After a week away from home at the Portal 2007 higher ed conference at Gettysburg College, I've returned home to an inbox overflowing with games. My Xbox 360 will be seeing heavy action this weekend as I put Shadowrun and Forza 2 through its paces, while my non-videogame moments will likely be consumed by reading The Mastermind's Manual and Lockdown sourcebooks for Mutants & Masterminds.

Finally, Friday night gaming arrived just in time with a return to the misty lands of Ravenloft and our ongoing attempt to find the long lost Amulet of Ravenkind.
