I neglect that blog more than I neglect this one. That will change soon, but until then, I'm copying and pasting my recent ... http://stone-baby.com/?p=92 In about a week, I'll be leaving for Denmark to attend Fastaval, where I'll be playing games, and running What to Do About Tam Lin, a LARP that Emily Boss of Black and Green Games and I have been co-writing for the past six or so months. (As you will ... http://stone-baby.com/?p=90 My husband and I had a conversation this afternoon about boots, more specifically Dr. Martens, and even more specifically, my 20 eye Dr. Martens that I bought for wicked cheap this summer. When they arrived I was so excited to wear them, but then I remembered that thing about Dr. ... http://stone-baby.com/?p=86 Yeah, I haven't been updating much lately. I wasn't at GenCon, the final Fisherman's Wife is not out yet, you probably haven't seen me at the usual internet forum haunts that I frequent. I'll be back soon. In the meantime I'll tell you what's been in the works while I ... http://stone-baby.com/?p=82 This past weekend I read Marlon James' The Book of Night Women. I couldn't put it down.

I got to spend a good hour talking about Tales of the Fisherman's Wife, which, insha'Allah, will be published sometime in June.

I'll run two very different sessions of Steal Away Jordan, Tales of the Fisherman's Wife, and with Tom Russell, I'll be hosting The Upgrade. Tales of the Fisherman’s Wife is a quick two-four player game inspired by ukiyo-e art and Japanese ghost stories. When ... http://stone-baby.com/?p=72 Now that GenCon 08 is done, here's what's on the SBG horizon: Tales of the Fisherman's Wife: I will do another ashcan run of handbound regular and handbound fancy. It will be a small run, stay tuned for preorders/reservations. I'm hoping to have the final edition out by January, and quite ... http://stone-baby.com/?p=70   I'll be at GenCon this year dividing my time between The Forge/IPR and the Ashcan Front booths, and will have games available at each: Steal Away Jordan at The Forge/IPR and Tales of the Fisherman's Wife at the Ashcan Front.   I've been hard at work on the latter.
