It also contains an adventure you can use him in, Crown of the […]

Gen Con Briefs: Wednesday
I don’t know how much I’ll be able to blog this year at Gen Con. I promised myself that I would not skip sleep to write so my posts will be Sporadic. Here’s a few highlight of Yesterday. I met Robin Laws at the O’Hare Chicago airport. We chatted about player types and motivation some […]

Review: “Adventurer’s Vault 2”

I would like to thank ChattyDM for giving me this opportunity to share my love for Mutant Future with you. I think it’s great that he is having guest posters […]
Inq. of the Week: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
I am going to subject you all to another question about what you’d like to see here, but focused on our immediate future. These answers will help us to determine where we should spend our time and energy at GenCon. While we already have a packed schedule (much of which I will lay out below), the effort we spend on write-ups of particular subjects will depend on what you, the audience want to see.
