Yeah, I know. This is an event though. A spurt of articles on a single topic for a short period of time isn't out of order, I'd think...the only thing different this time is that I'm doing the preparation work as well as a report. I'll be back to other things following that. If nothing else, maybe I'll do an article on that Path of Fate book I read.

no, I agree. it's good. maybe no one else noticed, but around 2/3 of what has been and will be submitted besides your event articles have been RPG
it'll make a good change of pace.

Ah. Just couldn't tell from the words in your last post. Twelve point font lacks tone.

So that's my problem. No printer. Well, anyway, I've gotta finish Prerelease Tactics #2 up tonight. It's no good if people can't peruse it on Friday, and the pool of people we have going to the Prerelease is up to five at least.

Alright, it's done. Prerelease Tactics #2 has been sent over in three versions, two in HTML (the first just has an extra header I forgot to remove) and one straight out of the word processor just in case that helps for some reason. All three are Autocarded and should be ready to go.

What, exactly, does the summoning ritual consist of to summon me? More importantly, does it involve offering virgin girls to me?

Yes. Dead ones. Dead ugly ones, specifically. oh, and Koalas beaten with a stick. I hope this isn't a problem.

Sadly no virgin girls Tage. At least not my ritual. Thanks anyway, though.  ;)

What's a ritual without beautiful virgins?

Ok, there are two articles on hold. Neither are RPG so I don't remember what they're about. I'd run the non-M:tG article if you have a choice about that, since Prometheus will be submitting a report about it soon anyway, and we'll run that in the next day or so.

I managed to finally playtest Age of Mythology (boardgame) over the weekend, and it is MUCH MUCH cooler than I expected. I really enjoyed it, and despite is obvious appeal to players of games like Axis and Allies or video games like Age of Empires or Starcraft, it also had the rapt attention of my wife, who isn't interested in any of the above (the only real exception being Settlers). This one gets a good review, and that will be written tonight, while I'm still very excited about it.
