Gaming Conventions, How Often?


Something that I've been contemplating of late is gaming conventions. Sure, there are the big ones like GenCon Indy and Origins, but there are all these other, smaller gaming conventions out there as well. Add to that the fact that exposure and promotion at gaming conventions seems to be a means by which game companies believe that their games will sell more, and that raises the question that comes...

Weekend done.


So, yeah. Weekend was spent on the road, mostly. This past weekend was CanGames, which is at this point the oldest gaming con in Canada. I drove up to Ottawa on Friday. I left later than I'd planned because I was arguing for a while with UPS about getting Cynra's replacement phone delivered. Some of the quirks of the delivery: They could not deliver it to my work location in Mississauga. They could...

The opposite of urban sprawl?


From jkahane comes this link to an article about an interesting idea - "decivilization". Simply put, it's the opposite of urban sprawl. The example given is the city of Flint, Michigan, which in the last 20 or 30 years has been ravaged by the bad times of the auto sector, but not rewarded by the boom times. They're talking about "consolidating" the city into a smaller area, and demolishing...

Poll: Favourite Pulp Adventure RPG


I am a fan of Pulp Adventure serials and of course, Pulp Adventure roleplaying games. Since the 1930s Pulp adventure genre is so popular in the gaming industry and among players these days, I have set up a poll on my LJ blog to see what folks' favourite Pulp adventure rpgs are. Please go to the poll, linked below, and participate in this poll. Comments and thoughts on the genre are welcome, too.....

Preferred RPG Poll


A couple of folks commented that the two genres given for the RPG poll were too generic, and not defined enough. So I have revised the poll, and reposted it with two specific rpgs in mind. The blog entry for the poll is http://jkahane.livejournal.com/242942.html I hope that folks will go over there and post about the two games in question. Thanks. :)

RPG Thought, Opinion Sought


The last couple of days, I've spent some time working on "Shadow of the Wolf", the Desolation scenario for CanGames, 2009 , and I have come to a scary conclusion: I am starting to have trouble remembering game rules for various systems. :( Now, granted that I haven't run the Desolation rpg, other than a few playtests and all since GenCon, 2008, but you would think that the game system rules...

The Glamourous Life of an Expo Organizer


One of the (few) perks of my position as co-ordinator for GX is that I get to occasionally take a trip out to other gaming cons to network and other fancy things. The best one was a weekend trip Cynra & I took to Origins one year (which is probably one of my favourite gaming events). While I networked she got to enjoy the educational track they offer, which is quite interesting. All I can say is: Teachers...

At last, a day for the rest of us!


Courtesy of jkahane comes the news that today is National Cleavage Day . Now that's a celebration I could get behind. Err, in front of. Between? Anyway, from the article, I quote, "It gives men a legitimate reason to stare at boobs". And isn't that all we really need?
