Muskrat Ramblings

This is possibly the most interesting review I’ve ever received. I’ve always had a soft spot for SnapDragons, so forgive me for posting it here. Robert Preuss Editor, Poetscollective.com THE GAME’S AFOOT Snapdragons, children, and the creative intellect My sister’s pre-teen boys have been hooked on video gaming since they could manually operate joystick controllers.

OK. A little good news… DORK TOWER 35 should be in most stores tomorrow! Huzzah, huzzah! A Dork Tower Christmas story out before Christmas? What a concept! Seriously, I’m really psyched about this issue. It was a ton of fun to do, and it’s a little off the beaten path. So bug your local comics […]

Very short entry, today, since there’s a ton of work I’ve gotta do, and it’s already past 9 a.m. here. Yeah, I died in the Infection game last Saturday. Why? Because I went to the gym. To do something healthy. Like not dying. The good news is, before gymming, I got a call from James […]

…for me, anyway. A friend of mine whose family has battled indifferent and incompetent state and local bureaucracy through four domestic adoptions punctuates every horror story by saying, “And every politician who talks about how children are the most important thing is lying.”

Tough, tough week, for a number of reasons that were not birthday-related. Thanks to all who sent birthday wishes, btw. That was really nice. I usually just try and cower in a dark place during it. **** Still: Good news on the gaming front. Not only has Cineplexity been at press for a while now, […]

I’m back in Madison, having seen my good friend Mr. James Wallis safely and happily married to the wonderful Cat Muir, in a small village in Suffolk disturbingly close to another small village called Dunwich. Actually, when I say I saw him married, I actually didn’t see much of it at all: I was outside […]

Back from Dorkstock. Fantastic time. About to collapse. But must post some pics from a camera that was dropped twice, but still managed to function. I played so bloody many games that I didn’t take more than a handful of snapshots this year. Here are a mere few highlights: Army of Dorkness and Dorkstock Goddess […]

Small unfortunate news about Dorkstock/Rock-Con: I’ve so much work to do right now, along with a friend’s fifth wedding anniversary, AND another friend who gave birth at 6 am this morning, that I may not make it down today. I will be there tomorrow and Sunday (leading once more to the ever-popular “What Time Will […]

Dorkstock/Rock-Con is a mere week away (November 3-5). And it’s gonna be a BLAST. Lots of games to be played. Out of the Box, Steve Jackson, Fantasy Flight (including the first OFFICIAL Mag*Blast third edition tourney), and others. (For heaven’s sake, Scott “Igor” Olman will be running Kobolds Ate My Baby again! The prize here? […]

Just noticed 1600* people have now friended my LiveJournal blog, so…um…I’d better post something. **** British Isles Apples to Apples should be in stores UK- (and Ireland)-side by this point in time. About bloody time. 🙂 If you’re not in the UK, you can now get the British Apples version over at the Out of […]
