In a year and half filled with dispiriting news and developments, sometimes the world whispers in your ear that not all is destined for despair.
A friend who had had a catastrophic health crisis over two years ago that had left him incapacitated made unexpected contact with me recently. I hadn't heard from him in two years, and assumed I wouldn't again. But the world is a funny place, and his hard-fought recovery not only brought him back from the brink, but brought him across the country to the very city I currently live in.
When I invited him over to the house a couple of Saturday's back for our first-ever game, I wanted to get something on the table that I felt we could pick up quickly and was confident would be fun. I settled on my thoroughly playtested adaptation of the Conan yarn, "Beyond the Black River" using my modified version of the Sellswords & Spellslingers rules. This was the first convention game I had ever run, and I've now GM-ed it at several more conventions. We had a grand time!
You can read at my blog about this unexpected reuniting with a friend and our fun time playing a miniatures game together, a hobby near and dear to both of us.
