The Games (Almost) 100

The sketch from whence this weeks’ strips sprung. Plus Jervis Johnson’s e-mail. Meaning I must have had this idea sometime during last Warpcon.

I wonder how it would have differed if I’d written the series back then. Behind it you can see the sketch for one of the Guitar Hero strips I did a few months back…

I’ve got a great story about performing in Waiting for Godot, for a director now considered to be the wunderkind of British Theatre. But I shall leave that for when I have slightly less work.

Speaking of Existentialist Crises…

OK. I missed a few games that I’d consider major and semi-major releases, such as Apples to Apples British Isles, Apples to Apples Biblical (looooong story behind that one), Wild Side, Basari, Dork Frag and a couple of games from Dragon Magazine.

So right now, the Official List is standing at 94 games.

Meaning, at some point in the next year, if I keep on schedule, I should reach 100 games.

This, frankly, freaks me out a little.

By the way, anyone remember that Pirate game I did for Dragon? I loved that art (which, sadly, seems to have been stolen), but cannot for the life of me remember the name of the game…

EDIT: It was “Abandon Ship.” Damn, I loved the art for that one. A nice, double-spread pirate ship, going down…

****

Speaking of Dragon Magazine…just some miscellaneous art I stumbled across that I’d forgotten about.
