Gamestorm, Snow, and D&D 4E

So D&D 4E was.... good.

I'm loathe to admit it, but they designed a good system, and it plays really, really well. I can't speak to the character creation process, but actual play is quick, smooth, and makes sense. Capn zip & I wanted to hate it, we did, but we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Zip is going to play another session today to get more of a feel (I am otherwise occupied sadly).

They also changed one of the most annoying things they were planning on doing (something to do with the online functionality of the game I really don't feel like getting in to), which softens some of Sadimac's outrage at WotC.

It was snowing this morning when I got up. I looked outside, saw the snow, and my brain said:

"That is an optical illusion caused by just waking up. Ignore it and make coffee"

But no, it was snow. In late March.

We got to the con just fine though, and now here I sit at the PDX Browncoats fan table, having already confirmed that we are indeed NOT the check in for Gamestorm.

More soon!

PDX Browncoats: Firefly at the Mission

As is probably obvious from the flight suit I'm wearing in the photo I have up on this blog, I'm a raving Browncoat.

I've been a part of our local fan group since it's inception, and at this point almost all of my friends are as well (a combination of new friends and old friends who have joined the fold). Last night, we once again took over a theater.

Last month we held our wildly successful (we raised at least $10,000) annual charity screening of Serenity, and now the Mission Theater here in town has seen fit to show Firefly in it's entirety over the course of the next several Tuesdays.

We packed the place: 312 people, at ten o'clock on a Tuesday night. It was 100+ degrees yesterday, and well over 70 by the time we wrapped up, and people still came out in droves.

Portland is sort of the epicenter of Firefly fandom, and oh boy did we show it last night.
