Too Little Time

So why not try BtS: Time Stop at koboldquarterly.com here: http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/article139.php

But really, there's just not enough time to post on this blog, the TO blog, and now I'm tweeting on twitter (under trickyowlbear). Quite a lot I'd like to get accomplished in the new year on the writing front--more BtS, BtM, a Traveller introductory adventure, an OSRIC adventure, and a straight 3.5/OGL adventure featuring the Dark Creepers & Stalkers which are the next BtM topic.

So, anyone have any exciting New Years plans? If you've been following my blog, you know I'm no fan of celebrating this "holiday" but tonight the group and I are heading out for midnight bowling in Reading. Should be amusing as I haven't bowled in many years. We haven't gamed at all in December so it'll be good to see the gang. Hopefully much gaming will commence in '09. Whatever your plans, be safe and happy!

Merry Christmas!

Although the holiday is officially 4 minutes past, I didn't want the day to go by without note on the blog here. I hope everyone who celebrates this joyous holiday had a great one. I personally had a good time both giving and receiving presents and spending time with the family. Tomorrow its back to work!

BtS: Magic Aura at KQ

http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/article128.php

The story and related research for this one came rather easily. It was the spell secret that proved difficult--how do you tweak a spell who's sole function is to show an illusion to someone who is actually looking for it? Find out through the link!

Kind Words for BtS

Looks like BtS at Kobold Quarterly is getting some kind attention from various folks. Monte Cook wrote on Wolfgang's Open Design LJ: "It's pretty cool." For a more wordy opinion, see Robert Emerson's blog post here: http://emersonsbookshelf.blogspot.com/2008/12/kobold-quarterlys-behind-spells.html

Contrary to Popular Belief...

...I'm still around! Feeling a little nostalgic for the old blogging life tonight so decided to stop in and post an update. Oh, life, yo...
