Wow! Burning Wheel! Woof!
Burning Wheel. Cool game. I’m reading it. I’m trying to wrap my widdle bear brain around it. It’s interesting. I would like to take some of the doods who hang out at the D&D Meet-Up and get them to…

Actual Play: MomoCon SOTC
Once again, I ran SOTC at con. It was a lot of fun, both times. But, I gotta say, it is SO LONG to make characters. I’m just going to start putting together pre-made characters, at least with maybe…
Mortal Coil: Actual Play "Survival, Inc."
OK, so I finally got to play Mortal Coil.

I know that I screwed up the game according to the rules. I got to the character generation part of things, and I am farely certain that I did character…

two poems about bananas
when we picked the first fairchild free trade banana

my mother showed me pictures once
how these curved boats used to
hold up baby’s fists of ice cream
served cherries on top of floating clouds

How to Save the World
This goes into detail about the gift economy and how to keep it moving. Very intriguing stuff.
The Bear’s Grove 38: Interview with Were-Cabbages Rone Barton and Ed Healy

I had a great conversation with two members of the team responsible for the True 20 Blood Throne supplement “Blight Elves: Architects of Despair,” about the book and about their play habits.


You can find out more about this book at Reality Deviants Publications and more about the Were-Cabbages here.

In case you were wondering whether the explicit tag on this podcast is real, IT IS. THIS PODCAST IS EXPLICIT. It is NOT for children! Listen without headphones at work at your own…

I'm coining a new word....
It’s called “podgasm.”

A podgasm is where you are listening to a podcast and suddenly, without warning, someone mentions you or speaks back to your concern directly. It usually only happens to podcasters, although it could happen to listeners who are frequent contributors to podcasts.

For example,

I had a podgasm twice yesterday. Once was listening to The Plitone Revisionist, Episodes 5 and hearing Paul address my request to be called “a Revisionist” instead of “A Plitonite.” I suspect…
Progress towards completion!

Just a little note here to talk about how far along I am on “Heart of the Hunter.”

Heart of the Hunter
82310/90000 Words

As you can see, thanks to Jason Penney’s wonderful plugin, ProgPress, I am very close to my current stated goal of 90,000 words.

I think I can get done with the complete story by that time. Heart of the Hunter is not meant to be the first of a trilogy. It is a complete book by itself. There are possibilities for future novels in the same world and with some…
