Expanding Definitions part 2 Numbers define a lot in roleplaying games. They give you a foundation for determining success and failure. They give you quantities to manipulate.

Expanding Definitions part 1 Click to go buy this beautiful piece.  My first experience of role playing was through my cousin Mark. He was a few years older than me, and infinitely more knowledgeable about things like video games and awesomeness.

Building a world So I have a question for you. It has to do with what SteamCharged is, and what it will become.

Moving Forward O goodness. I suppose it has been awhile. Here is what I have been doing... Back in August, Daniel (of Cracked Monocle and Tephra fame) approached me to do some work on SteamCharged, his oft talked about but rarely worked on roleplaying game. I had heard stirrings of the game almost 2 years prior (t...

Hard at work with Daniel Burrow from Cracked Monocle on our next big thing! This whole writing thing really takes its toll on my poor fingers...

Bravery Soooooo... not a single person did anything for hat parade except for me. George Plimpton for no good reason, just a personal hero, and someone I think about when I need a boost.

Let's play Let's play a game together. But first, a little back ground for those unfamiliar... CRC (or the Crossroads Challenge) was supposed to be an exploration for me. I wanted to explore what was possible for me as a designer. I wanted to explore spaces of play that I had never touched. I wanted to explore...

Hey look! THERE IS A POST. And a new website.

AHH!! REDESIGNED! For those of you who don't know, this is pretty much what I look like. It's real weird. Hey all. Sorry I went all ghosty for so long. Things happened. Life things. But now things need to happen here. Game things. As you can see, the site has been redesigned. It will probably change again pretty radi...
