…to debut their new RPG, Litterbox: The Pooping
Uncle Doc’s Weekend
Actually, it was a semi-lazy weekend. Too windy/rainy/cold to work in the garden and we are too post-DunDraCon broke to do much else. But chores were done, movies on the telly were watched, tasty meals were eaten, computing and writing were done…and smooching…mustn’t forget the smooching. All in all, nothing cool and incredible to report.
On Politics
As I have mentioned before, I am no longer an active participant in the political process. I gave it a try, from about 1990 to 2004, but then I came back to my senses. Still, after nearly a decade and a half of being a good citizen and voting and stuff, it sometimes gets hard to keep my distance. For example, now that the braindead masses can only shrug off about HALF of the insane shit the Bush/Cheney Mob have/are done/doing, it looks like there just might be a swing back to the left soon. I was thinking about this the other day and began thinking that maybe I should vote again.
A little voice in my head said “Doc, what if YOUR vote was the one it took to defeat the neocon scum, kick the left in the ass and save us all from a rapidly approaching slide into nationwide…even WORLDWIDE…anarchy and chaos? What if YOUR vote did that?”
At which point, I thanked the little voice for reminding me what was important…and put all thought of voting out of my mind. I feel much better now.
On Gaming
Point 1: I’ve taken a break from working on my Next Big Roleplaying Idea, but I’ll get back to it soon. The ideas came thick and fast, now it’s time to let them ferment before rendering them into a tasty drink for the roleplaying imagination.
Point 2: For those of you who missed it the last 6 or 7 times, I will be attending the maiden voyage of Conquest Sac on April 7-9. I’ll be running a TOON game, an Over The Edge game and hosting a seminar titled “Ok, So Tell Us About Your Character”. When I’m not doing that, I’ll be hitting the Dealer’s Room, the Flea Market, trying to play some games, chewing the fat with other gamers from the Big Tomato and checking out the movies and anime. If you come to the con, look me up.
Point 3: Speaking of the abovementioned con, it will be just about the cheapest con I’ve ever attended. Well, not counting all those years I snuck into Pacificon using forged badges:) Still, Conquest Sac, being about a 12 minute freeway drive from my house, will be very inexpensive for me. No hotel, most of my meals eaten at home or made at home and taken with me, very little gas used…given my recent reluctance to buy much of a game nature, I’m thinking this con will set me back less than $100.00
As opposed to the proposed GenCon 2007 trip which could well top $3,500.00 and will take about 18-19 days from start to finish.
And now, Uncle Doc is off to read webcomics and work on the Kingdom Building Game.
