It’s been a while, that’s for sure. I really do miss writing on here, so I may try to pick things up. However, in the not too distant future, I’ll be moving the site around and making it mostly static. Having a Halloween post up for the past couple months has convinced me that I don’t write consistently enough to keep the blog as the homepage.
And now for something completely different. I am a complete dork. People who know me are aware of this, but they are rarely cognizant of just how weird I really am. Here’s an example. People who know me know that I like Star Wars. They also know that I like video games and games in general. However, most of them don’t know that I…
*shhh, whisper voice*
enjoy playing tabletop role playing games. Notably, Star Wars D6 system from West End Games. Once every so often, Holly and I have a bunch of people over and we create fictional characters and complete missions for the Rebel Alliance. I even created a forum online for it. Here, I’ll give you an official link:
Star Wars Role Playing West End
Cool, huh? I know, I know, not cool. However, it’s really very fun. It’s somewhere in between playing a video game and writing a story. You get these really cool characters and tons of creative freedom, but you have to think fast and come up with innovative solutions.
Seriously, if you’ve never played any RPG, this one might be a pretty good intro. It’s a very simple combat system, and creating a character takes 15 to 20 minutes. Think you might be a bounty hunter, in it for the cash? Or maybe an Outlaw out for revenge? Or perhaps you’re a socially awkward engineer. Quiet scout? Washed-up Jedi? The possibilities are pretty much endless.
We’re playing this Saturday. Let me know if you want in. :)

Wow. I had no idea. You hide it well. No greasy pony tail hair, pizza stained shirt, action figure decorations at work, or any other clues. I WAS a bit suspicious back when you’d rigged your broken glasses with tape & a paper clip, but otherwise, you’ve done a good job at masking your inner dorkness. I’m guessing your wife dresses you, too??? (that’s a compliment, by the way)
Indeed. She does buy most of my clothes. :)
