Behind the Screen
Anyone who’s heard my life story knows that it’s filled with hard-core geekery. I played Dungeons & Dragons for the first time when I was seven years old and had my own Elmore-cover “red box” when I was eight and it was a brand-new item from TSR. I started playing with running one-on-one scenarios for [...]

I’ll preface this blog by stating right up front: My family had a good Christmas. I’m very fortunate and grateful that we didn’t want for anything over the holidays, and the kids were loaded down with great gifts and I got a bunch of unexpectedly cool presents myself.

I don’t want to write this blog, to be perfectly honest. I’ve been putting it off. God knows that I’ve got plenty on my plate to keep me busy, from work-work to housework to my friends and family here in Wisconsin. Many excuses to keep me from having to put all things things churning around [...]

This actually happened last Thursday, but I had forgotten about it until Renae reminded me at lunch today. It’s too funny not to share. Okay, first you need to understand that one of the artists who we’ve worked with, and Renae has become friends with, is Bruce Colero. (Note: The previous link is probably not [...]

As many of you know, I’m a gamer. An über-geek, and proud of it. As much as I love wine, women, and song, I love games. I play and love ‘em all, everything from Texas Hold ‘Em to Battle Cry to Robo Rally and everything in between. And while I love board, card, and mini [...]
