Happy Thanksgiving All!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  I hope you have a fantastic day full of family, friends, food, and laughter.  While I haven't been very present in the blogosphere of late, that does not mean I haven't been busy with old school gaming stuff.  I've been doing quite a bit of work for Expeditious Retreat Press and having a blast.  I'm also back in the saddle on Delve! issue 2.  I'm determined to get this one out.  I've been bitten by the comic book bug again so I've been reading tons of digital comics.  Comixology is great for reading back issues.  As much as I love physical comics, I just don't have the space these days and a digital version on a tablet seems to be the best way to go.  It's also been getting me thinking about doing some stuff for 4C.  I loved Marvel FASERIP as a kid and it probably is right up there in terms of hours played with AD&D 1e.  Heck, the amount of time I devoted to just creating super hero characters may even surpass D&D.  I had Trapper Keepers FULL of characters with pictures I drew of them, their team logos, hideouts, cars and vehicles, etc.  The nice thing is that 4C/FASERIP are super easy to explain to an 8 year old and Bear is pretty excited about it.  At any rate, I hope you all have a great day!

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 ;).
