For the Love of the Game

As you may or may not be aware, GenCon 2010 was this past weekend. (No, I didn’t attend.) Normally I wouldn’t really talk about it here, since I didn’t go, there’s not really any news from me that didn’t get gleaned from the panels there, and I’m pretty sure no one cares from my end. …

The Invasion Begins…

The Invasion Begins…

So I’ve been previewing this book for about a month and finally, it’s here. Well, okay, sort of here. It was released as an e-book late last night; it’s due as a print book soon. (And no, I won’t say when, just that it is.) This book is a big deal. Well, at least, it …

I did it partially because I outlined the …

And My Comment Is…

No comment. Okay, well maybe a small one. (Don’t know what I’m talking about? Some background here – this is my primary freelance client, of which I am an assistant line developer for one of their game licenses.) Regarding the actual events, I won’t comment. The official press release from Randall pretty much says it …

Why I Missed GenCon 2009…

Ok, so in this case the title doesn’t say it all. Actually, it’s just a lead-in to my thoughts that I’ve been gathering over the weekend. I did miss GenCon 2009 this year. First convention in about 10 years I missed and man, it was tough. As the weekend went on (and I watched the …
