I am a writer, musician, gamer (both tabletop rpg’s & video games) and life-long geek.
SCARAB Gaming Convention is a relatively small con that is held just a few hours from my current hometown every January. This was my second time attending this con, because it was only the second SCARAB they’ve held. I don’t want to pretend this is a full review or “after action report” of the con, [...]
Better Late Than Never I’ve been running tabletop games almost continuously since 1981. I haven’t always been very good at it, but I truly enjoy it and have invested a great deal of time and energy into it over the past 30 or so years. Unfortunately, for a large portion of that time, I was [...]

One of the hot video games that hit at the beginning of this year’s fall release schedule was Deep Silver’s Dead Island. It was a bit of a sleeper hit, actually. Generally, if you didn’t see their incredible announcement trailer, you didn’t know a whole lot about the game, other than it was a zombie-killing [...]
“Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder…” – Ralph Waldo Emerson It was either Barry White or Leo Tolstoy who said “Music is the shorthand of emotion.” In the realm of tabletop role-playing games music, or any sound really, can be a huge [...]
