If you are a fan of Acquisitions Inc. and or helping sick kids, have I got an auction for you! Over the years we have played D&D on stage with some very cool people and we have done so while wearing some incredibly crazy costumes. Now that we have moved into the world of Daggerheart we’ve created new versions of our characters and some of these old costumes can be retired to greener pastures. The best part is that those greener pastures can be your pastures!

Gorbiriel Of The Moonstone Reaches genuinely enjoys the new Masters of the Universe movie. He enjoys ronically! He did a review for the site and shit. He even has nice things to say about Jared Leto! I prefer my Letos encrusted with sandtrout and ushering Humanity along The Golden Path but, you know, to each his own.

I stopped playing Absolum because I was waiting for cross-platform multiplayer, and I haven't seen The Odyssey yet because I feel like if they went through all the trouble to film it on these big weird cameras I should make the effort to see it on a big, weird screen. Is this edging? Maybe… Maybe I just like rules?

I.

Just before Ronia was leaving for a flight, she addressed me in a serious tone. It's the tone I use when I'm not being serious at all, so I should have clocked it immediately. For example: I might lean my shoulder against her doorframe, and say, hey. I don't know if you heard the recent news alert. But there was an incident at the zoo's Darkfang exhibit, and one or more of these terrifying serpents was inadvertently released.

It's clear by this point that she's not taking the threat seriously, which means I haven't communicated the very real danger such creatures present. "It's like a Ghost Snake," I'll say, my brow knit to stitch the mortal threat into place. "Even an ordinary snake constitutes a wily opponent. Imagine if physicality itself were no object! Imagine if a snake had mastered Death."

"Release me," is her typical response. Anyway, this time, she said, "Dad, if you go to Florida… please. Please," she said. "Make sure that cookie tea."

"Daughter," I replied gravely. "Only one beverage has this power."

We appear to be living in the age of the demo again and I could not be happier. It is especially nice when you can transfer your save data to the full game if you are having a good time. I recently grabbed the demo for Echoes of Aincrad because I like Anime RPG’s and it looked cool. I had no idea it was a Sword Art Online game and for that matter I really didn’t know what Sword Art was all about. 

Sorry about that; two things. One, I get incredibly dumb when there is a time change. And two, a couple of the people I asked for stuff to post no give it to me. V shameful in my opinion, except…. one of them was in a tender place after completing their new company's first game, thought they could write about it, and just… couldn't. It's about a teenaged raccoon who delivers love letters on his sweet-ass BMX. I guess I could just ask him questions. That might get around it. I've been meaning to start interviewing all the weirdos I know, under the monomer "FrieNDA." I'll do that next week.

This is just a quick note to say that the 23rd annual Child’s Play Charity Dinner and Auction is coming up on November 13th and you can get your tickets now!

I hardly know what to say about young Christopher Badell. Maybe I simply know too much to effectively cull it. His Sentinels of the Multiverse shit is brilliant - whether in its original form, an RPG, or a wargame somehow. He's a very generous person and, dare I say it, maybe even a buddy or pal - acting as midwife to games from others like Spirit Island or COMPILE is a completely separate skill which he also possesses. It gets rude after a certain point. Did he get extra points at character creation? Gotta be. That's before we even get into this last couple years, which has certain things in common with the Hero's Journey. Anywho, here he is:
