Do you know? thanks. Sorry, but it is a chat room only. It lasts about an hour, and they don't usually put up t...

Christina@ConCarolinas June 3-5, 2011 (Charlotte, NC)

I'll be a guest at ConCarolinas again this year. I'm not running any C&C at this con, though. I'll be running two games of Rogue Mage, however. It's a post-apocalyptic game using tweaked Mutants & Masterminds rules. It is based on the Rogue Mage novels by Faith Hunter, who will also be in at...

Re: We need your help and feedback for this upcoming product

This looks promising. I hope the Troll Lord considers getting involved with Hero Labs, too. I have their Pathfinder tool, and it is quite good. I intend to purchase the add-ons for Savage Worlds and Mutants & Masterminds at some point.

This is a new convention taking place in Hickory, NC. There will be a strong presence of Savage Worlds folks there. As part of the Carolinas Crusade, I'm running C&C (in Zobeck) and Rogue Mage. This will be my second con of the year. http://www.justusproductions.com/index.php/justus/macewest/2/4...

Last year, there was no C&C on the schedule. I had a great time playing Savage Worlds games, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are going for C&C games--unless you can talk Omote into running some. :) Last year's Origins was good in that I got to meet Omote & Frost. :) I don't believe I ...
