Leaving the job I've been at for the last few years today. It's been a good run and I wish the company and all my former colleagues nothing but the best. Looking forward to starting the new job next week.
Not sure how much free time I'll have but will update the blog, especially with gaming and homeschooling stuff, as soon as I've got my sea legs under me in the new role.
Also, blew away the archives of the blog. A lot has changed since the early-to-mid-2000s when I was last blogging regularly. Time for a "fresh" start, more or less.

Steel Wrist, Velvet Glove: A Flashing Blades Game
A few years back I discovered Flashing Blades, written in 1984 by Mark Pettigrew and still available in both print and PDF.
I quickly fell in love with the game and have been playing it, off and on, since then. I'm going to log campaign notes here until I get to the point where I want to build a wiki. For an example of what I hope to put together, have a look at Black Vulmea's Le Ballet de l'Acier over at Obsidian Portal. He also blogs at Really Bad Eggs which has several excellent series on how to set up and run a solid Flashing Blades game..
