“It matters not what you fight, but what you fight for”
Working on a Sunday, damn them (I am not even allowed moral outrage for working on the Sabbath, damn my (sexy) pagan hide.) Luckily, it's a bit quiet, so I'm going to see if I can read Dice Box, because it's always looked fun.

This made me laugh this morning: Verb that noun.

Picked up The Mouse Guard RPG recently, because I'm a big fan of the comics, and it's swiftly jumped to the top of my 'Games I want to run' list. (Surpassing Unknown Armies and Delta Green). Partially, this is because of the way the game is put together: It's written with new gamers in mind, and the game itself is designed to focus on the roleplaying elements of being a small heroic mouse in a huge, scary would full of owls, bears and suprise blizzards.

Mostly though, it's because it looks flat out fun. If it plays the way it should, it would be one of the most immersive and entertaining RPG's out there, without being the pain to run that a lot of immersive games can be. (*cough* Nobilis.) Glowing reviews of Mouse Guard can be found here. Some day I'll run it, some day.

ION: I may be in Birmingham next weekend. Note the may, but it'd be awesome to see people.
