Savage Worlds

Okay, at Randy's suggestion I picked up the Savage Worlds rpg. It seems like a lot of fun. I believe it best suited for some kind of pulp action game, short arcs, like dime novels. I think either Sword and Sorcery fantasy (exploration, very Howard), traditional Pulp Adventure, (Tales of the Gold Monkey anyone?) or they have a very cool Victorian, gaslight monster hunting setting called Rippers. I like all three and they are just for back-up in any case. Do you guys have a preference?

Upcoming Schedule - March through May

Our schedules are almost completely theoretical these days, as everybody seems to get busier, but I figure it's still worth giving a rough idea on scheduling. So...

March 23rd - Settlers of Catan (Paul, Jason, you in?)
March 30th - Poker Game

April 6th - Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Arc Two
April 13th - Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Arc Two
April 20th - Poker Game
April 27th - Settlers of Catan (Chris, Jason, Dave F.?)

May 4th - Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Arc Two
May 11th - Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Arc Two
May 18th - Poker Game
May 25th - Eberron: The Demons' Prophecy Part One

I'm hoping that by May, I will have some free time to put the Eberron adventure together. But I wouldn't mind having some fallback plans. Paul, had you given any serious consideration to running Metabarons? I'd love to play it. Chris, you still thinking about Teen Champions? Jason, anything you're itching to run?

Gaming Friday?

So with Nate out (you're out entirely, not just on hold for GM'ing, until April, right Nate?) and me nowhere near ready to run Eberron, what do we want to do for the last two weekends in March? I had planned a poker game for the 30th, so that's still on the schedule, but do we want to go ahead and get together this weekend (the 23rd) and just play videogames, hang out, etc.? Or do we want to take another week off and then re-convene in the first weekend of April for Ravenloft Arc Two?

Ravenloft postponed

Hey, guys. Sorry to do this. Because of the promise of blurbs from some top authors if I can pull this off, I've accepted a ridiculous writing challenge. In an attempt to top my November record of 60,000 words in thirty days, I'll be trying to write the last 50,ooo words of a novel in twelve days.

Because of this, I won't have time to prep or run Ravenloft until the first week of April. Since we're at the end of Act One, we can either pick back up in the first week of April, or wait until after Eberron's next arc. I'll leave the choice up to the majority.

Again, guys, sorry about this!

Nate.

Pantheon High RPG

Okay, check out this link. Apparently someone in Texas digs Pantheon High enough to create a new PH campaign. Do any of you know the Mutants & Masterminds system?
