 2 that really tweaked my historical and political sensibilities. I do not think anyone else would notice unless they were a student of history and federalism as our founding fathers intended.
