This week I will be participating again in what my old D&D group established as Gamer’s Weekend, a mini-Convention of friends/acquaintances where it’s non-stop games in a house on a summer camp Jeremy’s mom owns. You could say it has the seeds to germinate into another ChupacabraCon or when I’m old and gray…GenCon!
So in honor of attending for the second time (Gamer’s Weekend VI!), I’m going to throw in some gaming-related posts until I head out. Heads up, the camp doesn’t have any real reliable Web access, meaning I will be mostly incommunicado from Thursday afternoons until I come home next Sunday.
Above is this really cool, clear-plastic miniatures’ aid called a Combat Tier™. What it helps with is showing where flying/levitating characters/monsters are during the game, usually in combat. It comes with bases nicely parsed out into one-inch squares representing five feet along the X and Y axes. It didn’t cost much neither, $40 to provide a better, more accurate representation.
