Illuminated Site of the Week
Will and I are back from Protospiel. We played several games, including a few upcoming SJGames releases that haven't been publicly announced, and had the chance to chat with several of the attendees about printing games, working in the game industry, and the game development process.
On Sunday afternoon, as the con was winding down, Alex Yeager of Mayfair Games showed us around Ann Arbor. We visited game stores (hey, we're gamers), a used bookstore, and enjoyed a quiet dinner. We also talked about games, game design, and the industry. Thanks, Alex, for a fun afternoon. It certainly beat sitting in our hotel room.
With the convention over, and life returning to the normal grind, I find myself dreaming of a similar con in Austin. If only I had the time . . .

Warehouse 23 News: Lifestyles Of The Rich And The Magey
A covenant is more than just a gaggle of bearded old guys with pointy hats that you can bum alchemical components from. It's also the guys who have your back at the next arcane throw-down. That's what Ars Magica: Covenants is all about: your posse. Oh, and also some stuff about character development and story depth and societal issues and all sorts of touchy-feely stuff. We just sorta skimmed all that.
