That would be because Avalon is actually a different version of The Resistance from the same creators.

I love Bang!, especially the case it comes in. It really amuses me how similarly the renegade and deputy play out. Also last time I played everyone thought I was a renegade just because I was a very aggressive bandit who figured out that I could't lose if I killed everyone else and used a lot of explosives. No one…

I'm actually also playing an Ifrit in a Pathfinder game though she's a Quadiran princess and Elemental Bloodline (fire obviously) Sorceress. She had to learn Protection from Energy so she could protect her party from her own Delayed Blast Fireball.

I grew up going to Blizzard Beach with its fake snow. Then I moved to Chicago where the water parks have fake palm trees. It's sort of surreal.

I wish I had. Though I was a Tzimisce so I did give us all sweet tattoos. I'm still amazed I wasn't caught. Among the stunts I pulled were fleshcrafting a bag of vitae from another vampire into my arm so I could pass a Taste of Blood clan test and diablerizing a PC Malkavian so I could get insights into the Madness…

Any in particular? I'm always looking for new material for this series.

He does on occasion. He called Loki "Puny god" in the first Avengers.

A lot of the more obscure stuff comes from GenCon's First Exposure Playtest Hall, which is dedicated to games that are still in development, though some of the stuff played there winds up too half-baked to actually include.

Thanks! I think I made both Patient Zero and Pandemic: Contagion into actual disease vectors by playing them which amuses me more than it should.

I actually wrote a whole story about that: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

The highlight for me is always the insane LARPs you can't get anywhere else: namely The Rising and True Dungeon. I also do some tabletop RPGs with out-of-town friends I don't get to game with enough. Then the rest of my time is spent in the exhibit hall and playing board games, though this year I got an incredibly…

I'm the shortest at a mighty 5'2"

Hah. I was leaning back because I'm very short and was actually sitting on a blanket to be properly aligned with John and wanted to cover that up. In previous videos I was leaning forward to try to produce the same effect. The only thing repulsive in this shoot was the nut butter.

You could also do a search before drawing conclusions about my MMO experience. I'm Gameological's resident MMO junky:

Second Edition, though with a few house rules that I think keep it more balanced like banning Infinite Ability Mastery. Our mass combat system is also entirely home brewed and will be getting tested tonight.

That's the one. We're fighting Lintha and as far as I know there aren't any Infernals with them though I'm playing in another game that is highly Infernals focused. I find with just about any gaming book there's going to be plenty of stuff you want to ignore/adapt to your purposes. In this case my ST doesn't feel the…

I stuck with games that are in open beta now so interested players could jump right in and even then this is just a sampling showing what's going on with the hobby. A comprehensive list of all the digital CCGs in development right now would have been much too long.

I usually comb through Amazon's list of new releases and pitch a list of things that sound interesting. I like dystopian sci-fi and reviewing things from new authors which is why I picked this book.

(some spoilers here) I really wasn't looking for a feminist critique here. I love the book. But Holly being deemed a fallen woman and whore worthy of being raped by Cthulhu just because she gets drunk and considers having sex with someone who's not her gay, unfaithful husband seemed really unfair to me. But the minus…

I have read Mistborn both that book and the trilogy itself wrap things up neatly. Plus I actually believe him when he says The Way of Kings will be exactly 10 books. Perhaps I wasn't clear but I think he's an author who writes with an end in sight, even if he is working on a bigger project.
