The Five Blue Budgies Come Home

…and they’re looking for trouble

Cool Stuff

Here’s a link to a very cool looking online tabletop gaming system that I just might try using to game with my far flung roleplaying buddies.

iTabletop

Other Stuff

I’ll have some sort of review up for each of the products I got at GenCon (most of which were written by Robin Laws), but probably not before Monday.

This Saturday I’ll be girding my loins and doing at least a partial cleaning out of my garage. The reason (other than my garage being full to overflowing with junk and stuff) is that next Tuesday is the semiannual “large trash pick up” and I always take advantage of this chance to pile up and dispose of crap I no longer need.

Sunday will be Game Day with my other gaming group…the one where I get to be just a player, not the GM. I’m looking forward to some zombie stomping action or, failing that, some running away while screaming.

I’ve loaded Campaign Cartographer 3 onto my laptop. It is very cool and a big step up from the also very cool CC Pro. Full review to come soon, after I make a few maps while giggling like a schoolgirl.

After a couple of years of saying I’d do it “next month”, I sent in a zine to Alarums & Excursions. It’s just a rewriting of the GenCon reports I did here, but what the hell, at least I sent in a zine.

More bloggage later. Now is the time for dog walking, then working.

NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: It’s 2021 and the whole COVID pandemic has spawned a shitload of virtual tabletops. I have no idea whatever happened to iTabletop.

NOTE FROM THE FUTURE, PART TWO: It seems iTabletop is still going and up to version 3. The link above is still good, if you happen to be crawling through my ancient posts.
