I'm planning on being available tonight, although I won't be able to attend next week due to travel.

I'll be there.

I had a great time, PW. The session felt like a good tutorial for how things play out, so we'll be more ready for the big fights to come. As for scheduling, I don't mind sticking with Deadlands for...

What LowKey said :D

I've long held that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a take on The Odyssey. It's not an exact fit, mind you (I don't recall Odysseus hunting down suitors in a crack palace), but most of the game's...

Sorry, fellows, but I've come down with an awful sinus infection, and the thought of talking for three hours sounds dreadful. Could someone else run a game instead?

Looking back, it was a strange hybrid of CSI and Scooby Doo, part of which was due to poor time management on my part (sorry for going over time!). You guys did a terrific job of casing the scene,...

Glad to hear you'll make it after all, palindrome! Sorry, Screwie, but you won't get the extra d6 until you're level 3 (same for LowKey's magic missile). It goes 1-2: 1d6; 3-4: 2d6; 5-6: 3d6; 7-8:...

That's right, come for the social gaming, but stay for the menagerie of bizarrely voiced NPCs. Glad everyone had a good time!

Mission 1: Expedition to the Murky Cavern

The team was tasked with...

No worries, Screwie - thanks for the update. That sounds like a rough schedule!

Good points there. It seems more a matter of "how can the field be made more appealing to women" rather than "HIRE MOAR WOMENS."

I completely agree with your last two lines. However, NDen's post commits the same missteps that it complains about: sweeping generalizations about the market and nature, making an emotional appeal,...

To be specific, the belligerence is directed at the event planners who make the decisions to hire the scantily clad women. Entertainers are welcome to make a living; the venue choice is what gets...

I find it amusing that KandonArc and Cranch are defending a poster who used the line "I am reminded of Sharia law."

Very true, but the point of front-page commenting is to capitalize on the immediacy. Going to the forums requires further effort - finding the right forum, finding if there is an existing thread,...

Really? People feel betrayed when comments are disabled? Comment threads are so formulaic most of the time, and only a fraction of the posts are committed to furthering discussion (rather than...

Hullo, folks - sorry to hear you won't be able to attend this week, palindrome. When you return, you'll have the same level and wealth as the others, no worries. Everyone else, I'll see you Sunday...

@ SirKicksalot

Perhaps as a robotics theory in regards to human-machine interactions, but it has validity as an aesthetic factor. Still life and portraiture, genres that typically value...

That's not realism, that's simulacrum. The issue with "showing more" is that it challenges the human eye to become hypercritical of the image, rejecting any inconsistancies it finds (the uncanny...

I saw Hecker's video as a critique of the disconnect between the technical design of videogames and the creative design. So much time and money is poured into increasing visual fidelity and...

I have friends who refuse to see Tarantino movies because they're "needlessly" violent, and there are people who object to the nudity and sex in Game of Thrones (see Boing Boing). The claim to...

I'd prefer it if commenting were disabled as a general rule, perhaps with the Sunday Papers posts providing a forum for discussion. Too much chaff, not enough wheat.

You can get fired for that, y'know.

Thanks, Screwie, sounds good.

Don't worry, Lowkey, you could always have an impromptu WFRP session with your family! Isn't bashing ratmen and chaos spawn an Easter tradition in the UK?

That's a sentiment I share, deadly.by.design. I feel like there's this aura around LPGs that says "if you don't devote X hours learning and playing, you're just wasting everyone's time." Perhaps...
