I never was a big Cosmic Encounter fan, mainly because I only played the original game a couple of times, but it’s always interested me (if only because Richard Garfield mentioned it as one the inspirations of Magic).

The situation… the King of Amber, ruler of the one true world of which all others (including this one) are but Shadows, is dying. He has five children, but the problem is this: the birth order is confused. Some are illegitimate. All want the throne. With his death, chaos is unleashed.

For most of last week – pretty much Friday-Friday – I was ill with a rather annoying cold. It started as I was running the D&D games last week, and continued through last Friday afternoon/evening. By the end, the symptoms weren’t much but general tiredness and lethargy, but that’s not so good when I’m meant to be DMing.

Last weekend was fun. I met with several friends and played a lot of games. Paradise! The weekend began on Friday afternoon withthe Living Greyhawk adventure War of the Dust. The adventure involved wilderness adventuring, dungeon-crawling, some role-playing, and a bunch of combat. My players love the combat part. What really distinguished this adventure from the others were the way that the terrain played a … Continue reading A weekend of gaming

Well, another Sunday has come and gone. The regular gang got together for the continuing adventures of our Greyhawk game, and we also got in a few board games. In fact, we had a few games of Magic; and two games of Settlers of Catan – including the Cities and Knights expansion that I’ve only bought a couple of weeks ago. The board games were … Continue reading Sunday’s game session
