Beowulf Errata

Hey, folks, if you have questions or want to point out errors in the Beowulf ashcan, please bring them over at the Beowulf errata thread in the Xenoglyph forum. I look forward to hearing back from all the enthusiastic folks who purchased it at Gen Con and before.

I’ve got a couple of copies left. If you want a copy before they’re gone, you should order one quick!

Order Beowulf (sold out.)

So Tired…

Thank you, all you excellent folks at Gen Con for giving me such a good time in Indianapolis this week. I’m totally exhausted and sitting in the genuinely impressive Indianapolis public library, chilling out while I wait to head out to the airport.

On the way, I intend to eat at Major Restaurant, an East African restaurant where I ate with Malcolm Craig, Vincent Baker, and Jim Pinto the other day. It’s right by the airport and man, it’s wonderful. The food here in Indy is so grim, getting something spicy and made on purpose is really great.

I’ll be posting stories over the next few days, most likely. But I want to say thanks a bunch to the Playcollectivists, thanks to Anna, Graham, and Danielle for finally playing with me — my first time with any of you, and all at once!

I had a great time talking with people about building games, too. I look forward to seeing what Will Schoonover does with Out of the Grey and I’m really excited to read what Clyde L. Rhoer has done with Silence Keeps Me a Victim.

Fear of the Tiny

Don’t worry. This will only be used to monitor evildoers.

Oh, hey, and that reminds me:

Boomerang drone

This is from a New York Times article from 2006. Man, the evildoers must be shaking in their boots!

When the Phantom Sentinel takes flight, it looks like an awkward boomerang — a set of three small blades. It spins in a circle, faster and faster as it ascends into the sky. Then, when it reaches about 50 feet, it whirls so fast that something remarkable happens: it vanishes right before your very eyes.

It’s a good thing we’re protected by the US constitution from being spied upon by our own government! Otherwise, we’d be in really big trouble!
