		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine sent me this. I actually really appreciated that story. I sometimes struggle with what it is that makes someone a &#8220;good role player.&#8221; I don&#8217;t think that characters HAVE to keep things that characters wouldn&#8217;t know secret from the other players, as in the story, but the reveal there would have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you&#8217;ve probably heard, Dio died yesterday at 67 years young. This is actually probably the saddest I&#8217;ve ever been about a celebrity dying, to be honest. When you&#8217;re a nerdy sixth grader into music and fantasy and you flip on the TV and see this you&#8217;re sold forever. I had the pleasure of seeing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So a week or so ago I ran a game of 3:16 at the store. If you don&#8217;t know anything about 3:16, it&#8217;s basically Starship Troopers the RPG with a real stripped down rules system. Here are my thoughts on the game: 1) It was super fun. 3:16 is a really streamlined system designed to [...]]]></description>

Overall, though, the plots and story arcs have been interesting. Having said that, the sheer ability of anyone to fuck up [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll do a full post mortem on the cast this weekend, but I promise you: this is a game to watch. It inspires fantastic storytelling, has a great mechanic, and, what&#8217;s more, might be the single best &#8220;pick-up&#8221; game I&#8217;ve ever played [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post (see below) I blamed it all on system. Most systems encourage character investment/building, and have mechanics which don&#8217;t lend themselves to single, grand heroic gestures. Timo&#8217;s comment got me thinking, though. While that&#8217;s all true, this is also about both the players and the GM contributing to a certain kind of [...]]]></description>
