    I just finished my VtM campaign I've been running since August

    even did an epilogue for the PCs I put on youtube with a montage of captions and music about what happened to the various NPCs and their characters

    Fallout style

    Messing around with media is a nice way to give games a bit of "oomph", if you've got any familiarity whatsoever.

    I've been running the same campaign, with the same players, weekly, since 4ed launched.

    That is more or less the continuation of my earlier weekly game group that started sometime in the first year of 3e and ran up until the announcement of 4e.

    There's been an odd break or two, but basically I ran one weekly campaign for all of 3/3.5, and so far I've been running one for all of 4e.



    My X-Com LP works along similar lines, I guess. I just seem to keep going.

    16th, but we do plot-based advancement rather than handing out XP for each encounter. I try to keep it about the same, but they've probably gone through enough encounters to be around 18th-20th by now.

    i tend to pace encounters so that they will be the level i want them to be at points anyway. it's functionally the same, but they get to look forward to "oh man, we're almost level 5!"

    Got my first D&D related christmas gift! The Plane Below: Secrets of the Elemental Chaos!

    Actually pretty stoked about it because it was near the bottom of the list of books I want, so it's not a book I would have bought for myself any time soon.

    Hoping to get Heroes of the Elemental Chaos when that comes out and see how much information the two combined provide.

    Also there's a few pretty good monsters, one of which gave me a pretty great idea.

    Played Super Dungeon Explore last weekend and it is quite fun indeed. The deck is certainly stacked against the players, especially if it's your first time playing it. But it appears that it's not impossible to win, just really really hard in that enjoyably challenging way.

    played Alien Frontier today. also Gloom. Both very different but interesting games.

    I found the best way to win Alien frontier is to have a decoy, make a truce with someone and then at the last minute dick everyone over.

    It does seem similar to a lot of games that I have historically enjoyed. Also

    It's been a great Christmas for roleplaying options. I got Diaspora and Burning Wheel Gold.

    I'm not sure which one I'm more excited about. The Lifepaths for Burning Wheel look so fun.

    Hey nerds. There are 10 days to go on the Kickstarter for FrankenDie, a new party/dice game I'm illustrating. If anyone has Christmas money burning a hole in their pocket and would like to pre-order a copy, the page can be found here:

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theotherside/frankendie-the-party-game-for-the-madly-insane

    Here are a couple of the illustrations I've done so far:

    I'd recommend InSpectres for this.

    My understanding is that InSpectres is pretty much the actual Ghostbusters PnP game in a non-liscensed suit.

    My light investigation suggests that it is similar, but not necessarily the same.

    Stats are the same, but some of the mechanics are different. Like the confessional stuff, and it doesn't seem to have the ghost die thus far.

    Has anyone here ever run a majority aquatic campaign in Pathfinder?

    Apparently I'm running a campaign about pirates and I'd love to hear tips about problems or interesting turns I wouldn't have thought of just reading the SRD.
