The Dragonfyre Association is a collective of unique individuals who share a deep and abiding passion for several things. Beer, games, and movies are primary among these. Formed in 1995 under the less-than inspired name of The Red Dragon Club, it morphed several years later into Clan Linnorm (taken from the linnorm dragons found in the 1st Annual Monstrous Compendium for AD&D). Somewhere around 2000 or 2001 the name was changed to the Dragonfyre Gaming Association, or DFGA for short. We are a closeknit group of friends living in the western suburbs of Minneapolis, MN.

Thoughts for a Game Day

No kidding it's been a while. Well, I've been thinking, and thinking, and thinking, and sadly not playing. Aaron has a new Fantasy Craft campaign but sadly that's already falling victim to the dreaded "missing players in a small group" attack that seems to crop up at an alarming rate. All for good reasons, of course, so no hits there, just a reality of trying to play an ongoing RPG campaign with mid- to late-20s adults.

So I've been thinking about the best way to rectify this. I've got some ideas, and I'd like to repurpose this blog as a sounding board for those ideas. I'll post something in a few days once I work out a few kinks, but my idea is a sort of open game day - a day in the week devoted to gaming of some sort, including RPGs, board games, card games, and MAYBE video games (though that gets a lot of attention anyway). No ongoing campaign, essentially a series of one shots or one shot like campaigns sprinkled amongst other gaming related things.
