Originally this particular type of Undying was found on the islands and coastal region of the Atlantic Northeast. They share many of the same traits as the undying found across the wastelands, appearing to be zombies or another type of undead. Over the centuries these creatures have migrated inland, always following waterways and staying close to large bodies of water. They are never found in deserts or more than five miles from a significant body of water. This can be a large lake (at least 10 miles in diameter), a significant river (such as the Mississippi) and are very common around the Great Lakes.

They are not such beasts. They are victims of the disease which has robbed them of their ability to think and reason, and as such could be considered undead, but they are living, breathing beings.

As the attention of most of us in the tabletop hobby is focused on the big gaming convention, Origins in Columbus, Ohio. The rest of us gamers, especially in the Greater Houston area is gearing up for Comicpalooza. I am so pleased that this convention is really making an effort to build up the tabletop division. Comicpalooza gives us gamers panels and lots of space for what we love most – gaming! In times past, a good majority of local game shops are in attendance in the vendor area and I expect the same this year. I know my wallet will be in danger, because I can’t go to an event like this without buying something or something(s) as is usually the case.

As I am very active in the local gaming scene, I am looking forward to seeing friends and acquaintances I’ve met at various Meetup groups. I also look forward to making new acquaintances as is usually the case because gamers like to meet and get to know other gamers. My excitement is building each day as Comicpalooza is fast approaching. For those of you who are new to the gaming scene, this event is the perfect opportunity to experience new games and meet others who share your passion for games.

I am excited to see what surprises are in store for the first d-Infinity Independent Game Awards. I am always on the lookout for games that work well with families because gaming is a family affair for me and my family. Although, my wife and children may not love it as much as I, they are still always up for a good game, which has become a way for us to spend time together as a family.

While at the “con”, I hope to catch a few of the panels and maybe, just maybe get a chance to play a session of Dungeons and Dragons 5^th Edition. I am totally excited about that.

So, I hope you are gearing up for a fun and exciting experience this year and I know I will see many of you there.
