This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This is a newer game called "Wild West Exodus" - it mixes Cowboys, Aliens, the Old West, steampunk, and mad scientists all together. Reminded me of the movie "Cowboys & Aliens", might make a good RPG campaign setting :

This one I took so we have a face to go with the name. This guy is Vincent Baker - yeah, THAT guy. Author of "Dogs in the Vineyard" and the infamous "Poison'd" games. Weird experience chatting with him when I realized 'who' he was.

As I noted elsewhere he certainly looks like an RPG designer.

And these days I think Baker is best known as the designer of AW and all the PbtA games it spawned.

I didn't realize the wargaming assets were so elaborate at these cons. I assume that level of extravagance is unusual?

  I think GenCon is where all the wargaming companies and wargamers show off their big displays--that's what GenCon reports in DRAGON suggested 25 years ago, at least. :)

  Anyone go to or hear anything about Pelgrane Press' "Gaming Saves the World" seminar on Thursday? I'm asking out of morbid curiosity.

Allright! Good Deal! Thanks for the pics!!!
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

One of the people in the picture is not a 'noob' - but she took at least two planes to get to Indiana to see her Gen Con friends. No way the mail would have worked out for her in time.

Thank You in advance....
