Lazy GMs Redux

My article on Lazy GMing has received a few honors.

As mentioned before, it has now been published in RPGReview #8
Also, an enterprising RPG.net poster who goes by "Hoodiecrow" made this very nice PDF Document, and including some of my responses to comments on the article. It can be found here.

I'm floored by all the enthusiasm this little article of mine has received and would like to thank everyone who commented.

I am requesting character biographies for Hellfrost to be completed and sent to me or published on the site under the Hellfrost Page by this Thursday evening if possible. 
UPDATE: I have created a Character Questionnaire to help facilitate this. 

And the winner is...

Hellfrost! With 22/25 points, Hellfrost is the clear winner. I will be posting some information about the setting here over the next two weeks. We will make characters and cover the rules on June 27th, and begin the campaign shortly after. I hope everyone is as excited as I am by the new game!

Cast Your Vote

posted Jun 11, 2010 10:52 AM by Rich Canino

We're going to start a new campaign for our group. I've sent out five campaign pitches to everyone. I would like all members to rank them in order of preference, 1-5. Once all the votes are in, I'll tally them up and the campaign everyone likes most will begin prep and we'll start making characters. If none of the settings appeal, please say so and we'll start with a new round of voting with new campaign pitches. 

The five campaigns are:

Hellas, Mars, Hellfrost, Legends of Steel, and Desolation. See the campaign pitches on the e-list, or most of the write ups are available in The Short List

We can discuss these in more detail at our next gathering.
