It’s cold, there’s snow on the ground, and I haven’t slept much this week. That’s the bad news. The good news is my coffee is brewing and I haven’t slept much because I’m excited about a parade on Friday! These are random TTRPG thoughts.
- Brian Holland and Michael O’Brien, from Chaosium, were fantastic guests on Skipping Lunch this week. Check out their interview!
- Send me your nerds, geeks, and dreamers who are longing to roll some dice. Ecclesicon 2025 is coming March 28-30 in Palmyra, NJ. Use code “GoBirds” through Friday, February 14 for $5 off badges!
- I may, or may not, have picked up more books this week. OK, I did pick up some more books. In my defense, it’s my Birthday week and I’m celebrating an Eagles Super Bowl victory so I really didn’t care if my review queue grew any. Also, I’ve been wanting to pick up Never Going Home for a while. So there.
- It will take me forever to read Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme. Not because the book is bad, but because I’m either laughing myself silly or looking for things which will cause me to laugh myself silly. Exalted Funeral did an amazing job, and I’ll be doing a first look next week. Thanks for the review copy, folks!
- Michael O’Brien showed me how Call of Cthulu’s mechanics work during our chat. As is my nature, I rolled awful and it is likely my character was eaten.
- Go Birds.
- My Dragonbane group has realized that Orcs could be powerful allies as they quest in the Misty Vale. Maybe they’re figuring out that “see thing, kill thing” does not work in this game?
- I ordered two more decks to use for my Numenera and Cypher System tables. I don’t have a problem, you have a problem.
- I am still accepting donations for the auction at Ecclesicon! All procedes from the convention are being split 75/25 between Booksmiles and repaying the Church’s roof replacement loan. If you have any questions, or would like to donate an image, reach out to me through the Ecclesicon contact page. Help us do a bit of good!
- Can people please stop getting sick? I have games I want to test out and everyone keeps getting sick.
- My Path of Glory review is being delayed a small bit because I can’t focus on it this week. Why? Well the school has multiple half-days for various reasons, I have to dig out from more nuisance snow, and the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
