Just a short status report on where various projects stand…
The Stork – It looks like the payments got processed sooner than expected, so I can potentially have the book printed several weeks sooner. I’ve completed the special Kickstarter edition of the book. I’ll give it another once over before sending it to the printer. I will be setting up a more involved web site for The Stork (and probably revamping all of my existing sites as well).
Dune – I discovered that there are typos that have been present since the original Avalon Hill edition of the game. I have updated the board with the “real” locations on Arrakis (Old Gap instead of OH Gap, Plaster Basin instead of Plastic Basin).
Talisman Revised rules – The play test session went really well and the new rules made the game more fun. Even though it made the game play faster turn by turn, it still took the usual 3 hours to finish the game.
House Mods/Redecorating – I now have a nice leather-looking storage ottoman to prop my feet up on as well as store Rock Band peripherals. Also, I had a small fire in the kitchen which caused some smoke damage. There is now a bright cobalt comic book-like BLAM shape painted over the ceiling and wall. I also added some more to the House of Whack mural thing I have going on in the kitchen.
Girlfriend – No measurable progress. I met a really fantastic woman with a fantastic life and house. No idea if she is into me or not. I spent a lot of time over-thinking it.
