Some interesting reading, and suddenly I wish I lived closer to Erie, PA. (I did visit Erie once for my wife's family reunion, but not the same time as a game con.) Everything I've seen and/or read about Rob would indicate that he runs a great game, and I wish I'd been there for that one!
Seriously, while some folks say there are too many "old school philosophy" style games out there, I say there is always room for one which is well written and well supported and I suspect the DCC RPG will be both. If you look at the games out there, only
Castles & Crusadesis being given big-time game company support. (I don't mean to bash Brave Halfling, Goblinoid Games, or other companies who are trying to support S&W, LL, and other products, but they aren't as big as Goodman Games!) I'm hoping that the DCC RPG will be big enough so that if I drop by my local Barnes & Noble Booksellers I would see copies on the shelf. Now that would be cool!
Any playtests scheduled in the Chicagoland area?
