Stuff I bought

[thebitterguy]

Since I can safely discuss my recent purchases without dumping any felines from their respective sacks (THANKS, Gary), Cindy & I went to the Kingston Gaming Nexus (coming soon to a new location!) yesterday.

I picked up Chez Greek, the latest in the Chez Geek series, and it's as delighful as the others. Really, I can't see why people don't like them. Even if you don't like drinking and casual sex, it IS just a game. Really, now.

Also got Requiem for a God, which isn't as easy to get into as I thought. Don't know what I was expecting, but it isn't grabbing me yet.

Not much else. Am planning on pillaging the HT boxing week sale, but aside from that it's quiet.

Requiem for a God, like much of Monte Cook's stuff, is both solidly done mechanically and painfully boring to read. The man may know d20, but he is a dull, dull, dull writer without any of the panache I expect from gaming products that have no useful application in my current campaigns.

Yeah, that may be it.

The two Elderitch Might books were enough in the Unearthed Arcana stream of things (crunch, crunch, crunch) to get away with a less than engaging style, but I'm finding it hard to get into Requiem.
