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.
