Everywhere You Look: My Review of the Full House Board Game
As you may have heard, Netflix has announced a reboot of the ground-breaking TV sitcom, Full House. Since that makes Full House kind of topical, and since my brain is fried and I can’t think of anything to write about, this seems like a good time to repost my review of the Full House board…
There Goes The Neighborhood
When we were working out how the songlines work in Hobomancer, we sort of unintentionally started playing with the idea of what you might call “the power of place.” Basically, the songlines are areas of especially strong magical energy, and that magic is fueled by the power of the stories. The railroads aren’t built along…
RPGaDay2015 Part 10 (#30-31)
Last two: 30. Favorite RPG playing celebrity. Colbert. 31. Favorite non-RPG thing to come out of RPGing. I’m torn between two answers, so I’ll give them both. The first is the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. It started shortly after I discovered D&D, and while I was still young enough to watch cartoons without it being…
RPGaDay Part 9 (#28-29)
I’m going to do two questions today and then finish up the last two on Monday. 28. Favorite Game You No Longer Play I’m going to assume that “game” here refers to specific game worlds rather than systems or genres, since the main differences between Deadlands and the weird west games I run using QAGS…
RPGaDay2015, Part 8 (#27)
Favorite idea for merging two games into one. M-Force meets World of Darkness. It’s not just that M-Force is about monster hunters and World of Darkness is about monsters, it’s that in a lot of ways M-Force is a response to some of the convoluted assumptions of most modern supernatural games, especially the idea that…
RPGaDay2015, Part 7 (#26)
Before I get into today’s question, I’ve got a new article up on HubPages called “Five RPG Characters To Watch Out For,” the topic of which should be obvious from the title. Give it a read, take the poll, comment, share it, like it, Tweet it, etc. 26. Favorite inspiration for your game. I get…
RPGaDay2015, Part 6 (24-25)
The next two questions are short answers, which means I’ll actually be up to date on the meme again. 24. Favorite House Rule The only house rule that I have these days is that anyone who quotes Monty Python out of context loses Yum Yums. We’ve all seen it, and you’re no John Cleese. Long,…
RPGaDay2015, Part 5 (22-23)
Continuing with #RPGaDay2015… 22. Favorite Gaming Environment Since the games I play usually don’t have a lot of moving parts, I’m not really picky about where I play. As long as there’s a place to sit and roll some dice, I’m good. My least favorite place to play games is a crowded convention center room…
RPGaDay2015 Part 4 (#18-21)
Today I’m going to answer 4 questions, which will bring me up to the question with a number that matches the current date. I’m then going to fall behind immediately by not posting on the weekend, but at least I’ll be completely on schedule for the meme for 24 hours. For 18-20, I’m going to…
