Over in The Kat Box, my wife makes a good point: Identifying and labeling patterns of behavior is useful in understanding how they work, why they happen, and how to change them.

I’ll be running a new With Great Power… event called “They Came From Beyond!” It’s a thematic crossover with Tony Lower-Basch’s Capes tournament. We’re … Read more
It’s January and sales data is thick in the air. Here’s a smattering I’ve found: Keith’s data on 2005 Conspiracy of Shadow sales Clinton’s data on 4th quarter 2005 Anvilwerks sales Vincent’s data on 2005 Dogs in the Vineyard sales Matt’s data on 2005 Primetime Adventures sales My sales for With Great Power… since the … Read more
Here’s a thought on how the Indie RPG Explosion at GenCon might work: What if, in addition to any scheduled games people want to run, we schedule an open table in each and every timeslot? We make sure there is at least someone there at the table and that they have *some* game ready to … Read more
Kat, my wonderful wife, has launched Lightfoot Letter eZine. She’ll be posting a new addition to the story every Wednesday. I’m honored that she chose one of the stories we freeformed together to be the first entry. I love Kat’s writing and think you will, too! Check it out!
