Okay, so my #maelstrom2014 post is a week late. It’s been a busy week. The convention was a good time, as always.

I have never had a bad convention experience at Dreamation, but this year’s was one of the best ever! Low stress, lots of excitement and enthusiasm on faces both old and new made for a very, very good time.

Camp Nerdly was a wonderful, awesome time this year. So very, very glad we went. Much thanks to all I played with, chatted with, or just smiled at. All of you reminded me why we do this thing called “play.” It’s been a while since I played. Nearly none since Dreamation three months ago. So … Read more
Thinking out loud about a Victorian age Buffy the Vampire Slayer game using the Mouse Guard rules over here.
