So last Winter's Solstice I posted a bunch of pictures of DC's Ice. Well today I'll post her partner and other favorite of my oldest son, Fire.

White Dwarf Wednesday
Will be a bit delayed today (maybe till tomorrow).
I just got back into town from a business trip and am woefully behind on everything.

Latest Drama Bomb
Well I go away out of town for a couple of days and there is yet another drama bomb dropped on the RPG community.
If you have not heard it yet, well, look around it will surface somewhere else to be sure.
Even though this is a the exact sorta thing I'd normally through my hat into, I am lacking the motivation to do so.
I will say this though.
If I don't like your product, game and even to a degree you as a human being (I never claimed to be with out bias) then I won't buy your product. That's it. That's my worst threat.
I am not going boycott it or your publisher. I might write a bad review if I do buy it. But that is fair.
I am not going to declare you "my enemy" (enemy? really? What are we, 12 years old?)
I DO understand the original complaint and I DO agree with it. I don't agree with the actions they are trying to do.
Ok, I didn't want to rant or get involved, so I'll stop here.

New Game Group and Game!
There is nothing quite like the excitement of a new gaming group.
New people getting together for the first time, new characters, new game, new worlds to explore.
My oldest son has a friend that really wants to learn to play D&D. So I talked to his mother and she is thrilled about it too. She used to play Werewolf back in college. We are also going to add his younger brother and my youngest too. So a total of four boys ages 9 to 12.
My oldest plays in a group now that he is continuing with. They are playing Castles and Crusades and having a good time with that. My oldest and youngest are still playing our 3.x Epic game, the DragonSlayers.
Given I still have all this 4e stuff I want to get my money's worth out off, we are going to play Fourth Edition D&D.
I think it is going to be a great time to be honest.
Right now the plans are to play every other Saturday.
I picked up the Forgotten Realms books at Half-Price books a while back dirt cheap so maybe we will play in the Realms. I have never done that before.
My kids created their characters yesterday and I am going to use the companion rules to let them have a human or animal companion. My oldest is playing two characters a Dragonborn Paladin/Warlord and Genasi Sorcerer, My youngest is playing a Half-elf Bard. I am planning to go totally 4e gonzo on this too. Use all the options, the cards, everything.
So yeah, it is about as far from an old school game as you can get, but you know what, it is going to be a blast! I can't wait to get started!
I am not likely to use the "Basic Levels" idea I came up with. Which is too bad really, cause I really liked that. But hey, who knows. Let's see what the kids want.

Free RPG Day Haul
Look what I got!
I grabbed the "D&D"-like ones, because that's what my kids enjoy the most.
Been toying around with an idea that might incorporate all four into a game...but that is silly.
The ShadowRun was more for me. I have been itching to pull my ShadowRun books down again.
Don't forget you can also get the Ghosts of Albion Quick Start and Adventure Derby Day.
