Well, we’re off to start celebrating the holiday season in a few hours. First we’ll be going to New Jersey, to visit my mother in law and father in law. After that, we’ll be going to Delaware to visit my folks. All told, I’m really looking forward to it. I hope [...]

No, I’m not talking about the movie (though I did see it, and it was excellent). I’m talking about Serenity: The Role-Playing Game, which my friend Mike recently gave me for Christmas. I’ve read the first couple of chapters so far, and I must say I’m really enjoying it. There are some [...]

Just thought I’d drop in and post, since I haven’t for a couple of days.

Second, I’d just like to share how excited I am about [...]

Not much has changed significantly since _Morrowind_ [...]

Second: I remember when I saw the preview for _Deconstructing Harry_, and thinking it sounded interesting. I also remember seeing the movie, and thinking that it was absolutely nothing like the preview (not that it wasn’t [...]

For those of you looking for the perfect gift for your special gamer, look no further. Especially if your special gamer is stinky.

My wife and I have just installed WordPress on the site, so it’s now officially a blog. You’ll notice a few changes to the format of the site. For one, the categories to the right. For another, there are now links to the right that allow you to subscribe to my blog. [...]

Thought I’d let everyone know what I’m going to be doing with this site starting very soon (probably tomorrow).  Basically, this site is going to be used as a blog.  There will still be house rules, reviews, and other goodies posted from time to time, but primarily I’m just going to be posting about whatever [...]
