Making new gamers one by one

Bygamingballistic

I am now outnumbered and flanked. We welcomed Melody Alexis Cole to our gaming circle yesterday. 

She clocked in at just shy of 50cm and 2.9kg, and thus far – with one exception last night – has been a pretty content little cuddle-monkey.
Her big sister loves calling herself a big sister. Mom is feeling better after all the tubes are no longer connected. 
Forthcoming

I’ve got a few things in the works. I’ve got tentative agreement to throw down with another couple of Firing Squad interviews. One with another member of the SJG staff (heh), and since he’s come up in every interview so far, I’ve asked if +Hans-Christian Vortisch would sit down with me and chat about writing for RPGs, and his passion for firearms.
Game On!

The Alien Menace campaign got off to a slow but solid start, and I’m trying to remember how to be a GM. I have a good idea for the next adventure at least in kind, and it should hopefully be a whole ‘nother thing than this last one, which was a giant tactical exercise. Good mix and match going to happen, and I’m interested to see if the players like the direction.

Applying MECE to GURPS Attack-Defense options

Bygamingballistic

In my old job, there was a principle called MECE. Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive. This was applied when trying to organize information that already existed into groups for later analysis. This might be a customer demographic, or slicing a business into segments based on some sort of grouping, maybe to figure out which part…

Castle of Horrors: Neil Stevenson

Bygamingballistic

This is my character for +Mark Langsdorf‘s Modern meets Dungeon Fantasy mashup, Castle of Horrors. Some thoughts on his generation and makeup are intermixed. Neil Stevenson (200 points) Neil finished high school and joined the Army, where he was a pretty good soldier, mostly light infantry. Ranger training. Probably saw a bit of combat. When he…

Introductory GURPS: What do Basic D&D and WEG Star Wars tell us?

Bygamingballistic

There are a couple hot threads over on the SJG forums right now about where to take GURPS in order to expand the revenue base, which would turn into more product, higher quality product, and the kind of exponential growth (though that too would saturate eventually) that you need for a bit to have an…
