admin Just got home from DexCon. The con was hectic, but good. And there was a creeping tide of silliness in sundry places. I wasn’t able to get any time off work, so I didn’t arrive until 7:50pm on Friday. I was scheduled to run With Great Power… at eight. I had three players hungry for … Read more

It’s Sunday night and I’m beat. Origins was quite an enjoyable show. Much less busy, less pressured, less like work than GenCon. There was a bit of time to play, a bit of time to eat (the North Market rules!), a bit of time to shop, a bit of time to chat. Turn, turn, turn. … Read more
Hey, I’m at Origins in Columbus, Ohio. This is my first time at Origins, after trying to get here for more-or-less nine years. The drive went fine on Wednesday.

It’s the last day of May. I logged more than 200 billable hours this month (which means I was here longer than that). As far as most things I would choose to do with my life, May was pretty much a lost month. My embryonic games are just as embryonic as they were 3 weeks … Read more

Robert Rodriguez definitely knows what he wants to see and knows how to get it. The stories themselves were … well, … Read more
It’s 3AM. I just got back from walking the dog. Funny thing is, this was supposed to be my night to catch up on sleep after waking up exhausted 2 days in a row. After putting in a 12-hour day at work yesterday (today don’t look much better), we watched Mr. Howl’s Moving Castle from … Read more
My normal morning routine is: Alarm rings @ 5:20 AM. I pull on sweats and sneaks and walk the dog. Get back a bit before 6, shower & start the day. This morning I rolled out of bed, Pull on sweats and sneaks. I let the dog out of Daly’s room and take her out. … Read more
Cross-posted to my RPGtalk blog Been doing a bit of reading. There’s a trope in fantastic fiction that has deep roots. Many, many authors take great pains to assert that the fantastic events actually occured, and the papers have been entrusted to them through a definite series of exchanges as recounted in the Foreword, Introduction, … Read more
