A Year of Silence (and broken websites)
I didn’t think I would be spending a year trying to fix a website, and yet, here we are. Settle in; this is a long one. At the beginning of 2023, I was still hip-deep in unpacking from my move. Honestly, I was overwhelmed, and while I tried to enter the Portland/Vancouver scene, I found…

Genghiscon Wrapup – Reevaluating My Games
I know, Genghis was almost a month ago. I’ve been trying to parse this out in my mind. I run two games at conventions right now. One shots in Serenity rpg and a satirical fantasy game in Cortex rpg. I’m having two issues. I’m running out of ideas for Serenity games and MW productions has…

Running Serenity RPG
As most of you know or some of you (who reads this?) I run games using Cortex, most with the Serenity RPG rules. Running games in ‘Verse is, well, problematic at best. After all this is an unfinished universe spread across various media. I’ve been thinking of the do’s and don’ts of playing in this…

Nourishing my Inner Gamer
Merry Christmas, Happy Yule all! The majority of my gifts this year have been video games. Yeah me. My inner gamer has been horribly malnourished. I’ve been busy, so very little Wii or Playstation time and my computer has only been functional for about a week. This week, with little distraction, I sat down to…

There is no Quantum of Solace
Because the Bond movie was so unerring BAD, that it even beats out Roger Moore’s worst days as the jet setting spy player. How bad was it? Think Episode 2…now very carefully insert a writer’s strike in there. Yes, that bad. They rewrote Casino Royale characters, they butchered the plot (plot should NEVER happen off…

Labor Day Weekend ’08
So this weekend was Tacticon. Three of my games went off. It looks like the Vampire Hunters left Kilkore and the crew of the Winding Leaf added to the their list of felonies three-fold. It’s definitely a complete weekend when some one groans, “Oh I remember this moral dilemma, thanks.”It is an interesting social experiment…

Getting Back to Writing Novels
So back to writing the novel since the gaming thing dried up. Still working on payment from another gig. And I have finish up my modules for Tacticon. 2 slot zeros to go, one running and one playing. For a short convention I still have a lot of work to do.

Oh My God My Butt Hurts
Snot has died. This is depressing on a lot of levels. He and Puke have been a mainstay of my Ren Fair going for many years. We got to see one of (if not his last) show here in Colorado. I happened to have recorded it. Really glad I bought that camera. My Wii Fit…

Worldcon: Denvention 2008
Gaming at Worldcon was a blast. Should I ever do this again, I’m requesting ribbons that say, “Gaming, the red-headed bastard step child of Worldcon”. The Montreal blurb on gaming makes me go into hysterical giggle. I’m sure I’m scared for life. Like I said, a blast. Friday I helped set up the TOR party…

Worldcon Day Two – Tired
Besides me leaving the Fluxx stuff out…ack…it’s safe. Thank you hotel folks. All went well. Several folks lost their shoes and some one lost their pants. I left the pants under the table I found them..again…thanks hotel staff for getting that. Some games went off, some games did not…but we were very busy and even…

Worldcon Day One – Lost
I was so busy I nearly walked my feet off. Let me tell you: Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Cream is instant relief. I got to the hotel and could not find Filk Storage. Because room I was told was Filk storage was storing Filks. I ended up at Real Ops as apposed to Other Ops…

Ren Fair, Writing, and Worldcon
So Ren Fair this weekend was mostly boring…except something extremely notable. And I have video…should get to that tonight. It’ll be my premiere youtube video. I have gotten a writing side job. And that’s all I can say. NDA and all. I’ll give more details in October. It’s video game writing so this should be…
