Santa Barbara Gaming!

Two of the players in our weekly roleplaying sessions have left town now… and then there were five. So, I’m starting to organize efforts to find new gamers in my area to join us. The end result?

Santa Barbara Gaming. A resource to help SB region gamers network and find each other, with a mailing list and such.

Wasting Time, Lesson One

I spend quite a bit of my internet time (and mental activity, so it seems) reading, posting, and thinking about roleplaying games. They’ve always been one of my favorite hobbies. For posterity, I suppose, and in the interests of posting something to this weblog, I thought I’d showcase the extent of my madness. (continued)

Geek Overload: My Exalted character

As many of you have heard, I’m back in business… the roleplaying business that is. The playing of RPG business. Not so much business, I guess.

Swimming is one of my favorite activities– it’s good exercise, it’s relaxing, it’s peaceful under the water, and it’s such a great chance to be playful and splash at each other. But I don’t remember many pool games. (continued)

Roleplaying Party

While I was in Colorado last weekend for the wedding of some good friends, I had a chance to engage in my most favorite hobby– Tabletop pen-and-paper roleplaying, or RPGing as the cool kids call it. Actually, I’m under the impression they refer to it as “r00l p7AyN, suXXoRZ”, but I never liked the cool kids anyway. Read on for pictures! (continued)

Exalted has made me its Bitch

So, I finally broke down and bought Exalted: the Fair Folk, a RPG supplement for (amazingly enough) the Exalted line of roleplaying games… It’s really good, and has viciously rekindled my love for RPGs. (continued)

So, last night I went to a poker night and quadrupled my money. It got me thinking about card games in general, as well as feeling pretty damn happy about the whole thing. (continued)
