Recap & The Scottish Invasion

Getting back in the habit of updating this regularly. We’ve still been playing great games every Wednesday at 7pm (Pandemonium Books), but the website doesn’t always record that.

Last week Eric Pinnick ran Primetime Adventures for the first time. I understand the premise of their imaginary TV show was based on the Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” (which was going on last week), so they had crazy aquarium fun.

Ben Lehman also ran a playtest of a survival horror game that he’s just beginning to work on. Also of note, his second game, Bliss Stage, recently had its first printing, which is super-duper exciting.

This week, SGBoston hosts Malcolm Craig (A|State, Cold City), who’s coming all the way from across the pond to rock with the Boston crew on his way to GenCon. Also, I promised April Pinnick that I’d run some zombie survival horror, using my own system that’s in playtest, Giger Counter (everybody’s designing survival horror games apparently). Richard also said he wants to try running White Wolf’s Exalted setting using Evil Hat’s Spirit of the Century rules. Other games will surely be available too.

It’s cliche, but… I’m thankful for meeting so many cool people through SG Boston. Enjoy your tofurkey!

BONUS ACTIVITY: Post your own Thanksgiving-themed Wushu-style action stunt cooking maneuver in the comments. I’ll go first:

I throw the cursed turkey in the air (+1), and swiftly roundhouse the frozen bird into the waiting oven (+1). Then, slowly, I take the still-lit cigarette from my mouth and toss it into the stove (+1). The kitchen explodes into a rain for burned turkey and shrapnel (+1).

Dinner is ruined – but the world is safe. For now.

Thanks in part to some pimping by Jared S., we got mentioned on the BostonGeek podcast. Cool!

In case you didn’t know, BostonGeek is a cool and quite knowledgeable podcast about geek happenings (for many defintions of “geek”) in the world and Boston area. They also have a great amount of wisdom in the realm of beergeekery.
