Two weeks until GENCON!?!!?

Holy crap, that is coming up FAST! I'd hoped I be further along on a few things at this point, but oh well. I'm very much looking forward to getting some game time in and meeting people. This will be my first major convention ever so I'm not sure what to expect. Actually I have no expectations really I guess other than just to see what is out there and actually meet some of the gamer folk I communicate with online. Anything after that will be a bonus.

    Look me up. I'll be hanging around the OSR booth when I'm not running MutFut games.

    I plan on spending quite a bit of time around the OSR booth myself.

    @ Scadgrad - I know the feeling! It seems like whenever I'm getting ready to take some time off of work, the period right before I leave is crazy.

    Good luck, Mr. Bingham! Getting ready for a disruption (as I am now doing) is as bad as the disruption itself. Maybe one feels more in control, but that's it, and that's an illusion too.

    Ge Con, I am jealous. I hope you have a great time. And don't charge too much for photos. Everyone is going to want a memento from the hot elf chick.

    @Tim - I'm gonna make a killing off photos! GENCON is gonna be my golden ticket ;). Actually, I'm pretty excited and looking forward to finally meeting some of my fellow OSR contributors in person. Not to mention it's GENCON so I'm bound to find all kinds of cool stuff.

Neurodiversity and Dragons - the adventure begins!

  Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far.   For s

I like pie!

Cyclopeatron made an interesting blog post which I tend to agree with. Most conent posts don't get responses but opinion posts do. I've noticed the trend in my own blogging as well. There is some incredibly interesting content being generated out there in OSR blog land. I think folks tend to react more to opinion pieces because no one really wants to 1) either say your stuff sucks on a blog post or 2) only say "that's cool man". I tell you what, I cherish the "that's cool man posts", it at tleast let's me know folks are paying attention. As to the your stuff sucks, well those are OK too as long as they tell me why they think my stuff sucks so I know how to try and improve it. At any rate, I like pie. It even tastes better when I had to kill an orc to get it ;).
