GamerMomLuna 🔜 PAX East<p>Started with a single badge and now it’s a tradition. My collection of PAX East and PAX Unplugged patches is finally framed and looking sharp! From 2012 to 2024 (plus a little PAX Online 2021), every one of these represents unforgettable memories, epic games, and awesome community. Can’t wait to add more!<br /><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/PAXEast" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PAXEast</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/PAXUnplugged" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PAXUnplugged</span></a></p>
Cannibal Halfling Gaming<p><strong>Eight Years of Cannibal Halflings</strong></p> 80% of a decade down, and things are about to get decidedly enneadic around here! 2024 has certainly been one of the years of all time, but how did we do around here and what might the future hold?

Cannibal Halfling Gaming<p><strong>Role-Playing Games in Psychotherapy: A Non-Therapist’s Review</strong></p> While roleplaying games can certainly allow players to explore certain things and work through some stuff, an important axiom to remember is that your GM is not your therapist. Therapy is a serious business, and you shouldn't be unloading your psychiatric needs on someone who is not trained to handle it (or try taking on those needs yourself, if you're the GM), for their good and your own. Unless, one supposes, they were your therapist first, and are now running a game for you as part of your usual appointment.&nbsp; Such is the purpose behind Role-Playing Games in Psychotherapy: A Practitioner's Guide by Daniel Hand.

Cannibal Halfling Gaming<p><strong>Tales of the RED: Hope Reborn – Cyberpunk RED Campaign Review</strong></p> For decades of R. Talsorian Games' Cyberpunk line (both in realspace since 1992 and in-universe since 2011), The Forlorn Hope’s been a bar where those Night City denizens who refuse to play by the Corporate rulebook go to unwind, connect, and reaffirm their humanity. But today (2024/2045), in the Time of the Red, The Forlorn Hope’s in trouble! Will this classic Night City institution die a whimpering death or survive and thrive, helping the next generation of cyberpunks navigate life on The Edge? Well in game that's a question only you and your Crew can answer... but in the real, we're going to be seeing how Tales from the RED: Hope Reborn can answer the same question!

Cannibal Halfling Gaming<p><strong>When The Walls Fall Review – Fallen Cities and Falling Dice</strong></p> The ancient city was originally founded as a place of study; a great library was its first building, and it remained ever its heart. However, the city grew to form the core of an unspeakable ritual, powered by harnessing a long forgotten god. Eventually, its distant neighbors could not tolerate the ideas it was spreading, and they attacked. That was when the walls fell, leaving a ruined city with a defaced statue at its heart... and broken roads, spreading corruption, and fanatics of that forgotten god bleeding out of it into the countryside...

Cannibal Halfling Gaming<p><strong>Solitaire Storytelling: No-Tell Motel Pt. 1</strong></p> Every night at the Stellar Motel is a menagerie of the human condition. From my place behind the desk and some plexiglass, I watch elites and lowlives rub elbows, get into fights, and fall into each other's beds. Last night was different: one of our guests was murdered, and no one seems much interested in finding out who did it or why. As part of my job as the overnight clerk of the 'No-Tell Motel' I'm supposed to help maintain the privacy of the guests, but I'm also supposed to keep an eye on them. The cops aren't going to bother much with this, but now we've only got fifteen regulars left, and I'm sure it had to be one of them that did the killing. I'm going to have to watch them all like a hawk, because I've only got one chance to get this right.

Cannibal Halfling Gaming<p><strong>A Brief PAX Unplugged 2024 Retrospective</strong></p> I haven't been able to attend every PAX Unplugged, but I was there at the start and as the convention circuit has grown back I've actually managed to chain a few of them together. In addition to noting as many familiar faces and games as I could manage for a middle-of-the-night article, I wanted to write about some of my own experiences now that the 2024 iteration is over to highlight a few things. Also, Aaron has been doing five-year retrospectives about Crowdfunding Carnival for a while now, so why not do a seven-year con one of my own?

To the con creators, exhibitors, vendors, panelists, performers, and attendees, thanks for another great #PAXUnplugged. A special shoutout to mutuals who shared their time and space, whether a few seconds to say hullo or longer for drinks and delightful conversation. Until next year!

#paxUnplugged aaaand that's a wrap for PAX Unplugged this yeah! we're out a little early, the whole group tired and ready to get home

found some more great things, and even picked up a new game! (entirely because a big part of it is space ships you put together like legos)

did find a set of dice, and a journal! even made a couple local contacts/potential friends

Overall, a fantastic three-day adventure 🩵 :heart_trans: :heart_nb:🩵

Last game of #PaxUnplugged was A Study in Emerald (1st edition), 5p.

I was a Restorationist/Revolutionary and I had one team mate who I linked up with early.

Did well in the early game of building a deck to cycle my hand easily, but sort of stalled when I couldn't get bombs mid-game. Took second to my teammate by 4vp.

This is one of those games that sings with experienced people and I we had 3/5 who were. Not my best game, but certainly not my worst.
