For far too long, I’ve been on the fence about Google+, ConstantCon,
and the FLAILSNAILS phenomenon. My hesitance was due largely to technical
issues (lack of webcam and an older PC) and a few bad experiences with online
roleplaying games in the past. But this weekend I finally overcame my aversion,
bought a middle-of-the-road webcam from Best Buy, and dipped my toes back into
the Google+ pool. Thanks to several kind folks sharing their FLAILSNAILS/ConstantCon
circles with me, I quickly became acquainted with the OSR community on Google+.
This afternoon, I got my first taste of FLAILSNAILS gaming.
My technical worries proved to be baseless and my aging PC handled the hangout
without a problem. By the time the session ended, I was kicking myself for not
jumping into this sooner. The adventure took an entirely unforeseen turn, to
say the least, and I can’t wait to play again with my now seasoned FLAILSNAILS
character, Lemmikäinen.
Lemmikäinen, an elven Veteran-Medium, recently departed to
the wilds north of Cornwall in the company of Philip the Bloody and Nolan
Bracegridle. They returned some time later in command of a small sailing ship
and reticent to speak of their exploits along the coast. Lemmikäinen was last
seen shopping for new armor, his old suit of plate mail having somehow acquired
a large, neatly circular burn mark in the back plate.
Thanks to everyone I played with this afternoon for granting
me an unbeatable introduction into the world of FLAILSNAILS gaming. You know
who you are and why.
