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&
