Jihad – the Experiment
NOTE to all US Government cyberpolice – this is about a game, not current events. Thanks for playing! So anyway. Over the last 10 days I helped our intrepid BattleTech Line Developer crash-edit several of the chapters for the upcoming Jihad Hot Spots: Terra universe plot book. I did it partially because I outlined the …
Ice Time
I find myself in possession of a few minutes before the final regular season game of the Washington Capitals (against the Boston Bruins) so I thought I’d jot down some thoughts regarding the opportunity the Capitals have given me over the last few months. Back in January, I was discussing (via email) with Tom – …
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 …
And the Wheel Keeps On Turning…
Happy New Year! I resolve to write more in 2010 than last year – 2009’s total paid (and WLDC) word count, including blogs, articles, press releases, books and whatnot (not counting personal doodling and blogging here) exceeded 65,000 this year – and to make a dent somewhere. Now, understand, that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll write …
A Time of War, in Beta
If you’ve not heard the news by now, Catalyst Game Labs has released for a limited time, their new core rulebook for the BattleTech RPG in a “beta release.” For $10, you can download the PDF, go hunting for errors, submit a ‘story seed,’ and then get the free, full upgrade when the final version …
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 …
Happy First Anniversary, WLDC!
In 2008 a crack blogging team was bound by restrictions of a blogging organization they didn’t build. These men and women promptly escaped from the shackles of the oppression to the freedom of WordPress. Today they survive as a radical bloggers in the nation’s capital. If all you see is the politics, if no one …
Update Randomness, Part Whatever
I’ve got a few minutes, so here’s some random rundowns: 1.) Still jobless. It’s been a hard three months, with over 150 resumes and covers gone out and nary a word in return. I have had a couple of interviews, but nothing panned out so far. The biggest encouragement I suppose is that I’m only …
Storm Warning
‘On The Ice’ courtesy of ‘brookeBAMF’ I really, really wanted to do up a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals between the sixth seed Carolina Hurricanes and those pesky upstart fourth-seeded Penguins. Especially since Game 1 opens tonight at the Igloo. Alas, I don’t have the time. I realize many people don’t know the extent …
