Hey all, Sam here. It's Friday again, and honestly there's a lot going on right now...and sadly a lot of it is stuff I'm not talking about in my weekly wrap-ups because it involves shows I'm watching, and I'm not talking about those until the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike has concluded. So I guess I'll just say… Continue reading Weekend Writer: September Prompts

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. Sorry for the wonky posting schedule the past week or so. I've felt pretty out of sorts, just run down from the schedule shifts after coming back from Gen Con, and the long hours at work plus the weather...it has left me feeling pretty drained overall. Anyway,… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Aug 23

Hey all, Sam here. It is Gen Con Day Two! We have quite a bit on our schedules, between panels and game playtests and of course wandering the exhibit hall, and there's a few game drops that we're really hoping we're lucky enough to snag, so we'll see what happens. Obviously, since I'm writing this… Continue reading Weekend Writer: August Prompts
