My work professionally in the game industry has infected the way I view my favorite past time. I tend to look at a new game and see the cracks and flaws. In order for me to enjoy a game I must try to see past the glaring mistakes. Fortunately time has made this sickness fade.

As I find myself doing on a regular basis I found myself jumping into conversations with friends about new and old games. What they liked about new games, and what they hated about old and vice versa. The most...

So I started a facebook page yesterday. Not to use facebook for the usual mindlessness, it was for my LARP group so I could join our country's private forum/page there and we could plan things and talk outside of the game since we live scattered over a large area and don't see each other outside of Darkon.

After less than 24 hours, I deleted my page. Facebook is a #@&*ing circus. I added a few people from the site's suggested friends (how it knew who my Tae Kwon Do instructor...

Darkon, my LARPing game that I do every few weekends, is having the third campout of the season starting tonight at 8.

Avec cette session-ci, nous avons donc passé le cap de la "mi-campagne", puisque Frontière devrait durer 12 sessions....

My D&D campaign hasn't even started and I'm already stumped.

The fact that no one can just commit to showing up and playing at all is irritating. There are two of us out of 5 or 6 that actually will be there, the rest may or may not (and often don't) show up. The last two attempts at gaming ended up with outdoor cookouts over a campfire instead with some beerpong. Not bad, but not what I was there for.

That being said, I'm not sure what to do with the characters....
