My wife has a blog and it’s going to be mostly about Aion. She’s been playing for a while and really enjoys it. Since I’ve been doing things like writing, prepping an entry for the Escapist’s video contest and playing Dragon Age, I haven’t yet started my own adventures in Atreia. Should my wife acquire… Continue reading Aion's Allure

Trolls In Suits
Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Critics Criticism isn’t something you should fear. Even if it’s not meant to be constructive, criticism can be used to shore up your work. There will always be someone out there who will test your work for flaws and point them out for you. Some even… Continue reading Trolls In Suits
Everything's Cooler In Space: Mood Music
Kicking around in the back of my head as I work on novels, video entries and freelance gaming submissions, the sci-fi tabletop project continues to slowly but surely take shape. Assisting that is a few pieces of music. I’ll list them for you, talk about their merits & nuances, and what they mean to this… Continue reading Everything's Cooler In Space: Mood Music
Desert Bus '09
If you click on the above image, you will be transported to the wonder of this year’s Desert Bus event. What is the Desert Bus event, you ask? The gamer-loving folks from LoadingReadyRun have established a yearly event for the Child’s Play charity by playing a game in a marathon style.

Works in Progress III: Video Crossroads
The writing continues apace. I haven’t had another burst of words like last Monday night, but I’m still close to finishing another chapter of Lighthouse. I’ve been commissioned to write a Pathfinder adventure of 8-10k words, which I’m chipping away at with the hope of having something to deliver by the end of the week.… Continue reading Works in Progress III: Video Crossroads
Everything's Cooler in Space: It Ain't Rocket Science
Okay, I lied. I mentioned last week I’d go over more skills and perks, but seriously, what good will it do me to expound upon those aspects of the game if nobody wants to play it? So the question I’m going to try and answer should be obvious: why would someone want to play it?… Continue reading Everything's Cooler in Space: It Ain't Rocket Science
Jotting in the Margins: Do-Over
I picked up Dragon Age: Origins because I’m a sucker for both fantasy role-playing games and BioWare’s writing. Sure, they’ll dump extensive write-ups into your journal (or Codex in this case) at the slightest provocation and some of the conversations can be a little long-winded, but the writing is so good and the character stories… Continue reading Jotting in the Margins: Do-Over
Everything's Cooler in Space: Character Creation
I’m actually not going to spend much time on this today – I have a lot to do at the day job. So I’ll just put some of the notes I have on character creation for the sci-fi RPG here and see if anybody has any feedback. Attributes Body: Strength, Agility, Endurance Mind: Perception, Intelligence,… Continue reading Everything's Cooler in Space: Character Creation
Round the Table: D&D For All
When Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition was announced in 2007, the reaction was somewhat mixed. Much of the community had found 3rd Edition to be a little cumbersome, though less so than the THAC0 days of AD&D. While my memories of lunchtime dungeon crawls in junior high are no less fond these days, albeit somewhat… Continue reading Round the Table: D&D For All
Everything's Cooler In Space: Rolling The Dice
I know a lot of you folks are running around doing the Nanowrimo thing. You have my deepest respect and best wishes. If you want some really good advice that will make milk shoot out of your nose, go here. You’ll need to be drinking milk for it to shoot out, of course, milk won’t… Continue reading Everything's Cooler In Space: Rolling The Dice
