Hello guys! Greetings from North Carolina, where the hurricane is bearing down on us (but we're far enough inland that we should be fine).

After a long hiatus, I've been playing Shadowfist again--because my son Strummer is 12 years old and he digs the game. I actually went so far as to make us draft pods so we could run two-person drafts from all the sealed product in the attic. If we can just get a third player, we'll really be in business...

I wanted to let y'all know that I'm blowing through town quickly next week to host a book-release party for THE BEAUTIFUL BOOK OF EXQUISITE CORPSES, a creativity book that has contributions by everybody from Stephen Fry to Moby. If you're free on Tuesday night, come by! It'd be great to see you!

Details: Tuesday, September 18th. 7 pm to 9 pm. We're gathering at The Armory, which is a cool bar at 67 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11217. (A very short walk from the multitude of subway stops at Atlantic Avenue / Barclays Center.)


If you want to know more about the book and where you can buy it:

I miss you all and hope you are well.

Nice to hear from you, Gavin, thanks for the note!  Congratulations on the book release, and I hope the weather doesn't treat you too poorly.

My son, Ashton, is almost 9 now, and we, uh ... well, we're, um ... we're playing Magic these days.  (I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me!)

Joe and Gavin:
   Also great to hear from you two...
    I'll sadly trump the stories with the fact that my son is now off at college... in Texas, at UT Dallas.
    Still hard to believe.

Mazel tov, Bruce!  I remember playing Shadowfist with him when he was about Ashton's age.  May he have every success.

Thank you kind sir. 
I can say with confidence that wishing Ashton the success that Zachary has had so far, and the naches he provides would be a great blessing.
Much pride.

Robert Heinlein:

“Can I trust you, my friend?”
“If you can’t, then what is my assurance worth?”

Beyond This Horizon (1948)

"
Between being ‘right’ and being kind, I know which way I vote." 
I Will Fear No Evil (1970)

“People tend to fall into three psychological types, all differently motivated. There is the type, motivated by economic factors, money... There is the type motivated by ‘face,’ or pride;  And then there is the professional type, which follows a code of ethics instead.  (Unlike the others) such a man believes that he is devoting his life to some purpose more important than his individual self."  
-- Space Cadet (1948)
