Giving Up My Baby
Good news from last night? I am going to be the 2012 Events Head for Geek.Kon. Bad news from last night?

Why Is This An Issue?
I made what I thought was a completely innocent post in the roleplayers community earlier today. I was trying to pick brains about the possibility of a faster XP path in D&D 4e.

To History or Not To History
As happens so often, I had an interesting conversation with capsulecorp_tm during a short road trip up this weekend. We got to talking about contests, as we so often do, and the rumor that the ICG may be moving forward the date limit for entries in the Historical Masquerade at Costume Con.
