Roll-Playing and Contests

So I had planned to write a bit about the session that I’m GMing right now. But that’ll probably have to wait until later. For now, let’s talk about Contests. For whatever reason I’m a sucker for Contests. I have always had a lucky streak. And contests for cool systems that I’ve been wanting to [...]

Groundhog Day

I have a bit of a tradition in attempting to watch Bill Murray’s genius “Groundhog Day” on February 2nd. I don’t know if the film is in my top 10 of films, but I always enjoy it when I watch. I have it on DVD, but didn’t feel like digging through my stuff to find [...]

Game Design

I don’t mind stating the obvious on the ASoOJ blog. It’s because random people stumbling upon this may not be familiar with what it is. But basically, I really enjoy hobbyist game design. It’s not something I’ve been doing for very long, but nonetheless it’s fun to create your own stuff, and try it out. [...]

Update

Well, I went through and cleaned up wordpress a bit. Deleted a bunch of the spam users, added my twitter account to the sidebar. So a quick recap on my projects for this site. The first which is the larger of the two is the board game Global Skirmish that is based in Google Maps. [...]

Mid-month updates

So I’m currently trying to post blog updates right around the pay period. For me that’s the 15th and 30th, so I’ll just call that twice a month and go for there. I won’t always have game related updates every 2 weeks, but I’ve been much better in the last few weeks with updating a [...]

Vermont

Now.. as I’ve suggested, July is a month just packed full of stuff somehow. I’m glad we were able to move from our old place early, cause it really allowed us not to worry too much this month since it’s so busy. But this post is about Vermont. We’ll (me and my crew)be going up [...]

Finished Moving

Well, here are some more related news to my site. I just finished moving all of my stuff from my old Apartment in Hoboken, a few miles inland in Jersey. It’s a bit sad since I’ve been in Hoboken for a good 7 years and will have to meet new friends here, and all those [...]

April Fool

Now… I also kinda enjoyed April Fool’s Day. I’ve done a handful of pranks in my time, only a few of them coming on 4/1. And every year while I’m in the height of my website maintenance I tell myself I’m going to come up with something hilarious for April 1st. Well, as you can [...]

Companies and IP Law

Well, I don’t really have too much to say about this, besides companies should get stronger leashes on their lawyers. But Hasbro has dropped the hammer on Scrabulous a word-tile game on Facebook. Sounds familiar eh? http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-britain-facebook.html

Thanksgiving

I’d like to mention a few quick things about this post before you lament to yoursel(f/ves) that Global Skirmish is vaporware and is coming out around the same time as Duke Nukem Forever. First is Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is a nice holiday. You spend some time with your family, maybe throw the football around, eat mass [...]
