I've been lurking on and off here for a few years, mostly to keep an eye on the news. A couple of months ago, I started writing some modules for a con, and I realized just how very rusty my writing skills had become. So I decided to post here a little bit, get some practice. So far I haven't noticed any major improvement, but just give me some time, man...
On my desk: Dust and hairs, two pens and a coloured pencil (red), paint, a couple of soundtracks (Finding Nemo and Kill Bill), a portable cd player, a few dozen 3.5 disks, a Langenscheidt english dictionary, two dozen Fat Tire Amber Ale coasters, a disturbing clay head, two boxes of Rackham minatures, one box of the Rage ccg (2nd edition), one computer and monitor featuring Azumanga Daioh stickers, stapler, post-it notes, matches, occasional cat.
On a side note, the con was last weekend, and the three games that I wrote and ran all turned out quite well. I'm currently writing some more to run at the next con in the area--which is in August, I think. I've been roleplaying for about 15 years or so, give or take, but this is the first time I've really gotten involved with conventions and stuff. It's turning out to be quite interesting.
