UCI RPG club playtest part 2
In my last post I mentioned that I was struggling with instructing people how to create and push conflicts. Either I’m explaining it poorly, or I don’t have a grasp on what it is that I do when I play with my regular group. I’m not sure how to approach this topic…

back from gateway!
I just got back from gateway. I had a great time, as always. I was able to playtest unWritten 3 times and learned several new games.
Aside from unWritten I played;
Star Wars Saga Edition! It was very disapointing. I thought it would have made some improvements over standard D20 3.5e… nope, it was the same exact [...]
