You can always tell how frantic my Fridays are (and thus, how much I really, really need a Game Day) by how long it takes this column to get online. Yesterday I had a working lunch out of the office, and didn't even sit down at my desk until 3 p.m.

Fortunately though, there was Game Day. Kicking off this week's gaming goodness was the arrival of my Savage Worlds core rulebook, which I've been eagerly anticipating ever since I registered for the Savage World of Solomon Kane and Sundered Skies GenCon events two weeks ago.
