Lights! Camera! Action! Approaches to action scenes in RPGs are our focus this month, with some news about KevCon and some other stuff. And, we beg for art!

Keep sticking pins on the Frappr Map. Still no South Americans…

I’ve been playing Godlike and Arc Dream has been having a sale – get Will to Power and the Talent Operations Manual, plus the adventure Donar’s Hammer, all for $30 plus $5 shipping anywhere in the world! A great deal!

Call of Cthulhu fans who haven’t yet seen the Worlds of Cthulhu magazine/book (“mook� here in Japan…yeah, yeah, I know) would do well to check out this successor to the defunct Unspeakable Oath. It’s got some great stuff in it, and is usually chock full of adventures and campaign ideas, plus other useful articles.

I like miniatures a lot and I have been painting quite a bit this month, particularly some figures from a UK company called Pig Iron. Another manufacturer called Urban Mammoth also has some very interesting minis lines. Do have a look if you’re so inclined.

Gaming in J-Land

KevCon is a JIGG event that goes back about 14 years now. Hosted by the unstoppable Kevin Burns at his imported Canadian house in rustic Odawara (I’m embellishing, yeah). It’s part of our tradition of “house cons� where we all (well, those JIGG members who have the time and inclination) get together at someone’s house for a weekend and just game, game, game!

KevCon this year will be held from August 11th to the 13th. There is no fee, and anyone interested in going should contact Kevin Burns at [e-mail]

Feature: Action in RPGs

It’s no secret that Cam and I are fans of high-octane action scenes in our games. Our feature this month looks a bit more closely at what makes action scenes tick, and our approach to running them.

The cinematic tone that we like we find to be best facilitated by rules-light games, so we’re curious as to how those of you who like crunchier games handle action. Can you move them along quickly, or is this not a priority for you? Inquiring minds want to know?

Review: Castles & Crusades

Castles & Crusades by Troll Lord Games is a way for people who don’t want to play D&D 3.5 to play D&D a lot like the way you remember it from the Old Days (if you can still remember that far back…)
