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!

Gamestorm!

Sadimac and I will be at Gamestorm all weekend. I'll try to do some posting at the con, but I might not be doing anything here until Monday.

There's a 4E D&D game that Captain Zippy and I are taking part in. I'll be doing a write up of that, and any other experiences worth mentioning.

See everyone soon! If you're bored, go to io9.com, where there is a wonderful fountain of some pretty smart geekery flowing.
