Well it’s done. I registered for Gen Con and I booked the Hotel. I’ll be staying at the swanky Omni Severin hotel which, apparently, sits about 0,2 miles from the Convention Center. Wee! It’s going to be my 1st stay in Indianapolis and my 1st Gen Con experience. I’ll stock up on sleep beforehand! Here’s […]

This is a continuing series of short posts on Paizo’s Pathfinder adventure path magazine. The image is Copyright 2007 Paizo Publishings. Yeah I haven’t done one of those in quite some time (Dec 7 to be more precise) for a very good reason, I never got my #4 issue of Pathfinder (written by none other […]
Chatty’s Review: Alex Robinson Lower Region’s

One of his key challenges was that everybody in his large group (8 players) wanted to play a different style/theme than the rest. D&D was chosen last time because it’s the default game that his group seems to have agreed to. […]
