Illuminated Site of the Week
If you like video games and have a wicked sense of humor, you likely already read Penny Arcade, a webcomic with enough followers to pull off their own massive convention. How big? Big enough to crossover from digital games to the board and card game hobby, with a vengeance. And we're going to go!
Last year, Will, Randy, and Phil attended, and had a great time. The staff was fantastic, the attendees delightful, and the weather, mysteriously, was sunny and pleasant. (Isn't Seattle supposed to be overcast 24/7?) This year, we're adding a couple of people to the roster -- myself and SJ, to be precise -- as well as the Munchkin mascot, for those of you with cameras in hand, or on your phone/DSi/mobile device.
We'll be running Revolution!, The Stars Are Right, Frag Gold Edition, and the recently announced Nanuk. Seeing us at a table of Munchkin and Munchkin Quest isn't out of the question either. Heck, we may even roll some d6 for a GURPS game, if we get a chance!
If you're attending, look for us in the open gaming area, playing games. If you spot us in the exhibit hall, we'll be staring slack-jawed at Valve's zombies and Ubisoft's assassin, or guzzling Mana Potions, or going deaf by hanging around Harmonix. I also have it on good authority that Genesis Games & Gizmos will be on hand, with fully stocked shelves ready for your Munchkin impulse buys.

Warehouse 23 News: e23: Keep the Peace! Or Not.
Your call. Pyramid #3/10: Crime and Grime isn't judgemental. It'll just offer up seeds and advice for running games involving the law in the forgotten days of yore, when things were all magicy and stuff. And for getting soap scum off your shower tile.
