From the Short & Sweet Department: Here’s Captain London’s stats for ICONS, all primed and ready for play. For comparison purposes he weighs in at 60 points, more than the suggested 45 point base for a point-buy character, but well within the limits for a randomly generated one. That’s in keeping with his status as

Our long-running superhero campaign has trod a long and twisting path. The whole campaign began in a faux-Marvel Universe where the events of the Secret Wars took place, but the heroes (and villains) never returned, leaving a void that our superheroes came to fill. Oh, and when I say long-running, I mean long-running. This campaign

D&D has, in its time, visited many places and had many settings. We’ve had D&D in space (Spelljammer), set in desert lands (twice – Dark Sun and Al-Qadim), the Far East (Oriental Adventures) and on the plains of the horse clans (The Horde – remember that?).

One of the biggest innovations (or perhaps that should be re-innovations, as some of these elements were also present in previous editions) in Fourth Edition D&D has been the broadening of character generation.

There’s a fine art to being a LazyGM. It takes hard work & dedication – and throws them out the window. The true LazyGM instead uses that most limitless and potent of resources: the players. Our ICONS beer ‘n’ pretzels game has reached a point where it needs a place to call home. It needs

I’m basking in the glow of All Those GenCon posts; you folks are doing sterling work keeping we mere mortals StuckAtHomeCon in the gamer convention loop and I thank & salute you for that. It’s like being there, only without the crush and better hygiene. While y’all saturate the blogosphere (and I mean that in

Awesome! I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this. This is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and one of the best supers games ever made, IMO.
