Apropos of Nothing: Minneapolis Comic Con 2015 – Friday

Bygamingballistic

This year is all about my daughter. Most of the panels aren’t that interesting to me, though there are a few, and the one person I really wanted to get an autograph from – Morena Baccarin is doing something outlandish like earning a living by acting or something. Alas for me, good for her.

Anyway, the food is still bad (and expensive), but who cares: my daughter got all dressed up, and brought a friend. Plus, costumes!

So here you go:

Lots and lots of pics after the break . . .

Kevin Smith? I know he’s there this weekend

On Target in Pyramid #3/77

Pyramid #3/77 – Combat is out, and I’m very excited. +Sean Punch has his typically enticing blub posted in the SJG Forums here.

Bad Guy Characterization 3: The character of pure evil

Bygamingballistic

+Aaron McLin made a comment on my previous post noting that if you actually have (say) a plane of elemental evil, where evil is a real, tangible thing, then working through the “they don’t think it’s evil” thing doesn’t work. From the comment feed on G+ Tabletop RPGs: That, I think, depends on how you want…
