On a lighter note, my friend Allen Varney points me to a new site that he and some of his former compatriots in the development of the latest edition of Paranoia concocted: Ninjalistics.com. If you’re looking for an amoral way to get ahead in your Dilbertesque office environment, Ninjalistics has the solution for you. It’s dark, funny, and–given the recent …
Good-Bye, Greg
On Monday, my friend Greg Joos died. Greg was married to Brooke (Henderson) Joos, a childhood friend I’ve known since I was two years old, and he left behind her and four children: two now-adults from a previous marriage and two sweethearts that play and go to school with my own kids.
Hollow Wee ’Un–Now with Art
Since I posted my note yesterday about the monster I wrote up for FlamesRising.com‘s month-long Halloween celebration, the fine folks there have added a creepy illustration to the article too.

In comments on a recent post about the Citizens of Virtue ARG, my friend Teeuwynn Woodruff points out that the game is meant to support Jesus Wants to Save Christians, a new book by Rob Bell and Don Golden. She also directed me to a fresh blog post that explains it all. Ironically, on the same day, the über-political-polling site …

Local Debate: Baldwin v. Theron
I was scheduled for an online chat tonight on RPGLife.com, but I’m going to have to reschedule that so I can attend my local congressional debate between Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and challenger Peter Theron. It’s being held at the Beloit College campus at 8 PM tonight, right when I would be signing on for the chat. My mother runs Tammy’s …
