Happy Holidays, Everybody!

Have a Merry Christmas, and a Lucharrific New Year! Onward to 2013!

Okay... Here's a little bit of content.

Yeah, I'm hideously overdue to talk about my fun times at Helgacon V. Frankly, as awesome as it was it was so long ago I can't hope to do a play by play.

So here's some eye candy from one of the events I ran, a sugary little concoction in the "gonzo" vein that stirred in influences from disparate corners of pop culture with the strongest flavors coming from Saturday Morning Cartoons, that I called "The Kingdom of Murgatroyd"



These are the pre-generated characters, of whom the players could choose either the spear or distaff versions to play. 
 
Left to Right, we have Gygasaurus the Primusaur, Mostly the Shapeshifter, Twinkle Hooves the Unicorn Pony, Bluered the Dweomon Master, Starfox the Pegasus Pony, Buckberry the Earth Pony, and El Tigre Muchacho, a mighty Handsman


And representing the lovely ladies of adventuring, we have Galgasaurus the Priumusaur, Sorta the Shapeshifter, a Unicorn Pony known as The Fabulous Pixie, Pearl Diamond the Dweomon Master, Vixen the Pegasus Pony, Brandywine the Earth Pony, and La Pantera Muchacha, a fearless Handswoman.

Long and forgotten story short, the doughty team of heroes busted into the secret lair of the nefarious evil world domination bent organization S.K.U.L.L., beat up a lot of goons, and rescued some hapless travellers from the sinister cabal's sweaty clutches.


A good time was had by all.

Memes In Lieu of Content

So here's my gaming bookshelf, a la Grognardia's shelf meme.

Savage Worlds, D&D from Holmes to 3rd Ed, then assorted Old Skool Gems on top.

Curiosities, Relics, Games I Don't Play Anymore, and support materials on the 2nd. shelf

Modules, Miscellaney, and old notebooks full of game notes from back in the day, then Box Sets.

The grey tube you see down at the bottom right corner is my trusty battle mat

So many game books, so little actual gaming. Must remedy sometime...

Still scuppered, but here be a tune t' tap yer peg legs to!

Well, posting still be sparse, but t' tide ye over on International Talk Like A Pirate Day, here be a little ditty for ye bilge guzzlin' swabs.

Yarrrrrrr

Augh! I've been neglecting this blog for so long!

And it'll probably continue until I can get some actual gaming going on.

'Til then, lets have a moment of science with the Aquabats

Yeah!

The Hero Project

Hey sandbox, long time no see.

Well, I've kinda been distracted by other stuff, which is modern shorthand for slacking off, mostly, but I've also been relocating from New England to my old stomping grounds in PA.

So anyway, the reason I'm delurking is to tout the VERY cool kickstarter project that my awesome bro and his partner have just sparked up.

It kinda relates to gaming, I reckon, 'cos it's called the Hero Project, and it involves super sweet action figures of world mythological heroes.

Check it out, there's a lot of cool swag in the offing if you lay down some moola. One of the items is a cool art book full of illos of their first hero, Rama from Indian mythology. I contributed one of the illos, so if you pledge at that level I'll be extra stoked.

Hero Project

Thanks!


Oh, and P.S. don't go away, I'll get around to putting some stuff up here once I get other stuff straightened out.

Helgacon V

Whoo!

Back from another year's Helgacon! This one was bigger and better, and I'm whupped and happy, having had a tremendous time. Thanks to all my good friends who ran the games I played in or played in games I ran. A special thanks to Paul, who drags the whole thing across the finish line every year by the sweat of his own brow. You are awesome, sir!

They go by so fast, and leave you hungry for more. I'll be sporadically posting play by plays of the games I was in as time and inclination allow.

Yeah!
