Frog Blog
I'm absolutely charmed by the lost frog meme, a child's poster for a lost frog that internet funsters have run with a la All Your Base. L & I have been telling one another, "I lost my frog!" "Him name Hopkin green frog!" and chortling over our deathless wit all week. I even posted my own modest contribution to the meme.
Last night we tried out an Akira-Kurosawa-meets-Reservoir-Dogs roleplaying game called The Mountain Witch, which I really liked, but I think I ended up in the minority on that subject. I did make one huge mistake in how I ran it, a rookie error that pretty much mystifies me. In the long run, I think my skin might be too sensitive to keep trying to sell these indie games to our Ad Hoc crew. I wrote a loooong post about the game and how it went on the Forge. I should write something about it for the 20'x20' Room, too, pitching it there not as feedback for the author, but for a more general audience. I feel bad about how derelict I've been at 20'x20' lately. I've still got a half-written post waiting around about my Paranoia game back in September. Say, isn't the 20'x20' Room's one year birthday like, tomorrow, or the next day? Maybe I can do something with that.
I also posted something today for Veterans/Remembrance Day on the newly unveiled www.robmacdougall.org, backdated to conceal my tardiness. Mucho blogging!
p.s. I'll find my frog. Who took my frog?

And I don't think Mountain Witch did anything that Wyrd or Wushu or just about any other games does in bringing characters to life quickly.
That said I thought you did a great job qwith the game and shouldn't sell the session short.

That's possible, but I don't think any of them were games I ran.

Thanks. See Bryant's post and my response, below, re: separating criticism of the game system from criticism of the GM. Intellectually, I know they're not the same thing, but it's easier said than done.
