Over the holidays

Print
Hope everyone had a great christmas. Our gaming group got together last weekend and had our christmas party/gaming/getting drunk fest. It first started with me running down to the local liquor store to get some of my fav. beer. Hobgoblin ale, a import from jolly ol' england.

 
Then came the food. Our decision was not the typical holiday dinner. Chicago dog's it is!!
 
 
On to the gaming. As we head down into a dwarven mine to fine some mushrooms to help cure the dwarven king. Dam! We forgot to get some mushrooms for the dogs.
 
 
So after clearing out the first floor we made our way down to the lower levels. And yes it says "Lava" on the map. Hot Hot Hot!!!


All-in-all it was a great day. No one died (but my character most all of her hair from a well placed burning hands) but the 20's were everywhere. Think I rolled 4 nat.20's Not too bad.
 
Then for the gifts. This is my stash, "Red Dragon Inn 3" with the "Pooky" expansion (I have RDI 1 and 2), "The Dungeon Alphabet" by Goodman games and a old Marvel Super Heros module "Fault Line".
 
 
Well, thats all for now. Still working on that side project. A ant hill has turn into a mountain.
I hope everyone has a great new years and a happy 2013.

Man.....I feel old.

Print
Was crusing YouTube today and I came across these gems. I remember having one or two of these bad boys when I was a kid (don't remember which one thou). If you remember these, you are getting old, just like me (next thing you know you'll be looking forward to getting that AARP card in the mail).

My day at Gencon

Print
 Made my way down to Mecca over the weekend to pay omige to the Nerd Gods! Myself and a good friend just went down for one day. Not much planned except to spend some cash and meet some friends from a Canonfire (a Greyhawk webpage) at the Ram. The one thing I was looking forward to getting was the two expansion packs for The Red Dragon Inn, but they were sold-out by Sat. Stopped by the OSR both and meet Frank Mentzer. Very nice guy.

 Didn't bring much back, but here is the swag. Two OSR modules, got a couple magic cards, some new dice, Bolt Action core rule book and some Forgeworld 40k mini's. I spent more cash on my badge, buying breakfast, chipping in for gas, getting dinner and buying a crap load of drinks for people. But had a blast.

Had to step away from the computer........

Print
 So after 3 days of typing last weekend, I had to step away for a sec. Have had a military model diorama i've put off for some time now (about a year ago).The diorama depicts the 5th panzer div. on it's way to the Balkans in 1942. I had the Sd.kfz 223 armored car (on the road) and the Steyr RSO/1 (parked in the grass) tractor done. On monday got back to the project. Went to Wal-mart and got a $8 wooden picture fram for my base. Glued a peice of 1/4 ply-wood in the frame and so on. The diorama is FAR from done, but here is what I have done so far. Still have 3 more figures to put together and LOT'S of painting ahead. Took the pictures with my phone.






   Off to Gencon tomorrow to spend a crap-load of cash.

Imagine Magazine

Print

Was on ebay just the other day and came across someone selling a few copies of Imagine Magazine. I remember a local gaming store was selling used one's a LOOOONG time ago. I was just wondering if they are worth putting in a bid for them?

Burnt Out

Print
 I might need some help. As of late, I'm in that "Man.....I just don't want to anything but stair at the TV"
I just got done moving, work has been in overdrive, and so on. Work on my new project has almost come to complete stop.
 And to make things worse, our gaming group has stopped playing to take a break from gaming. My question is this: does anyone have a cure for the "I just don't want to do shit" mode i'm in?

Bounty Hunters

Print

Zombie's

Print
Just got done watching "The Walking Dead" tonight and was just wondering. What kind of zombie's do you run in your game? The Slow moving zombie's from the show and the movie's. Or the fast moving one's from "28 Days Later".
 1-The slow moving one's can be killed by a axe to the head, turned by the cleric and can be made from your local necromancer.
 2- The fast one's who are not "dead" but infected. Run very fast and cannot be turned (Surprise Mr. Cleric!).
 So what's your favoret ?

Good things happens when a refrigerator fall's on you?

Print
Well back in June of 2010, I just got done with FFG3 Spitting Image and was thinking of what to do next. My land lord ( who just passed away last Nov.) just went out and bought brand new double door refrigerator for the apartment I live in. Her handy man ( her 65 year old uncle) and I had to take both doors off to get this monster up the stairs.
 Half way up the stairs he lost his grip and, well....the fridge rolled right over me. After going to the hospital and finding out I now have 2 herniated disk's and a dislocated one. Thank goodness for my work has short term disability so I was able to get a pay check each week.
 With nothing to do for the foreseeable future, might as well start on my next project. One of my friends said why don't you try and sell one of your stories. I thought " not a bad idea, but just about everything has been done" as in location wise.
 So after 2 weeks of drug induced numbness, one of my favorite movies came on TV "Force 10 from Navarone" A world war 2 movie with a great cast ( Robert Shaw and Harrison Ford just to name a few). Then it clicked, A DAM! Dont think it's ever been done. Then it was all down hill. Everthing just rolled for the story, the plot's, the map's and so on. But then who to offer it too?
 My first thought was the nice people at Expeditious Retreat Press. So I sent a email off to Joseph Browning about my module. A couple days later they agreeded to buy my adventure.
 So I would like to thank Joseph Browning and Suzi Yee for publishing my idea. Here is my first published module, I hope you enjoy it!

The web is a buzzing!

Print


Well, most of you have heard by now that wotc is working on 5th edition. I've read allot of other blogs and theirs lots of complaining to stop, don't do it, re-tool it, and so on. Most posts or comments have been negative.

So what I want to hear is "What would you like to see in 5th edition?". "What would you like Wotc  to do?"
