Kind words about Master Plan
Amy Garcia, co-creator of Empire of Dust, has said some kind words on her blog about Master Plan:
Ryan Macklins 50th episode should be airing Tuesday, June 30th. I believe that this specific episode is about A Penny for My Thoughts with Paul Tevis. Im so excited. If anything can be said about Ryan, its his undying love and dedication to RPGs and ( Read more... ) -
A Penny For This Editor's Thoughts
I was heavily involved in Paul Tevis' recently-published book, A Penny For My Thoughts -- as the books editor and (as he puts it) developer. While I've been damned proud of the work he -- hell, we -- put in to make the book what it is, I've been hesitant to talk about it online.

Advertising, Magazines & Podcasts
Last year, Daniel Perez has this fantastic idea to get some group podcaster ads in Kobold Quarterly. I was among those involved, and while I couldn't tell you if I got any listeners from that ad, I can say that I was happy to be a part of that experiment and to have RPGPodcasts.com also in the mag. This year, Daniel's looking to repeat the ( Read more... ) -
Damned Anonymous played at Knutepunkt 2009
John Kim posted an AP bit about a game I designed for Tobias Wrigstad to try out at Knutepunkt, "Damned Anonymous: Anger Management." From his con write-up:
This is a short jeepform scenario by American game designer Ryan Macklin that focuses on an abusive man named James. It was slotted for an hour slot but took a little over and hour and a half ( Read more... ) -

Notes on my current D&D campaign
I've been talking with some folks while fleshing out the world of my current D&D campaign. I'm focusing a lot on race relations, since this is a "fantasy crime adventure." I haven't run all these by the players yet, but I will tonight ( Read more... ) -
Reader participation: Recent moment of happiness
I posted this to Twitter & Facebook (since I sync them), and so I shall here:
Reader participation: tell me of a recent moment when you've been happy. Whatever the reason, no matter how trivial. Share some begoodness.
