For those of you laughing in the front row, I really do have thoughts. They might not always make sense, but they are there!
It occurred to me that it might be fun, in addition to sharing news and clips from my writing (deeper dives will be on Patreon, along with art and maybe some teaser chapters and side stories) that I might like to share my thoughts on things I read, movies and shows I watch, and games I play, of all varieties – video, board, and rpgs, mostly.
Considering I’ve been a gamer since the late 70s, lived through the Satanic Panic that struck Dungeons and Dragons in the 80s, and experienced the growth of the industry and the smaller properties that came about in the 90s, I might have a few insights, and can share my experience and thoughts on systems and setting old and new. Interestingly enough, I’m relatively new to board games, although I did play some 40k and Blood Bowl in college, along with everyone’s favorite obsession at the time, Magic: The Gathering.
Computer and console-wise, I started with a Commodore Vic-20, and progressed through a C-64, and C-128, and also had an old Atari 2600. From there, though, I jumped straight to a PS/2 Model 50 (IBM), and never really did much with consoles until the Playstation 1.
Nowadays, I’m almost exclusively a PC gamer for my videogame fix.
Anyway, I’m probably going to start with books and TTRPGs to begin with, then branch out from there. We’ll see what happens.
Don’t worry, it’ll be fun.
