Avalon Mesa: Lance Franks
Jul 17
You’ve probably heard by now that the Illuminerdy are going to be at Gen Con Indy this year, and that we’re bringing a few games to share with you. One of those games is based on a short piece from a few months ago called Avalon Mesa, a pulpy mash-up of the Arthurian legendarium and an equally mythic version of the American Old West. When trying to take the Avalon Mesa out of a (very)...
Showdown on the Avalon Mesa (Savage Worlds) – Saturday 8:30pm-12:30am
Jul 16From Kennon “The Universe” Bauman: It’s been a long time since they dry-gulched his daddy, took the herd and the man’s gun. They didn’t see him a hidin’ beneath the haymound, and he made it out before the barn burned down.

But then I remembered that the amazing...
ENnies Ruminations — More Entries, Please
Apr 09
So I haven’t talked about it all that much here on the blog, but I’m one of the judges for the Gen Con ENworld RPG Awards (the ENnies) this year. This is not, technically, my first rodeo: I was also a judge in 2009. Our own d20Blonde was a judge in 2007 and 2008. Obviously, we’re invested. Even apart from that, I don’t think I’m stepping out of line to say that...
