Workspace and Headspace

I’ve been finding it incredibly difficult to find time to do things-I-want-to-do, the things-I-need-to-do and things-I-have-to-do. Many of the things-I-should-do, don’t get done… because I simply forget. This isn’t old age setting in however. I work and I’m parent. That pretty much sums me up today. Add on top of that that we’ve moved into [...]

Frustrating!

… and just a little soul draining. My last few entries on my blog have all been about the Game Crafters Guild website and mostly technical in nature. Here, here and here. I thought the idea behind the GCG site was/is a good one. It would be something I would contribute to and participate in. [...]

A mental doodle for the first day of september…

I think I mentioned that an earlier post about something I call “mental doodles”. Like writing without a fixed purpose. I haven’t done one in a while but today I just felt like it and wrote this. Opinions and comments? (Click the “Read More…” to see it. If your reading this on LiveJournal, well I’ve [...]

Writing, huh?

What’s going on? This is my second post in one week. Have the immortal Watchers woken up from their vile degradations? Have the secretive Authorities kicked-started their master plan? Have the walls of the world cracked and the Nameless one’s non-defined tentacles stretch out into our world? Ehhh, no. Related Posts:A little flash fiction for [...]

Designing Good Roleplaying Adventures

I saw Nick’s post on LJ about how many adventures and other gaming stuff he’s written and ran. It made me start thinking about my own work which is certainly not as prolific as Nicks. In all the adventures I’ve ran, I can count on one hand the number I think were good or successful [...]

Will that technically make me a published writer?

I’ve been battling away in work and the war has drained me right to the gutter so it was nice ego boast when I got a reply from Grey Ghost Press.

Blame it on the Quantum!

“Don’t blame it on the sunshine, don’t blame it on the boogie, don’t blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the quantum…” Doesn’t really rhythm does it? I picked up three books to read over the holiday season seeing I was going to be away from home for the period. One was a space [...]

My article in FudgeFactor!

Yay! Go me! My article “Roleplaying Large Scale Battles” finally got accepted and published in FudgeFactor.org. You can read it here. At some point I’ll put a copy of it on my website. FudgeFactor.org is an ezine for Fudge (as in the Roleplaying System) and Roleplaying stuff. They have a decent standard of quality and [...]

By now we should have ordered the curtains… Well, eh, we’re still living in the Tramyards. Everything is packed, ready to go. We just dont’ know when. It was stressful [...]
