My wife and I keep a journal for the store at spacecrime.

Ladies and gentlemen, further evidence why Peter Adkison is one of the gaming industry's greatest natural resources. I'm impressed, both by how well-run the day of the show that I saw was, and by how quickly Peter and his people are addressing the glitches that happened.

Wulf: while I don't know the details, it's apparently relatively easy to make stickers that peel off with no mess. We've got various "New!" and "Local Author" stickers that do this already from the ABA -- they even make an "Award Winner" sticker, but I'd like one a little more specific. cheers,

Michael: I think you did a great job. I was amazed by how smooth and professional and fun the award ceremony was. There were a few glitches, but this is one of the best all-volunteer events I've ever attended, and it was better than many of the professional events I've gone to. I also took the...

Very nice. :) One thing I'd love to do is make some stickers for sticking on the various award-winning books (including a certain rules supplement) in my store. Does anybody have any thoughts on how to do that? Is there any way to do up a whole bunch of stickers for those stores that might be...

Fields of Blood is one that I was thinking of, and there's an Alderac one-word book called Empire on the way. Should be fun reading! :)

Eric: {singing} "I love you, you're perfect, a manifestation of my dreams..." Morrus: Bloody hell! If you squint right he does look a bit like J-Lo!

Couple of quick thoughts/replies: 1) Yep, there's plenty of stuff in the book that can be found in a basic civics class. However, not everyone has taken a basic civics class -- and the material is (hopefully) useful to folks who have taken the class and want a refresher. 2) As for the "how to...

Awesome! I shall attempt to be urbane and genteel when I ask Michelle about it. "CanIseeit?Huh?Huh?Huh?Whereisit?GimmeeGimmeeGimmeeNOW!" is so embarrassing. So, uh, how does it look? And did you see Ken Hite's review of Dynasties yet? twitchily yours,

Re: Re: Somewhat disappointed already (Gen Con Releases)... Oh, hell. There goes the budget again. Just take my wallet and gimmee the monkey, okay? (And a T-shirt.) I'm just going to tell my wife I got mugged in the dealer's room, she'll understand...

Those are really, really, really, really, cool. Friday seems like a very long time away. :( crossing his fingers and hoping real hard,

Ouch, James. Having been burned a few times myself (albeit on much smaller orders), I can sympathize. This is actually the reason why we don't have an automatic credit card processing system on our website. There's not a single order that goes through here until I personally examine and approve...

You'd almost think that they wanted to publish a core book and then let 3rd party publishers provide support to drive core book sales... but that's probably just crazy talk. ;)

Okay, this may be a stupid place to put this question, but I figure at least the right sort of people will be seeing it here. I can't get away from my store for the whole weekend, but I'm hitting Gen Con for a day so I can be at the Ennies. I'm busy meeting friends and wandering the con for...

While the topic is different (and just the sort of thing I like, so I'm looking forward to the book), I have to say I feel strangely flattered by the name change... :)

It's a rather offbeat RPG by Robin Laws, based on the Rune computer game. The Rune RPG features competitive roleplay, point-based encounter building, and dollops of faux-Norse violence. Like most of the Coriolis releases, Last Hero in Scandinavia features stats for both Rune and D&D. You don't...

Hello, Greyscott, my name is Chris and I'll be your shill for the evening. When you are roaming the hallowed halls of the dealer's room, take a moment to drop by the booth of Atlas Games, where you will find a newly-released ditty by the name of Last Hero of Scandinavia awaiting you. Pick it...

fba827: "Critical Hit" is a wonderful name for the golden award. I'm not sure what that makes the silver -- maybe a "Critical Threat"? (I also like that -- if you stretch the metaphor -- this makes all the nominees "Hits." :)) Your differing reaction points out why I don't know why I lean the...

Hm. This could just be me, but I'm not crazy about either phrasing. My understanding is that the awards are a recognition of achievement -- that they are won but not lost. "1st place / 2nd place" and "Winner / Runner-Up" seem to emphasize the competitive aspect, and that seems a little out of...

My most favorite-est book to have enter my house is <i>Dynasties</i>, for obvious reasons. But my favorite *purchase* has got to be "all the M&M books so far". Those have been fun pumped straight into my veins. Especially after getting to turn demented spyhunter John Jesus Angleton loose on...
