It’s going to be a short blog post this week – Thanksgiving is on Thursday, and that means a lot of traveling and feasting for a lot of us. Because my wife and I have to hit two families, I don’t get a chance to do much (usually any) gaming […]

Fallout 4 comes out the day this blog post drops. Finally. I’ve really enjoyed every prior game in the series that released for the PC, and with the one exception of Fallout Tactics (which fell victim to a late, game-breaking bug), I’ve finished all of them at least twice. It […]
Grant and I have been in the same physical location a few times, and we’ve been in the same RPG session many more times, but never both at once. All of the tabletop RPG sessions that included both of us have occurred when we were both at home, and I […]
“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” – C.S. Lewis I was really intense as a younger gamer. I collected gaming books at a dizzying speed – enough to fill two bookcases, and I […]
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. – Romans 12:18 I did something new for me this past weekend: I went to a prerelease event for the new Magic: The Gathering set. Because I’m an introvert and a bit of a […]

I have a couple of disparate topics for this week’s blog. Crossover: First and foremost, we just recently wrapped up an exciting project with Kris and Katrina over at the Gameable Disney/Gameable Pixar podcast. We’ve crossed over with other podcasts before, but those have typically taken the form of a […]
A lot of the time, when a gaming group gets together to pitch ideas for their next game, it’s almost an overwhelming avalanche of ideas at first (or maybe that’s just my experience, but that’s all I’ve got to work with, so I’m going to run with that assumption). And […]
In my last blog post, I lamented the heaviness of the GURPS system relative to my own available prep time and went over some of my thought process in finding a new system. This week, having settled on FATE, I’m going to go over some of the specifics of converting […]
I’m on vacation this week, and as such, my routine is a little off. I forgot I had a post to write until Grant jogged my memory, so I apologize that this post is coming a little later than they typically do. -Peter Recording Episode 64: Matching System and Story […]
I haven’t managed to game with other people since I got back from Fear the Con, though not for lack of trying. My regular gaming group has had a “perfect storm” of scheduling conflicts that has gone on for several weeks as various group members deal with the responsibilities, obligations, […]
