I had this whole series typed up before
I made the first post. This section keeps changing as the evaluation
shifts. I decided to go ahead and post this so we can move on even
though I know this is not the final state of what we have learned
from this first session.

The Story of Icons of Paragon City
The run was originally intended to be
six sessions with two one off sessions using different characters in
the same setting and using the same rules provided by the game
master. I missed one of the regular sessions so that was shortened to
five. The first one off session was Halloween weekend and saw the
players taking on the role of Universal Movie Monster clones funded
by an unhappy Council. The other one off we played Worms: Armageddon
as not many showed up as it was Thanksgiving weekend, but it was
going to see the players as Walmart employees in Paragon City
reliving Black Friday in a Groundhog's Day scenario. I guess I like
horror themed one off games.

The Origin of Icons of Paragon City
I am a member of some forums where some
of us would get together on Saturday nights and play games sometimes.
More often than not the game we played was Cards Against Humanity.
The game is fun, but you can only cycle through the same cards so
many times before the charm begins to wear thin. Roleplaying games
and an interest in trying them had been brought up a couple of times,
but no one had a real go at running a game for the group as far as I
know.

Actually, It's About Ethics in Game Journalism
The gaming community has been in what
might be seen as the precursory rumblings to the gaming equivalent of
a Civil War. The debate has to do with opinions concerning gaming and
have made practically everybody touching the subjects involved look
bad in the process. Gamergate is at the center of these debates as of
right now. I do not mean to suggest those that support Gamergate are
better or worse than anybody else, but elements from all sides have
done wrong over the course of the past few months and the topic of
Gamergate is featured heavily in those discussions right now.
