This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'm not wandering around the RPG areas much b/c I'm running a wargaming program at Origins, but there's a bunch of live video we're running both on Twitter
https://twitter.com/GrogHeads
and on Facebook

If you're interested in a variety of scenes from the show.

Again, sorry if videos that are a bit wargame-heavy aren't germaine here :(

Just returned from there as well. Nick & I were there for the last couple of days, and I'll have an After Action Report available in the next day or two with the usual photo goodness. Briefly though, It was another record year for Origins with attendance and more new games than I have seen in quite some time. THere will be some detailed posts shortly on as much of the new goodness as I could manage to fit into a couple of days.
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.
