GenCon Schedule!

Si says hello.

So, for those who would like to find me at GenCon, I'll be working at the IGDN booth most of the time, which is Booth #1539. Come by and say hello!

In addition, I'll be on two panels:

How to Learn RPG Design: Friday August 15th at 4PM-5PM, Crowne Plaza Union Station in room Pennsylvania Station C.

Looking to get into designing RPGs? Curious about what you need to know? This panel will help you get started! Join Jason Pitre and other Independent Game Design Network members to talk about learning what you need to know to work on RPGs!

 GMing as Women: Saturday August 16, 10am-11am, in the Crowne Plaza Union Station in room Pennsylvania Station C.

Are you a woman? Do you GM or are you thinking about doing so? This panel of women GMs will answer your questions and help you get a handle on how to deal with GMing challenges, large and small. Come on down!

Please note that both panels are currently sold out, so that means that standing room/sitting on the floor might be a thing. I'm so excited!

See you there!

Timewatch: Session Five

-
Leaving last session's dinner party, the group heads back to the Citadel for a quick regroup and identity change before leaping forward in time. They return to London in May 1930 at a swanky party that HRH Prince Edward is attending, where in theory he meets Wallis and her then-husband, Ernest Simpson.  Caroline and Jason keep the same personas, and thus are recognized by the people they met at the weekend in the country. Freda in particular seems very interested in Caroline and invites her to stay at her house, determined to find her a suitable husband and keep her around. Caroline, who is likewise interested in Freda, maintains her cool, keeping the conversation open.  Solomon acts as a photographer at the party, documenting and seeing how the crowd interacts. He's the observer, looking for things that might be out of place.  Micah's persona is very much himself, but as a captain after the WWI who stayed in England. He's a fish out of water a bit, but can p

Timewatch, Session Four.

So after a significant RL hiatus, we picked up at the dinner party, reconvening after tea and rest to embark on the dinner portion of the evening. Things that were learned: 1) Prince Edward is bored and has a roving eye for married women. His relationship with Freda Dudley Howe is waning, and he's getting interested in Lady Thelma Furness. This is as it should be in 1930. 2) Prince Edward thinks that war is awful and should be avoided at any cost. He also thinks he has something to offer England and that the king should be thoroughly in charge, with a lot more power than his father chooses to wield. Also, he really likes Germany. 3) No one has heard of Wallis Simpson. She should be living in London about now with her husband Ernest. and they should meet Prince Edward in a few months at a party in town. 4) None of the women except Lady Anastasia, Lord Mountbatten's wife, seem to have any real affection for their husbands, and Anastasia is much more focused on her life as

Rising Waters DFA Playtest: Character Conversion!

Mock-up cover, courtesy Evil Hat Productions Woo hoo! So my group and I were fortunate enough to get into the Dresden Files Accelerated Beta Playtest , which has been a complete blast. Rather than making characters from scratch, we converted the characters from our ongoing game into DFA characters last session.  Before I go into what we ended doing this evening, though, I want to talk a bit about the playtest and the effects the change in system have had. So, to no one's surprise, DFA is based on FAE ( Fate Accelerated Edition ). For those who've played the Dresden Files RPG , you'll know that it's FATE plus some clunkier bits as it tries to encompass the magic and setting and variety of critter abilities within one game. I love the game, don't get me wrong, but it's definitely not the most streamlined system in existence. The magic system in particular was far more complicated in practice than was convenient, and using it always slowed the game down f
