Game Developers Journal and more
So, after several years away, I return.
Other social media is nice, but fluffy--ephemeral. I can't look at my posts and get a sense of where my brain has been and what, if anything, it's achieved. So it's back to LJ I come, hanging my head.

Room to breathe
I can't believe it. I have room to breathe again because all the big conventions are done, and the ones that are left are either already taken care of or I can wing my way through. And Archon I'm really looking forward to because my favorite players are up for another round of Spellslinger (or more aptly Journeyman Necromancers Club.) I have ideas ( Read more... ) -
Dire preparations
I'm in that period of dread that comes before a big convention. I wonder what I'll forget this time? :-)
