Draconis Day#1: Swords & Wizardry
Sorry I couldn’t manage to do 5 Capsule Review, Con prep took a little longer than expected.
Last night’s game of S&W was as awesome, hilarious and fun as I expected it to be. I ran Chgowiz’s exceedingly well designed adventure from the Quick-Start kit. Instead of giving you the play by play, I’ll repost the Twitter accounts of two of the players.
In usual Twitter fashion, please start at the bottom

There you have it, a crazy fun game… even though I ended up killing 7 PCs over 6 players.
As my youngest player would have said: “Shiny!”
Expect something similar for today’s 4e game.
See you all later, I’m leaving my laptop at home so I can focus on playing… may sneak in iTouch to follow comments and Twitter feeds.

A renowned RPG blogger, game designer and published author, he squats a corner of Critical Hits he affectionately calls "Musings of the Chatty DM." (Email Phil or follow him on Twitter.)

By which I assume you mean twitter posts, not 7 PC deaths. If you managed that, your adjective would not be “Chatty”

Of course, like at Gen Con, the Hotel’s Wifi went on the Fritz and I barely squeezed a few twitters using the Hotel’s Business centre. I’ll try to write a few Lessons from the Con posts this week.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d still love to see a Mouse Guard review
I’ll do one for sure. A capsule one at the very least and quite possibly a game report once I play it with my buddies at our Monthly geekout.
