Stupid Puter

I mentioned this earlier, but my computer recently died. I tried to save some cash and buy a used one, and it lasted me about 7 months.

So I have a new one being built by Dell, but it won't be around until the end of the month.

During this time, blogging will be slower than usual. I'm borrowing a friend's puter and have to spend that time working.

On the bright side, not only is my new rig an upgrade, it's a laptop.

New GamingSteve article

Hey guys. As my puter issues drag on, blogging continues to be slow, as I have limited computer time and have to spend it working.

However, a new article by my is up at GamingSteve on the continuing Gamespot disaster-bacle.

First GamingSteve review posted!

My review of Final Fantasy XII has been posted at GamingSteve. Enjoy!

What's now

Recently, in my "what's next" post, I shamelessly teased that I was going to try my hand at something new. Well now, that farflung future has arrived.

And though I still haven't gotten my damn flying cars or food in a pill, you can console yourself with my thoughts on video games as a new columnist over at gamingsteve.

Each week, I'll be covering the world of console RPGs as well as the places where they intersect with the tabletop.

Too anime

So in all the talk over 4e, one of the barbs commonly slung at the game by folks who wish there wasn't a 4e is how "anime" and "MMO" influenced its getting.

I decided to one up those guys and make a game with such obvious anime influences, its not even funny.

Over the next few days, I'm going to be providing a lot of crunch previews of Fantasci, a book I hope everyone enjoys as much I enjoyed writing it.

What's Next

So my next project is a freelance project for a company that isn't RPGObjects and isn't Vigilance Press.

I'll tell you more soon.

And besides Fantasci, there's also the World Metahuman Factbook: Germany, which is in editing. This is my Vigilance Press sourcebook for Phil Reed's marvelous 4Color system.

Finally, you're going to get a chance to see my writing in an entirely new arena soon. Again, more will be forthcoming on this when the news breaks.

Back from the holidays!

We laughed, we cried, many, many rounds were consumed.

So, what's going on? Well, I just handed in my first Fantasci draft to the boss, meaning the editing and revision process has begun on the first Modern20 setting.

I hope folks like it, it's got a lot of fantasy tools for the toolbox, as well as providing a science fantasy straight out of Japanese RPGs for your gaming enjoyment.
