With apologies for the length of time it took to get it back up and running, the Forum has returned.

Please bear with us as we get the formatting back up to snuff with the rest of the site.

If you had an avatar, you will need to reload it. All extraneous files were deleted as a part of the repairs (probably not necessary, but it was done, so don’t cry about it.).

Please let us know if you have any suggestions to improve anything.

Thanks!

It would seem that I am going to be pulled into the modern era of Dungeons & Dragons. Kicking and screaming. (Well, there’ll be kicking and screaming. I’m pretty sure there will. It may not be mine.)

D&D came out with their Fourth edition recently. I kept resisting the urge to do anything with it. I’d been burned by the whole 3.0-3.5 experience, and I really wasn’t into caring about D&D anymore.

We thought we’d mention a regional convention showing up in Tempe, Arizona this weekend. While it isn’t a gaming convention, there are several cool things going on at WesterCon 62 (FiestaCon).

Check out their website – and if you’re able, check out the Con over the Independence Day Holiday.

I’ll be there. I may even score some pictures to show!

Last night I had the opportunity to play Cosmic Encounter for the first time.

It’s a game of diplomatic back-stabbing, and galactic colonization.

In case you were wondering: Yes, we’re aware of the Forum issue.

I’ll fix it at my earliest convenience, which may be a couple days.

Keep an eye out for RandomCon photos! (Yes, really. We got a few GOOD ones).

Let us know what you think – leave a comment!

Last year with some help from my friends I went to my first gaming convention, Phoenix Con Games. It was the start of my reawakening as a gamer. You may ask, what made it go to sleep in the first place? That would be a trip back in time… (more…)

By the by, I’ve been checking out a new “geek-centric” podcast. Go on over to www.touchingthemonolith.com and have a listen. It’s new and fun. Can’t wait to hear what the guys do next.

So this morning my latest Think Geek purchase arrived in the mail. Ah, the joys of unwrapping new swag! Woot! It’s l00t! Who knew that 3 t-shirts would be so heralded. It made me think about the time my dad called me from GenCon.

I was born and raised in Indianapolis. Most of my family still lives there, including my father. Some years ago, Dad went from high caliber systems analysis geekery to the life of a limo driver. Apparently there are geeks out there who enjoy taking a stretch with wet bar to GenCon. My dad had a few clients in the area and called me during his down time.

“So, you know about geeks. Can I ask you something?” Dad asked. (more…)
