Anyone with an interest in good storytelling enquire herein.
I have probably pimped this story before, but I regret nothing.If anyone reading this is in the market for a good webcomic, I recommend: Digger, by Ursula Vernon. (Link goes to the first comic, so as to avoid spoilers.) Creative, funny and epic non-Tolkienian fantasy with excellent characterisation and dialogue. The art starts good and proceeds to get better. And there have been recent developments (which will make no sense out of context) that have made me sit down and say "... dude." In that good, ever-so articulate way I have at times. On a more serious note, this is the kind of story that I can read and think "This. This is the kind of story that made me want to be a writer." So there we go. Check it out, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been. | | Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 | | 11:12 am |

Hey isn't it weird how Michael Jackson's death completely fixed the problems in Iran, and Korea, and the humanitarian crises of the world? OH WAIT | | Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | | 10:39 pm |

Gleee!
Ran playtesting for The Dungeon Monster's Guide last night, and had a lot of fun. The players said they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, which is better than I expected for a first-draft proof-of-concept. The bit thing was length of time. At the upcoming con, I have a 3 hour slot. The game last night took four hours, although some of that involved getting food. However, explaining the rules and such was included. For a typical gaming one-shot, four hours is entirely workable. So that's great. In the context of the con-session, some trimming will be needed. However, I've had all sorts of awesome feedback from the lovely players, and I am feeling entirely positive about it. | | Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 | | 10:48 am |

...I think I need this. Badly.
There is a company called Popcap Games, creators of such delightful addictions as: Insaniquarium Bookworm Adventures Bejeweled and Zuma. This is a music video for their newest offering: How can you not love a game called Plants Versus Zombies? | | Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 | | 4:53 pm |

Hmm.
I seem to have talked myself into being able to run an RPG module I'm writing at an SF/Fantasy convention in New Zealand this year. This is simultaneously awesome and frightening. Now I just have to write the thing, and do some playtesting. Yep, just that. The module be for Monsters and Other Childish Things and is currently entitled The Dungeon Monster's Guide.Here's the blurb: "Once upon a time, there was a village that existed in the lee of a deep, infamous dungeon.
The people in the town sold things to the people who came to explore the dungeon at a high
markup, and things were peaceful.
But the children of the town played in the dungeon, and made friends with some of the monsters there.
They told their monster friends when people would come to hurt them, and those monsters told the other monsters, and they all hid.
So the adventurers started to stop coming. The town began to fade.
Until the children had a wonderful idea, and talked to their monsters. What if they started making sure that when
adventurers came to the dungeon, they had a really good show..." | | Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 | | 11:22 pm |

Making some Noise.
Here's the webpage for a group protesting new 'Guilt-by-Accusation' copyright legislation coming into effect at the end of February within New Zealand. Creative Freedom NZ.  Among other things, they're setting up a week of protest from the 16th to the 23rd of February under the theme of 'blacking out' the internet to highlight the problem. There's also a petition, and those never hurt. The Herald article on the subject is available here. |
