Current Projects
I’m working on a slew of different settings. For Cthulu Aventus, I’m putting together ‘Mountain Home’ which is a setting, a short adventure, and some adventure seeds. Its over seven thousand words now. I’m struggling…

D2020
D20's a fad, right? It'll lose popularity eventually, right? Maybe not. This week's "Grains of Sand" presents a world where the System has taken over everything.

Dan's Gen Con Report: Top Ten and Bottom Five
I was having a bit of writer's block trying to organize my thoughts on this year's Gen Con experience. So, I came up with this half-baked "Best and Worst" list idea. (Been watching too much Comedy Central, I think.)

Did Anyone Get the Number of That Alarm Clock?
I don’t suspect that I would get much sympathy for having my alarm ring before eight this morning. That’s just not early by most standards, and even if I observe that it was after midnight that I got back from the long…
Diskwars
So I was pretty impressed that Fantasy Flight, the company that released Twilight Imperium and its many high priced add-on sets, has now released a series of very reasonably priced, pseudo-miniature style wargames…
