    After reviewing our upcoming calendar, our group decided that we actually could attend more of Gencon this year than originally expected. My son and others are involved in Marching Band for the first time this year, and we fully expected that they would then be tied up thru Friday night of the convention. However, apparently…

    Thanks to recent holidays and major events, we have adjusted our gaming schedule somewhat. We are still continuing the Kingmaker campaign, though with the current count we have 6 available games until the August Gencon, where we will likely be switching to the Age of Ashes campaign using second edition Pathfinder Currently, we are alternating…

    I have been pondering the use of content ratings for gaming sessions recently, a system which I have informally used to define the “adultness” of whatever game I run or participate in. As a Dad, introducing my kids to the game, it is important to me, and serves as a decent means of communicating to…

    This coming weekend is the finale of the Game of Thrones series. We have been devoted fans since the original episode, and have dutifully followed the story every week it has aired. And I have to say I am rather ready for it to be over. I have not read the books, though the wife…

    Been being challenged to post regularly again recently thanks to distractions (most notably self-caused). Fundamentally, been spending too much time either working, or playing Atlas, both of which are difficult to pull away from (for different reasons). Schedule right now is in a bit of a rough spot, between holidays, birthdays, and end of school…

    Ended up not posting at all last week, thanks to a Spring Break for the family. Officially it was just the kids and spring break from school, but I opted to take the week for a vacation from work as well. Had some good times with the family – we spent the early part of…

    For something completely different, we nearly added a 3rd dog to our family today. My wife, on the way to drop off the son at school, found a labrador puppy wandering the streets loose. Preventing the inevitable roadside collision, she picked it up and brought it home. There, our other dogs, Scully (a small terrier…

    Both boys, busy with the Scouts, are headed to camp this weekend, giving me a rare “free” weekend with the wife. Not sure what we will be doing yet, its such an unusual occurrence. Most likely will just enjoy the quiet, though we are already making plans for after they return – considering trying to…
