No, it is not 1999 all over again. I am, however, doing a production blog for the next phase in creating the With Great Power, reimagined edition. Why a production blog? Because I have a busy life and have no project manager to nag me about getting stuff done. Also, it is months until my … Read more
DEXCON is one of my favorite conventions, I think it’s fair to say that this DEXCON was the best yet! Vinny, Avie, and the entire Double Exposure staff always put on a great show and go above and beyond to be welcoming. Unfortunately, I came home with a bit of a cold, so my thoughts … Read more
Camp Nerdly always holds a special place in my heart. The scenery is great. There are plenty of people I only get to see there. It has more opportunity for me to display my pitiful Frisbee skills than all other game conventions put together. This was our fourth Nerdly, and certainly the best one yet. … Read more
Philly Games Con was a good con, and both well-attended and well-run. Neither are to be taken for granted at a first year event. I was impressed and would return again. Kudos to Dave and the Philly Games Con crew for a great debut. Friday night, I got to play in a game of … Read more
So, Maelstrom 2015 was a very good time. It’s a small convention, emphasizing quality over quantity. As always, Avie and Vinny and the Double Exposure crew do a great job making everyone feel welcome. And this is the con where they just let the magic spontaneously happen. We didn’t arrive until later than I wanted, … Read more
Over on Google Plus, James Stuart asked about the history of the IGX. I started typing, and I wanted to preserve it somewhere that I wouldn’t lose it. https://plus.google.com/u/0/112165300112510479765/posts/GDDVGX2GPqw Holy smokes, how much detail do you want? Most importantly, how much detail do I want to write? *Prehistory* The IGE did not leap fully formed from … Read more
Dreamation is always phenomenal, and this year was no exception. The work that Vinny and Avie and the whole Double Exposure staff do to make the convention seamless is a wonder in its effectiveness and its invisibility. Thanks to each and every one. Now, here’s the fun I had: Thursday 8pm Event: *Kagematsu* “The Grand … Read more
I think this was the best time I’ve had at Metatopia yet, and that’s saying quite a bit. Many thanks to Avie and Vinny and our hard-working hospitable hosts from Double Exposure for making this amazing gathering possible. *With Great Power* My first moments at the convention were the first playtest of my newly-revised kappa … Read more
I’m rereading +Judd Karlman’s Dictionary of Mu. I can probably count on my fingers the RPG setting books I actually like, and this one stands head and shoulders above them all. At its root, I’d say the best thing about the Dictionary is that it has a point, and it drives that point home like … Read more

Despite any possible obstacles, +Avonelle Wing and +Vincent Salzillo and the entire Double Exposure family continue to present the most welcoming and fun filled conventions around. This year they even trumped the Fourth of July! FRIDAY My con started Friday morning with a rousing game of The … Read more
