WoW runs slower than shit on a basic, non-pro MacBook with the the Intel graphics chipset. Slow shit, at that.

A week ago, I went to the arcade at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk again, and I’m just now cleaning up my camera.

Just from looking at the side art, what do you suppose this is about?

RPGNow has a few cool, or at least interesting free RPGs for download:

Tunnels & Trolls: A light fantasy RPG from before that kind of thing was cool. I think this is just the quick-start rules.

The next three are all by a company called Goblinoid Games. My understanding is that the expression of game rules is copyrightable, but the rules themselves are difficult to copyright. Therefore, these are all 80’s RPGs with the serial numbers filed off. Grab copies now in case someone has an issue with it later.

Labyrinth Lord: A poorly-named copy of basic D&D

Osric: A copy of 1st-edition AD&D. Has quite a few modules available for purchase at RPGNow and at Warehouse23.

GORE: A copy of Chaosium’s BRP, which was more-or-less used later in Call of Cthulhu

Since I’ve already updated this once, I will probably create a more static page that won’t roll off the end as I update. Eventually, maybe.

Today, I went to DunDraCon 32 and met with a couple of my college peeps. I I think I don’t “get” gaming conventions, but I still had a pretty good time.

I have created a thread for discussion of things pen and paper here.
