Zonk's Journal: More Pen and Paper?

The games section is primarily intended to be about videogames, but I enjoy the hell out of pen and paper gaming. I consider it a rare treat to be able to cover something truly momentous in that genre, because while good products come out all the time 'news' in the industry is rarely a "Palladium-closing" level of import. 'Steve Jackson Games moves to new office space' is noteworthy, but not all that interesting outside of the sphere of dedicated gamer. Just the same, there were a lot of cries for more PnP gaming coverage in the comments to yesterday's book review.

I'll try to keep my eyes peeled more often for really interesting news, but there just really isn't that much to report on. People's comments about other companies is well seen ... I probably should have included Mutants and Masterminds 2.0 in this review, but I just plumb forgot. As for another games editor, I don't think that's in the cards. :)

If you're interested in gaming news, the best source on the web is GamingReport.com. They keep up with all the tabletop companies, and send folks to the big conventions. Great folks, though they don't always have the most well thought-out coverage.

In any case, I'll do this more often than every six months. Like I need an excuse to buy more RPG books ...
