More Tokens in Combat

June 1, 2014 Mook 4

May 11, 2014 Mook 1

Sweet Metal Fate Dice

April 29, 2014 Mook 1

June 26, 2013 Mook 19

A few years back, I used Kinko’s/FedEx to combine my GURPS Characters and GURPS Campaigns into a single volume. It looked like this:             It served me well through many a GURPS campaign, but I […]

Gamex 2013 – Part 1

June 21, 2013 Mook 1

Well, Gamex 2013 ended a few weeks ago, and I have finally recovered enough for … post-convention wrap up time! Short version is, I pre-regged for 8 games but only managed to play 5 1/4 (due to feeling like poo […]
