Well, a couple of ebay purchases have come through, and I’m now the proud owner of T1-4, The Temple of Elemental Evil again. I’m extremely happy. (My first copy got left behind when I moved from Melbourne – I dare say one of my friends may own it now). I’m also now the owner of T1, The Village of Hommlet (Yes, I know its included … Continue reading D&D
This weekend was a good one for gaming. Friday night saw our regular Star Wars Dawn of Defiance game resume. I’ve written up a mostly inaccurate session report on RPG Geek of what occurred, so you can read that if you’ve a mind to. Saturday saw a bizarre board game day where most of my gaming done was 2-player, even though we had about 8 … Continue reading Games, games, games
I’ve just spent some of my lunch hour reading through Tim "Shroomy" Eagon’s just-published Dungeon Magazine adventure, "The Oasis of the Golden Peacock". Did I enjoy it? Yes, I did. What we have is a vaguely-Arabian Nights themed adventure (although, in this one, the beautiful princess seems to be kidnapping the scholar) with a number of really great links to the world of eladrin and the … Continue reading The Oasis of the Golden Peacock (preliminary review)

On Sunday, I stepped off a road into a land that was previously unexplored by me: the land of computer-aided gaming. That’s a great sentence. It’s not strictly true, either. I’ve been using computers for a very long time to prepare for my games (word-processors especially.) The sense in which I’m actually using “computer-aided gaming” is this: On Sunday, for the very first time, I … Continue reading Entering the world of Computer-Aided Gaming
Dark Sun. Boy, I didn’t pick that at all. Continue reading And the 2010 D&D setting is…
I like immortal characters. So did Roger Zelazny, and so that’s one reason I enjoy reading his work so much. Or perhaps, I enjoy Zelazny and his work has made me appreciate immortal characters. One of the two. I’ve read somewhere (probably something written by Steven Brust) that Zelazny liked writing about immortal characters because they’d lived long enough to do interesting things. So, when … Continue reading Immortals
I’ve just got an e-mail from MilSims: “Your order has been updated to the following status. “New status: Shipped” I have a warm, fuzzy feeling. Continue reading A good e-mail…
No Star Wars RPG last weekend, as the flu had hit Martin. I’m more than happy to not get infected, so Nathaniel and I went to the Friday night Magic booster draft at Good Games Ballarat. Alas, it wasn’t sanctioned (despite the 10 players), so my rating won’t have increased despite winning every round. (For those interested in such things, my current Limited rating is … Continue reading Weekend games
Well, I have my new computer. So, what have I been doing pretty much more than anything else with it? Well, that’s not a hard question to answer if you’ve been paying attention to my subject line: yes, I’ve been playing Magic Online. I hadn’t before. I think I played in one draft using Sarah’s account once, but mostly I’ve had to listen to my … Continue reading Magic Online
