Over in his Ronnies thread, Ron posted about mutualism and the Ronnie Awards It’s led me to some thinking about “the other side” of the Forge model. The standard Forge model, such as I understood it, is: Design the game that you would want to play. Produce it on the cheap. Sell it direct. All … Read more
Went to Bruce’s last night to play board games into the new year. Bruce has played a number of miniatures games. Ended up talking with him about why I want to investigate miniatures gaming as research for the kingship game (also referred to as The Game Aria Was Meant To Be). Also talked with Kat … Read more
Yeah, it’s been forever and a day since I updated this thing. Life happened. A lot. I could spend lots of time going into it, and maybe I will. But not now. I think I figured out another reason why most of my game designs do not use dice. It comes back to the social … Read more
Kat signed us up for NetFlix, partially because our old video store that had a bit of anime got bought by a chain. I hate chains. Our new video store doesn’t even have Spirited Away.

Check it out. I’ve posted my prep for the Burning Wheel game at the Burning Wheel forums and also at the Forge. It’ll be interesting to see what, if any, splash they make in the two different audiences.
I’ve got a few balls in the air, gaming-wise. Here’s my current gaming-related to-do list, in no particular order: (BTW, I don’t know how to use cuts to hide most of the entry behind a link, so I apologize for the length) The almost-weekly PTA game I’m Producer for the Monday night PrimeTime Adventures game … Read more
Very, very busy week last week. Started off with recovering from Southern Exposure, only to find that Carl had reviewed WGP on RPG.net He’s was very complimentary, and there was no real fire in the discussion thread, which I kinda screwed up anyway. But there was a small spike in orders, so it’s all good. … Read more
