This year was no different and as usual I was able to snap lots of pictures of the myself alongside the various cosplayers who attend. As an added bonus this year, I learned that  Mario Torres was judging a session of Attack of the Frawgs being played nearby at Gam3rCon which was taking...

Remastering Larvik from D&D 4E to DCC RPG Pt 2: The Maps

Posted by on Apr 29, 2013 in DCCRPG, Writing | 1 comment

Remaster? Conversion? Rewrite? As you all hopefully know, I’ve been busy over the last few months remastering The Haunting of Larvik Island to DCC RPG. As I talked about here it has been a multi-step process. One of the tenets of making this a “remaster” vs. a “conversion” as I didn’t just want to convert the text blocks, I wanted it be DCC RPG native from the ground up. In fact, it is probably more accurate to say that this has been a...

Happy 2013 Again! So, first of all, I wanted to wish you guys again a Happy New Year. As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, I’m feeling much better from an “emotional health” perspective. It has been nice to be able to clear my mind of some of the personal issues that had clogged my brain and be able to re-focus again on my writing. Very pleasing indeed. Cat and I got a chance to hang out at a post-Christmas Christmas party which is where that...
