a very limited (I mean VERY limited) autographed book lottery
Yesterday, I said: I found nine hardback copies of The Happiest Days of Our Lives that I must have put there when they first arrived at my house a couple of years ago. They look as perfect as they did the day they were taken out of the box. So I have this idea to sell them, that goes like this:...
What, no Guinness?

good afternoon
This is one of those times when a picture is worth a thousand words.
I LOOOOOVE mornings like that, but since we don't have pets, it's usually my kids coming in and hugging my wife and I awake with the older ones bringing in my morning coffee.
Being a Dad is the best "job" I've ever had!

good morning
I woke this morning to the sound of rain falling outside my window, and discovered that both of my dogs had jumped up onto my bed overnight and were snuggled into me to keep warm. When I lifted my head from my pillow, I saw that both cats were also on the bed, tucked into tiny little "I really w...
Love both of those, fantastic! Now when is the "Rudy the Undead Hound" shirt being released? ;)
"Ru-Ru-Ru-Ruuuuuuudy!"

marshmallow meeps and an 8-bit wwdn coat of arms
Yesterday, the final two T-shirts in the first round of my collaborations with Jinx were released. First up, Marshmallow Meeps! Like Rules Lawyers, this idea amused me greatly, and I was shocked to discover that someone hadn't done this already. Maybe it's too small a slice of overlap in the...
I am so proud to be old, I knew what it was for long before looking at the poster! Thanks for sharing those gems, I would love to have them up on my walls!

we have always been at war with the mcp
A couple of nights ago, Anne and I spent over an hour watching cold war propaganda and education films on the Internet Archive. Those movies are just fascinating to me, and I've often wondered what it would have been like to live in the world portrayed within them, as opposed to the way the worl...
Promise you won't chase the boat down the sewer........strange things lurk down there.......like movie critics.....and reality TV stars......oh, and lawyers......

It's been raining pretty steadily, very heavy at times, since yesterday afternoon. The weather service says we should expect this to continue for at least a week, but it could go on for up to two weeks. I mention this because it hardly ever happens here, and if people weren't truly in danger fro...
But Child's Play is SUCH a worthwhile cause, thank you for taking the time to help them. (of course, as I type this, the thought "duh, why wouldn't he?" crosses my mind)

thirty-two hours in three hundred words
It was just above freezing when I got into the car Tuesday morning. The rising sun had just barely cleared my neighbor's roof, and did its best to melt the frost off of my roof and windshield. Anne and I sat in the passenger compartment shivering, surprisingly thick clouds of fog blooming in fron...
Sounds like my Saturday last week....good luck and I will be back for more tomorrow.

I never quite managed to get started today, and haven't written a single word that wasn't part of an e-mail or something stupid on Twitter. Dammit. So, in an effort to continue my daily-blog-o-phonic creative output, a very very short story: The wind came down the canyon and blew ice and snow i...
ROTFLMAO- That comic was great! (and I'm up for a class like that too, thank the GODS for spellcheck!)

I can't believe it's Friday, which means tomorrow is the weekend. Where did this week go, anyway? A few things I wanted to mention before I get busy: 1. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be going to bed between 9 and 10 every night, then waking up entirely on my own between 6 and 7 the next m...

Get Excited and Make Things!
My friend Ariana works with Warren Ellis to make all kinds of really cool things. Lately, they've been experimenting with print on demand technology to take creative risks that simple economics would have rendered impossible as recently as five years ago. For example, three weeks ago, they sta...

to mark the passage of three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days together
We went to Napa for our tenth anniversary. For the record: being married to your best friend rules.
I couldn't agree more, more often than not I will be sitting at my desk at work and then my mind wanders off to whatever project I'm on. Then, after a few moments in the Bahamas, I come back with a brand new idea, ready to write!

on the hunting down of ideas
I've been struggling lately to turn a lot of ideas I have into actual stories. I kind of feel like my writing mojo has taken a temporary leave of absence, and the harder I look for it, the harder it is to find. It has been incredibly frustrating. This morning, in Warren Ellis' BAD SIGNAL e-mail,...
Damn, it sucks that I missed that! San Fran isn't that far away so I will do EVERYTHING in my power to make the next one, I promise!

the obligatory w00tstock post
Everything I could possibly say about w00tstock has already been said by Paul and Storm, who made a lovely list, and Molly, who made a comic that captures exactly how I felt the whole time we did our shows. I loved feeling the terror and exhilaration of trying something totally new (The Trade, w...
Wow, I so know what you mean, the older modules are my current inspiration and I love them all. (U-Series ROCKS!) I love the reference to Rush, for me it was Dio, in fact I wrote an adventure based on the song Sacred Heart (one I plan to revive for 4E). Thanks for sharing!

senses working overtime
Anne and I stayed with my friends Steve and Julie when we went up to San Francisco for w00tstock. I've known Steve since high school, and Julie's sister was friends with my brother when they were younger, in case anyone was wondering how small the world actually is. Steve and I were in the same ...
Wow, what a memory trip! I never had the chance to get those, always spending my extra cash on adventures like Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh! But I still held onto my original Basic Set box, rules (here: http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/setpages/setscans/basic8th.html ) even the dice (proudly on display in my china cabinet).

My brain keeps giving me 404s when I try to get focused long enough to write this short scary story (well, I think it's scary. It has a monster in it) in time for Halloween. So I'm doing other things to try and trick it into rebooting the server, like cleaning up my house, playing with my dog, a...
Chris Perkins recently elluded to the possible "seat-swap" with you for the next podcast, putting you behind the DM screen. Please tell me this is going to happen!!! Aeofel's ghost would make an EXCELLENT NPC to taunt Binwin!

I've been pointing out new episodes of the D&D/Penny Arcade/PvP/Me podcast on Twitter, but since the third series draws to a close today, I thought I'd catch up, and then share some thoughts on the final episode. My last post took us up to episode three, so... Episode Four: In this episode, the...
