A more clinical analysis. (4.0 review after single playtest)
I got to playtest the game for one night. I played a striker warlock. There were six of us versus a dragon. It sucked. Things I don't like ( Read more... ) -
Every man grinds. Not every man truly levels! (A 4.0 playtest)
Now, I only played one game, and I played a warlock, so maybe it's just a balance issue with that one class, but my impression from the other players was that they were kind of unhappy with the results of running up against an encounter that the Monster's Manual said was actually low for their level.

Wish me luck...
Today is the first in-service day for the school semester. I will be teaching one art class this fall at the eighth grade level. The correct word for how I am feeling is trepidacious.

The yearly update
So I have been a busy bee this year. Just before the end of last year I quit my job and went back to school. I know, I thought I would be done with it too.

I don't think I could stand knowing ( Read more... ) -
Magic: The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering is doing a survivor style interview for its new intern. This is good publicity, but more importantly since ninety percent of their fanbase feel qualified for the position, this gives those aspirants a reason to believe that something other than nepotism fueled the hiring process. I would have taken a shot at it had I not been ( Read more... ) -
Nanowrimo
I am participating in Nanowrimo for the first time this year. I am confident that I can write fifty thousand words with relative ease. I put down ten thousand on day one. However, last night I got hold of a new computer game. This will severely reduce my output. -
Job Stuff
So it has become eminently clear to me that progression in this position is not an option. As a result I have been doing the job search. I found one very interesting prospect that I am following up aggressively, everything else is, bleah, good enough, but probably not much better than this ( Read more... )
