Or play test with Tom. He'll catch historical inaccuracies; likely he'll point them out with great glee.

Or: If You Can't Find A Gaming Group, Raise One From Infants
I helped my two oldest daughters (they are nine and almost-six) make OSH characters this evening, while I cut out and glued assorted tokens. (We'll actually play a game next weekend.)
We have Crystal Stone-hewer, the Fashionable Treasure-Hunter. She is a dwarf, wearing glittery chain mail and carrying a heavy sword. High brawn and daring, not-so-great cunning or charm. "She also has a knife to cut monsters' heads off, Daddy."
We also have Audrey, the Magical Princess. She has a sleep spell in her arsenal, and also carries a magic wand (replete with silver star on the end). She waves it at enemies and they disappear. "They don't turn invisible, Daddy. They go somewhere else."
So. For their first adventure, what should I throw at them? I have a few ideas, but I can always use more.

Finished Darksiders. No, no, the first one.
I'm starting Space Marine. Shouldn't take long, right?

Holy Endermen, Batman.
I counted six outside my hoverhouse last night before I logged off.
Apparently they need sand for something.

Oh, so that's what you do with obsidian. I have some diamond tools, and I had some obsidian in my old place, but I didn't take it with me. Haven't uncovered any in the new excavation; I'm sure I will though.

Anyone want to tell a Minecraft noob how to make bright lighting? Where do I find that glowstone stuff?

I packed a few provisions and journeyed West. I crossed into some tundra, and found an ocean.
I also detonated a creeper on a hill, and turned the crater he made into a shelter.
Also: Thad sighting!

A Navy recruiter, in denial of (and therefore suffering from) untreated PTSD.
A guidance counselor, two or three days from retirement. (You know, milking that retiring cop trope.)
An art teacher who has flat-out stolen a bunch of students' work and shown/sold it as her own.

I am a Planner. Talking Zombies are the most dangerous to me, I have better-than-even chances against most of the rest.

« on: September 24, 2012, 11:08:12 PM »
RPPR directly:
The Heretic Cycle
Monsters and Other Childish Things
Call of Cthulhu
Eclipse Phase
Road Trip
Don't Rest Your Head
That 4E module pack from Goodman Games
A pile of Gamescience dice
House of Leaves
The Atrocity Archives
The Jennifer Morgue
The Fuller Memorandum
The Apocalypse Codex
Accelerando
Halting State
Rule 34
Don't Read This Book
And, by association with the forums, my encounters with Tadanori Oyama led me to purchase:
Dark Heresy
Deathwatch
...and a mess of other supplements.
Well-spent, no regrets. I just wish I had a group to play with.
