Help Cheyenne Wright!

As I do every Monday , Wednesday, and Friday, I stopped by Girl Genius this morning to see what Agatha Heterodyne is up to when I saw the following from Kaja Foglio:

"Cheyenne Wright, our highly esteemed friend and colorist, is currently under observation in the hospital. The doctors are not yet sure what's wrong, but it's actually sounding fairly alarming. We're quite worried."

Pinnacle fans, of course, will know Cheyenne's artwork from numerous Deadlands and Savage Worlds products. I've met Cheyenne at GenCon and Origins and he's a friendly, fascinating, and talented individual. The Foglios are putting together a fund-rasiers and in the meantime suggest that any who'd like to help out with Cheyenne's medical bills can make direct contributions to his PayPal address: arcanetimes@gmail.com

Good luck Cheyenne!

Yes , I’m still alive!

UGH! Work, school, the holidays, more work, yet more school. I don't know how these "professional" bloggers do it!

Anyway, just thought I'd check in. I haven't deserted you folks… I'm just REALLY fracking busy!

Be Aggressive...

My Wednesday late-night RPTools/Skype Hellfrost group has more or less adopted the the phrase "Be Aggressive" as its official battlecry...

(Oh, NSFW language, so don't come crying to me if the the boss catches you watching.)

Daring Tales of the Sprawl is OUT!

Delays, Delays! Nothing but delays!

It's getting to be about the mid-point of my semester here at prestigious Waukesha County Technical College. There are portfolio's to write, patch cables to crimp, programs to write, exams to study for, and final projects to start. In other words, I have a whole bunch of rather important stuff to do that get's in the way of this blogging silliness.

I hope to get the following reviews out of the way as soon as my schedule allows:

• Realms Of Cthulhu by Reality Blurs
• Savage Worlds Fantasy Companion by Pinnacle.
• Weird War II by Pinnacle.
• Disposable Heroes paper miniatures from Precis Intermedia.

In the meantime, enjoy the following insulting gamer humor:
