Battle of the Geeks: Installment Five
I'm back with another edition of Battle of the Geeks, in which I utterly trounce John in my claim to uber-gamer geekiness.
INSTALLMENT FIVE: ATTACKING THE GAZEBO
I have a motivational poster hanging in my office. No, not THAT kind of motivational poster ... the gamer spoof kind. It's one that makes me smile whenever I see it.
Okay, so, moderately geeky. Here's where the points really come in. The other night, my gaming group ATTACKED THE GAZEBO in our 4E game. Seriously. You know the drill ... the undead are rising and attacking our village, so we intrepid adventurers hack through the masses of zombies in the graveyard. But they keep coming! Then we notice THE GAZEBO OF DOOM. That's right, we ended up having to destroy the green-glowing gazebo in order to get to the arcane symbol underneath that was raising the dead, and then obliterate that.
And to top it all off, we had some crazy cool minis to suit the situation, courtesy of Bobbi's trip to the local Menards' post-Halloween sale ...
Why yes, that gazebo IS made of bones, thanks for noticing!
GEEK SCORE:
Michelle = 5
John = 1

Faerie to Press!
I wrapped up the layout for
Realms of Power: Faerie today, and turned the disk over to John. It should go to the printer imminently, and is on track for its February release. Yay!
"To Go" is Sold Out
The latest title to sell out from our warehouse is
To Go, which was the most recently published supplement for
Unknown Armies. Since the last couple of copies are leaving our warehouse today, you should still be able to find it through your favorite local game store, but when copies out on the shelves are gone, they're gone for good.
