Hey all, Sam and David here again today. Well...we broke our blog streak, just shy of 200 days straight of posting. I'll be completely honest...I had a burnout moment, where I was feeling overworked and overwhelmed and so drained that I couldn't do anything. Part of it was the heat wave that came through the… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Aug 30

WIP Wednesday – Aug 23
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. Where does the time keep going? The past couple of weeks it has felt like time has just sped past...and it's like I haven't been able to do nearly as much as I hope to do.

WIP Wednesday – Aug 16
Hey all, Sam and David here again today. It's the middle of the week again, already. Wow. This past week has felt really long, and yet even then it didn't really feel that productive.

Basically we'll be covering anything that happened last Wednesday after we… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Aug 9
Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam and David here. Okay, this might end up being a bit long. Well, at least it's certainly going to be a whole bunch of photos, so I don't think we're going to take too long with the intro section. We've tried for the most part to divide things up day by day… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con Wrap Up
Let’s Talk About Books Some More
Hey all, Sam here. All right. I'm at Gen Con and it's been a lot of fun, and the panels at the Writer's Symposium have been excellent this year, and it's definitely gotten me very focused on books. And yes, that does include thinking about my own books too...so hopefully I'll have a lot to… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Books Some More

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
