Had a great time at GDex/CORGsCon in Columbus this past weekend (thanks, George Ziets)!

My very first workshop was well received and was also hilarious fun, and a number of people asked for a copy of the deck. So here it is! Feel free to copy, share, borrow.

I have finally learned the name of these spiky wooden barricades. In the West, they are chevaux de frise and in Ming China, jùmǎ (拒馬).

This song is so good.

Related, the @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social show in Detroit last month was such an experience I'm thinking about it a month later.

My high school had a lip sync contest. My friends and I chose Crazy Train, and I was Ozzy. I filled a rubber bat with hamburger meat, and during the solo I bit its head off and spat it into the lap of the head cheerleader.

Huge respect to #ozzy and thanks for showing us another way.

Ah yes. The best article title ever

The Sword Defiant by Gareth Hanrahan is exactly what I was looking for right now. Well written high fantasy in a vivid world, with political squabbles and factions threatening to tear apart an alliance against a clear evil. Plus an excellent exploration of the elven perspective on immortality.

When you become a game developer, they let you fix bugs for FREE!

They're better than puzzle games.

They're customized logic traps you made yourself!

in the waning days of the '80s and the early days of the '90s, Epic Comics released a short run of Hellraiser comics. One of the stories resonated with me through the decades, but I couldn't remember the name.

Today I found it! Vol 2, "Writer's Lament" by Dwayne McDuffie and art by Kevin O'Neill

New Star Wars continues to draw references and inspiration from the work me and the team at WEG did on the original Star Wars RPG. Here's an article that talks about our work and Andor.

My brother Scott doesn't use a lot of social media so I want to brag on his behalf:
He was honored as one of the STEM educators of the year by Geekwire! Here's a picture of him at the ceremony.

Never feel bad about a writing slump. It happens to everyone.

But also remember that the only thing separating "I don't know how to write anymore" from "I am the best writer who ever lived" is writing one thing that makes you happy, no matter how small.
