Game Geeks Reviews DAR!

Kurt Wiegel at Game Geeks gives his ringing endorsement of my favorite Savage Setting:

By Jove, old boy! It’s a Space 1889: Red Sands Preview!

Michael Wolf has posted an in-depth preview of highly anticipated Space 1889: Red Sands campaign slated for GenCon 2010 release. While I'm really looking forward to getting this one, I'm disappointed that they choose to release this one at the one convention I can't go to this year. I don't suppose someone would be kind enough to pick one up at GenCon for me?

Please…?

Good News on the Cheyenne Front!

Great news on Cheyenne Wright's medical status from the Folgio's:

"Cheyenne Wright...is about to be let out of the hospital! Lucky Cheyenne; it appears that what he has is some weird virus that only imitates the symptoms of congestive heart failure. Gah!"

"Gah" indeed!

Again, Cheyenne, being a freelance artist, has no health insurance (thanks Republicans!) and is going to need help taking care of his bills from his incident. The Folgio's are now planning an online eBay auction along with their Wallpaper's proposal to help raise proceeds, and donations are still being accepted at Cheyenne's PayPal address: aracanetimes@gmaill.com.

I implore anyone who can give, please do so.

Ron Blessing has a blog!

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!
