Now this is how to play Settlers of Catan.

Day two was even better than day 1. I started the morning with my All Flesh Must Be Eaten game that I was GMing. It was based on Gilligan’s Island. Basically, Gilligan’s Island with zombies. I had great players and I think everyone had a good time. I know I had a great time.

After that, I played a Leverage game. Again, I had a great time. The game played very much like the show. Again, we had a great group of players and I had a great time.

Finally, I played Burning Wheel with Luke Crane, the designer of the game. I died a wonderfully violent death full of greed and possessed by an evil wizard. It was AWESOME. If you get the chance to play Burning Wheel with Luke, you definitely should do so.

I started the day by running my Earthdawn adventure. The players I had were great. Most had never played Earthdawn before, however, they picked the system up rather easily. I thought the game went fine. I was not pleased by the pacing, but that was entirely my fault.

After that, I played a mobster game called Crime Network, Cosa Nostra. It had an interesting system that was fairly easy to learn. I would recommend you check it out if you are looking for a mobster game. Unfortunately, I died during the first battle. However, my death was completely in character for my guy and was ultimately caused by him following one of his disadvantages. Thus, although I died relatively early, I enjoyed the game and had a good time.

The final game I played today was Action Castle! The best way to describe the game was that it was text based computer adventure game presented live. It was unusual, it took a little while to get the hang of things, but ultimately, we figured things out and had a good time.

We are here and ready for the best 4 days of gaming.

“It’s the greatest weapon possibly ever conceived, the RPC, or Rocket Propelled Chainsaw. Yes, it is EXACTLY what it sounds like, and provided you have an unlimited amount of chainsaws, you’ll be the zombie killing champion of the post-apocalyptic world.” via unrealitymag.com

I received my Dresden Files RPG books today. They are beautiful. I can’t wait to dive into them. I have reviewed the PDF copies that Evil Hat allowed me to download when I bought it. However, there is nothing quite like cracking open a new, full color, rpg book.
