Welcome to Alpha Elementary, where the students are handpicked for enrollment and are trained to become the next leaders of the world. It is your last day before graduation and time for the awards ceremony, when something goes wrong. Will you face your fears and take your place among the leadership elite?This episode of Fire n Dice comes to you from Owlcon 2013 and is played through using Monsters and Other Childish Things rule set. This intro episode runs smoothly and is a great start to what could become a wonderful campaign. As you'll see in later episodes, however, the time constraints of running a four hour convention game tend to rush story, but a fun time was still had by all.

As we come to the conclusion of our convention game, I want to thank everyone at Owlcon for putting on such a wonderful event. I'm so excited to get to be a part of it all, but it's thanks to the wonderful coordinators that I get to meet so many new and different gamers from around the Houston area. Stay tuned for the next upload, Shin Megami Tensei (where we go off the rails and just have fun summarizing a game that was really way too big for a four hour slot...oops, that's just me with too many ideas and not enough time.) Also, Fire n Dice will be at Delta H Con in July, so come find me there. We're playing a much shorter Shin Megami Tensei in possibly a different system, and I will be trying my hand at the word and story game of Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple. And lastly, check out our facebook page and like us. We want to keep in touch with all our fans and would love to build so many more. So, until next game, keep your dice on the table or we'll light 'em up. 

It's been a long time since the last time I've posted and this year has been a real test on everyone. Just so you know, I haven't been on the blog site because I'm still trying to put together a solid gaming group, which isn't always easy, but I have been busy in the meantime. So let me just go over a few things that I've been working on and will hopefully have much more for you as 2013 approaches. First off, Owlcon 2013 is coming up mid February and I will be running Monsters and Other Childish Things as one of my games. I'm running a modded version of it I developed based off the Shin Megami Tensei line of Japanese games. The two games just seemed to complement each other. If you're not familiar with the series, it centers around a group of kids, usually teenagers, who get a strange program on their phone that allows them to summon demons as the world around them is being destroyed. The players use demons to fight other demons and uncover a dark and interesting story. The second game I'm running is Big Eyes Small Mouth, and this time I'll be running in my frontier setting of Marukah. It's called Six Gun Samurai and you play as warriors sent in to investigate strange happenings in a small town. If you've ever seen Sukiyaki Wester Django you'll have an idea of the kind of setting I'm going for. After I get those time sensitive projects taken care of, I have two stories I'm in the process of writing, two game systems I'm working on writing up and publishing, a group I'm putting together for more campaigns and recordings, and continually developing the world I began with Anima so long ago. I will keep you updated as more becomes available. As for recordings, check back after Owlcon, or if I can get players together, much sooner. Believe me I want to play again, too.

Our players are confronted with brujos from Sinaloa, their pursuers since the events that they cannot recall. How will they survive such a devastating attack?Also, after this episode was recorded, the players have decided to take a break for holiday events, faire, and preparing for a new family addition. It is undetermined yet when this storyline will continue. Fire n Dice is looking for new players to continue the Kamigan storyline, so leave a comment if you are interested and live in the area.
