General Chaos / Re: GenCon 2013 & The 4th RPPR Fan Meet-Up

I am so bummed that I can't make Con this year. I guess I'll have to wait another year for my Monsters fix. Turned a Co-worker onto the AP podcast and he has become quite a fan, gave him the lowdown on the meet up. He may show for a bit.
Hope all goes well for you guys. Have fun, kick ass, and loose sanity.

General Chaos / Game Table Question

« on: December 18, 2012, 02:46:38 PM »

I just moved into a new home and have room for a game area with enough space for one table. I plan on building one table for all of my gaming needs, RPG's, Mini Gaming, and Board Gaming as well. My question would be What would be the perfect size to acomadate as many games as possible? I play a little Arcane Legions from time to time and that calls for a 4 x 6 feet game area. Anyone know of any other games that requires more? Thanks all.

Missed out on one Monsters game I wanted to play but other than that got every thing I wanted. I tend to play lesser known games I never get to play otherwise so it's not hard to get tickets for most of them. Monsters sold out rather quickly though.

Figured it was biblical, mythical, or political. Neil Fallon’s lyrics are almost always a combination of the three. He goes on to mention Yggdrasil, the world tree from Norse mythology later in the song so my search was leading me in that direction. Thanks for the clarification guys.

Listening to the lastest RRPR Ross mentions Through A Glass Darkly (Delta Green Scenario I do beleave), been hearing this term thown around more latly and was wondering if anyone knows of it's origin. I know of it from a Clutch lyric "As through a glass, darkly you seek yourself." I also know of the 1961 movie. Wondering if the movie is it's origin or if it dates back farter than that. Any ideas?

I used to get mine at rpgsheets.com They cleaned up the site and changed it around a bit but they are still up and running. Used to get PDF and Word sheets there for my 3.5 game.

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Where do you listen to RPPR?

« on: August 25, 2011, 05:42:43 PM »

I'm a mail carrier and one of the last to deliver out of my own car, so I have an MP3 hookup on my radio. My route is 4 hours long so I listen to RRPR and APRRPR out on my routes. The only challenge is turning down the radio in time to censer Tom's language. Dosn't bother me any but some of my customers get pissy when they hear comments about frog snatch.

I think a party of 8 would have been a big difference for me. 10 is just to many to deal with at once. Not sure I'm in for around round next year but I did enjoy it, well worth the time.
The real highlight for me was getting to play Dragon Storm for the first time in 10 years or so and of course Monsters.

If were shouting out comic stores as well, I got to say Comic Relief In Flint, MI. They do some gaming there but mostly comic sales, it's the only decent comic shop in the area and yes it's in a worse part of Flint than games is.

Gamers Sanctuary in Flint, MI.
That's right folks, come and game in one of the nations most dangerous cities. The outside gunfire really adds to the realisum of your Delta Green games.
But, seriously folks it's a great shop and in a nicer part of the Flint area.

RPGs / Gen-Con Monsters/True Dungeon

« on: August 19, 2011, 06:39:59 PM »

First of all I would like to thank Ross for running another great session of Monsters and Other Childish Things-Road Trip. This was my 2nd year playing Monsters and I have had a blast both games. After the game we chated a bit and once it was mentioned that I was playing True Dungeon later that day Ross asked me to post a review of it, and here we go.
This was my first experience with True Dungeon and had no idea what I was in for. It felt almost like an amusment park ride at first with the decor and all. Over all I found it to be a very cool experience, unique and different. The puzzles were very challenging, not at all like your standard D&D game where you can take all the time you need to figure them out. A party has 12 minutes to solve the room or it's 2 damage and onto the next room. The combat was equally challenging, having to play on a bar room size shuffleboard table and aim for the armor class printed on the board. Playing the Monk I had to throw two pucks with the second having to be in motion before the first stopped moving. I found that to be very difficult having no time to aim my shot. My only real complaint was having a party of 10 people, working out puzzles was almost impossible having to shout over nine others to get your voice heard. The decor, low lighting, and music made it feel like a real dungeon while the puzzles and combats were a challenge but not impossible. Overall I'd give it a 8 out of 10.
Thank you again Ross for running the game and signing my books.
