• Nuketown News
  • Nuketown at GenCon
    • For the first time in five years, I’m going to GenCon! Can’t wait to be there. Partly to hang out with my friends, seven of whom are going to the con, but also to meet up with people I’ve been listening to online for 2+ years.
    • Laying in a supply of food, including bread, peanut butter, jelly, Tylenol, granola bars, water bottles, raisins, craisins, apples, plastic knives/forks, and (of course) Mountain Dew.
    • Among the games I will be playing: D&D, Spirit of the Century (thanks Mick Bradley of the Harping Monkey!), Godlike, Spycraft(via the scifish Farthest Star), Savage Worlds (Savage World of Soloman Kane, Sundered Skies)
