Probable Metropolis

I have a ‘My Mini City’. It’s called Probable Metropolis. If you visit its homepage it gets an additional peep - so please do.
This is the simplest game I’ve come across on the web. All you’re required to do is type in a name for your city to create it and then get people to [...]

Mutants and Masterminds and Maybe

Last night I joined the roleplaying game that Pete and his friends are playing - Mutants and Masterminds. It took me a long time to settle on a character, but eventually I came up with what’s essentially a werewolf, except his change is triggered by heightened emotion instead of night/the full moon. Technically, he’s also [...]

So on Friday night I went to see Die Hard 4.0 again - this time with a handful of other English teachers. It was just as enjoyable this time as it was the first time; indeed, I had the benefit of an audience (or a fraction of an audience) that actually laughed at the jokes. [...]

Firstly, Drew’s got a new forum up and running for us. It looks a lot like the old one - perhaps too much like the old one; I imagine the forum software comes from the same place. Once my account has been authorised I’m pretty confident I’ll get some work done on the game. It [...]

Essentially, it said that the board would be deleted on Sunday, and it gave a link to the provider’s support board. On this latter there was a thread offering to move forums [...]

Hammering away

Yesterday was the first session of the Warhammer roleplaying game in Seoul. I left home about 12:20 and dropped into the local 7-Eleven for some water. Waiting outside were a couple of Canadians I’ve met once or twice. I said Hi and headed off to the station. Outside the subway station I met some other [...]

Captain Maybe’s RPG Forum

I’ve now set up a forum for the continuation of the D&D game I’ve been running, Empire of Destiny. It’s right here. The game itself is in a private area, but there’s a public area for general discussion. Why don’t you drop by and say hello?

Weekends and beginnings

It was quite a busy weekend.
Earlier this year I attended a reading group for a few weeks. The group seems to have fizzled out, though - at the last meeting there were just three of us, and not enough people were replying to the guy who organised it. So I've been thinking about joining a [...]
