Here we go: REVERB GAMERS 2012, #1: What was your first roleplaying experience? Who introduced you to it? How did that introduction shape the gamer you’ve become? (Courtesy of Atlas Games. Visit their web site at www.atlas-games.com) I was first introduced to gaming by Troy Haney, the only other kid other than my brother in…
Here’s another Actual Play write-up from Woody at FAST. This one tells the tale of Colin’s HappilyEverAfter game at Archon 2010. (As told by Ms. Muffet) It was just another day in HappilyEverAfter, the city that puts the “sin” in fascination. You could survive if you knew how to play the game; the penalty for…

Even though the Hex staff is spread out from Nashville to Toledo, we do occasionally manage to get together and play games outside of conventions.

Lately, several members of the Hex staff have been discovering or re-discovering classic pulp sci-fi and fantasy. I picked up a big ass book of Conan stories a few months ago and have been slowly making my way through it; a few of the others have read or re-read the John Carter of Mars books…
Although some of our Ohio folks have already been to BashCon this year, the con season really kicked off this past weekend, with the Hex staff attending not one but two conventions.

This year’s GenCon, which most Death Cookie readers know is the world’s biggest (non-computer) gaming convention, was held August 13-17 in downtown Indianapolis. As you’d probably expect, a few members of the Hex staff made our way to the land of Johnny Cougar for a few days of game demos and shameless self-promotion. In addition…
