Not ready to back down

They are changing the way they do business... but they're not ready to shut up and sing just yet.

Spam Haikyu

I think spam subject headings are the great art form of our time.

From my inbox today... "resolutions in this direction, but the party categorical"

Sub-optimal entertainment?

Ryan Dancey says you can target gamers by how good their transportation options are and how much disposable income they have.

INVERSELY.

In other words... the more money you have for other entertainment, or the more transportation options you have (to get to entertainment), the less likely you are to game.

Soooo... does this mean gaming is inherently sub-optimal?

Keep in mind, it requires BOTH to make you likely to be a gamer.

In other words, if you have transportation but no money, you STILL aren't likely to game. You go find a museum or a *shudder* a park.

Hmmmm...

Riding the wave

Well, for those of you who have been wondering why my posting has slacked off some of late (yes you, way in the back... no, you) I've been "riding the wave". For those not familiar with this phrase (probably because I just made it up), this is the opposite of "hitting the wall".

In other words, Ive been amazingly productive of late. I've written 10,000 words in the last 4 days or about 16 pages (that's with tight margins). This is about twice my usual pace.

Suffice to say the project Im working on has me jazzed.

More on what exactly that is when I can say.

Coming soon... a comics review.

Down the pipe

Im working on something completely different right now but I think the next thing you'll see from me is the next WWII book, WWII Small Arms.

Colts 29 Bears 17

So not only did I pick the winning team, but the total score (46 points).

I probably could have made some nice green on that if I was a betting man. Ah well.

GM's Guide to WWII on sale


Well the first in our series of WWII books just went gold!

You can find out more information here.

This was a big challenge and I hope everyone has as much fun reading and playing it as I did writing it.

There were a couple of times during the writing where the enormity of the subject actually overwhelmed me, but once I came up with the right plan, it all fell into place.
