Mekton Game

Today, I played a game called Mekton. I had never played it before. We played a variant in which we trying to score a goal (similar to soccer) while attacking the players on the other side. I had an absolute ball. (It helped that our side won the game).

Ben Balestra (from All Games Considered) was the GM and he did a good job keeping the game simple and fast moving.

I also had the opportunity to play D&D 4th edition for the first time. I had a good time playing and there are definitely things about the system that I like. I really like the fact that each player gets his own special attack. On the other hand, I am not crazy about how the spellcasters have been treated. On the whole, I would certainly be open to playing a 4th ed. campaign.

I also managed to score 4 d20 3.5 sourcebooks in the bargain bin for $2 a piece.

All in all, it’s been a great day.
