The taxman cometh.
It's tax time, and since I knew we'd end up owing, I delayed filing until this week. I still haven't filed yet - that will probably be this weekend - but unfortunately, it's going to be worse than I feared. Why? Because a large chunk of freelance work I started when I was between jobs was paid for in 2008, and this amount of income was high enough ( Read more... ) -
Bad breath.
With the 4e Ivalice game I'm kicking around, I'm going to need some 4e versions of Final Fantasy monsters. With this in mind, I decided to try my hand at monster design. First up, the status-inflicting terror known as the malboro.

Another time, another Ivalice...
I've finally found my inspiration for a 4th Edition D&D campaign. It actually came to me in an interesting way - utter disillusionment with the game. I was unhappy with how bards were handled in Player's Handbook 2, but after discussing my misgivings with the_z, she likened them to Orators from Final Fantasy Tactics, and said that the entire 4e combat ( Read more... ) -
The other side of manic depression.

This is good, because electric heat tripped our breakers twice last night (most notably when I plugged in my monster of a laptop; oops). This was easily among the best experiences I've ever had with a service/repair call. We made an appointment for Wednesday, and I made ( Read more... ) -
When it rains...
We just dropped $5,275 on a new roof (mostly a cross between insurance money and a home improvement loan). Of course, that means something else just has to be replaced. It wouldn't be right if we didn't have something else require maintenance when we're low on money ( Read more... ) -
I need a new bag.
This Friday, I was disturbed and horrified at the local comic/gaming shop in a way that I've never been before.
Friday night was Shadowrun night, so I went out to Pulp Fiction for the game. I get there, greet the staff and my players, and go back to the gaming area, where the Friday Night Magic players are setting up for a draft tournament. One ( Read more... ) -
