Holy shit.

No, I mean holy shit.

Wow.

I have a job!

Oh, and here’s this. Henry Rollins telling a Tom Waits story.

I’ll begin private playtesting Houses on Friday. Afterward, I’ll have playtest packets available for a small number of people.

Playtest reports will be posted here on a regular basis, keeping track of the changes in the game. As the game changes, some things you like will go away. Trust me, I like them, too, otherwise, I wouldn’t put them in the game. But, sometimes, things have to change. Good ideas that don’t belong in the game.

For example, the Sisters are taking a walk. I know, I like them a lot, but they don’t belong here. I already have a game where they’ll fit better. More on that later.

Speaking of “later,” I’ll have another post today. I’m not sure what it is–I haven’t written it yet–but you’ll be the first to know.

The German Who Walks (

) notified me that some German fellow has called me “Storynuttenliebling,” which apparently means “story whore darling.”

I am the darling of the story whores.

I have a new nickname. All I need to do is learn how to pronounce it.

PS: Jared is Hardcorerzählonkel. “Hardcore storytelling uncle.” I have to learn German.

Okay, I’m doing something silly.

Joshua BishopRoby has written a “playtest review” of his experience with Houses of the Blooded at OrcCon over at RPG.net.

Go check it out!

I was at a party–a “dwarf birthday” themed costume party–when this photo was taken.
I was talking about Discordia–“Hail Eris!”–when this photo was taken.
There is no Photoshop, no special effects, just natural lighting.

When Jared and Rebecca asked me to be the minister at their wedding, they are lucky this guy didn’t show up.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is confirmed. We have actual photographic evidence of “The Wick.”

Thankfully, The Wick did not actually show up at the party. But a lot of people asked me a lot of game-related questions and I pontificated to no end.

I should start implementing the Stafford Rule. Whenever anybody asks me a question about L5R or 7th Sea, I charge them a dollar. I’ll talk your ear off; you’ll get your dollar’s worth, that’s no doubt. But just one dollar. It would certainly help my bank account.

Maybe. 😉

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 /Christian Newswire/ — A liberal website out of Jerusalem, Israel is reporting that a documentary film to be aired this week will prove the actual burial site for Jesus Christ and his family has been found. The filmmakers, including James Cameron of Titanic fame, claim they will display the coffins of Jesus and his mother Mary at a New York news conference on Monday.

Skeptical? Me? Nah!
