Casey made her way back to the kitchen, put together a simple lunch of what was on hand, and settled in at the table with a platter of apricot chicken salad, grapes, melon, and pineapple. As hungry as she was, she barely tasted the food she was eating; her mind was buzzing with everything she’d […]
Dear One Geek, Whether tabletop or LARP, certain folks I game with seem to have more fun bragging about how cool their characters are than actually gaming.

Casey awakened, stretching. Daylight was well into the room, the sun warm in the sky. The clock on the bedside table showed that it was just after ten a.m. She’d gotten about six hours of sleep and felt very well rested. She sat up, looking around the room. In the warm light of day the […]
This week’s topic comes through a rather circuitous route, so bear with me… It starts a month ago, when I spent the first two weeks of December on a writing retreat. The idea was simple.
