Muskrat Ramblings

And honestly, I might be stupid to think love is love but I do and you’ve waited so long and I’ve waited long enough for you. – “Mr. Harris,” Aimee Mann **** Doing some insane deadline work for a Big Corporation (TM). LOTS of fun stories to tell about Corporate Think (TM). …at some point. […]

Sorry about the lack of cartoons these last weeks. That’ll change very soon. Honest. Life’s been busy this year. One day, it’ll mean I have some great stories to tell. Here’s one I can tell now. PRESS RELEASE – February 13, 2005 For Immediate Release Rio Grande Joins the Out of the Box Family of […]

There is a HUGE announcement from Out of the Box that I’ll post Sunday, when it’s announcd at the New York Toy and Game Faire. I’m serious. In the hobby gaming world, this announcement will be very, very big. I won’t be going to New York year – too much work to do, here. Especially […]

Tons of stuff to post (Warpcon, London, Super Munchkin II, Superbowl, Danish Cartoons, American Cartoons, Cineplexity, New York Toy Show, Out of the Box, Life), but far too much work to do at the moment to post anything intelligible. Still, I need to post something, lest I be overwhelmed by Bendy Bus e-mails. Over the […]

Hmmm. Noticed that the cartoons I had to run this week didn’t actually run. Gak! Will look into that as soon as I’m home. **** Amazing news. Just found out that Apples to Apples was the number one selling TOY at Target, the week before Christmas. That’s “TOY,” all categories. Not “game.” In other words, […]

You know what’s great about being part of a games company? Choosing and pushing projects that are close to your heart. Picking out games that seem to be something a little different – something with a certain spark in them. Games you want to publish because YOU want a copy of them, dammit. As shouldn’t […]

Solicitation info being sent to distributors now. It’s been a while, but with Russia (hopefully) looming on the horizon, everything has to be done *ahead* of time. So we were finishing these off so that they can ship when announced (in April, I think), whether or not I’m in Russia. Much like Kobolds Ate My […]

The Warpcon 2006 logo for the T-shirts is done! Huzzah! Huzzah! With Louisa Marie waiting in the wings, this will be the last con I do for quite some time. (I may make an appearance at the GAMA Trade Show, but that’s a different beast entirely). After Warpcon, I’ll be taking much of the year […]

Today’s comic is based on a true event, I fear. Tomorrow, I am running my first large-scale minis game in years. Yes, years. Probably three or four, at least. It’ll be my once-annual holiday Man-O-War multiplayer gig, “Santa Claus Versus The Skaven.” And yes, I had an anxiety dream about this the other night. Just […]

Dewey Defeats Truman. Gore Defeats Bush. Bush Defeats Gore. Katerina misses New Orleans. No, no, says the media. We won’t rush to print stories ever again, trying to scoop the competition before all the facts are in. Ever. Really. Honest. No, no, said the mining company, beside them. We’ll fix those two-hundred plus safety violations. […]
