Genericon...

I'll of course be going to Genericon this year as usual (Genericon: RPI, Troy, NY, January 28-30). I don't know if I'll be an official guest, though, as I wrote to their guest person and haven't heard back yet. I'm sure I'll be able to do SOMETHING though, it's a nice little convention and one of the friendliest I've been at anywhere. If anyone else out there is going to Genericon, look around for me. I'll be there probably signing copies of Mountain Magic if nothing else. :)

Console/Computer RPG quick rant/muse

Someday I will help write a computer RPG that allows a better simulation of roleplaying, avoids making you feel either like you're on a railroad or that you're just a doofus because you can't figure out where to go next, and that allows MORE THAN ONE PERSON TO PLAY ON THE SAME CONSOLE. It has TWO CONTROL PORTS, you know! Dumb fight games allow two-player action, why not RPGs?

This concludes this minor rant.
