And in the end....

"Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out."

With this post, this blog will be taking a break, and I will be turning off Comments. So, I ask that any questions or comments be posted to The Gangbusters board at Original D&D Discussion

Thank you.

So You Really Want to be a Game Designer ?

Alan Emrich's Top 10 Reasons to Become a Game Designer sums up the situation, as well as, I have seen game design described. But, I have also been privileged to meet some fantastic and creative people, of all ages, involved in the gaming hobby. And, then after 30 plus years, someone takes your game and makes a website like The Cleveland Stories, you smile, a sly smile. Thank you.

Thanks Michael, for your blog post . It, too, brought a sly smile to my face. "And, you're welcome."

After tomorrow, this blog will be taking a break, and I will be turning off Comments. So, I ask that any questions or comments be posted to The Gangbusters board at Original D&D Discussion Thank you.

As they said in the Gangster movies my Grandfather introduced me to, "That's my story, and I'm sticking to it." ;-)
