Honor
Posted on August 21, 2006 | Filed Under Musings
I was sent this in an email. I did some checking (Snopes) and it is legitimate. Please pass it on. Stand. Salute. Honor.
Try this from Xerox.
If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com , you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can’t pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them…

Okay, I’ve got nothing better…actually I’ve got plenty better to do but since I’m feeling funked right now, I thought I’d do something that may provide me a little laugh and will drive CJ crazy. I give you the subject of the tag from The Unseen Blogger! Read more

Collaborative Roleplaying “Games”
Posted on August 9, 2006 | Filed Under All the World's a Stage, Gaming
I recently recieved the wonderful first volume of a journal about roleplaying entitled PUSH. The first article, entitled Collaborative Roleplaying: Refraiming the Game by Emily Care Boss, got me thinking quite a bit and I thought I’d put down some of my thoughts on the subject here.
First, I must say upfront, I’ve been identified by a friend and the editor of PUSH, Jonathan Walton, as a grognard. Old-school. 25+ years roleplaying But he has assured me in my case (I can’t speak for anyone else) that this is a good thing. I’m “quality” grognard. That said, I will sadly admit to a deficiency in playing many of the ‘cutting edge’ games that I continually read about in PUSH and in on-line forums. However, in my defense I did attempt to wrangle said editor and friend into running a game of Nobilis, but sadly it was not meant to be (it’s all your fault, Jonathan!)
Second, I was (and I guess still am) a professional actor. I have been involved in the craft of acting for longer than I’ve been roleplaying (DANG! That old, eh?) and have a Master of Fine Arts in the field. I’ve also done an extensive array of directing and in many ways feel my strengths are more grounded in this area of the craft of the theatre then acting.
All of that was not to toot my own horn (yeah, right!) but as an introduction to help give some credence to what I’m going to ellaborate on below. This way, you may think I’m a close-minded crackpot or just a crackpot but at least I’m speaking from experience (whether that experience is any more valid that anyone else is for another debate and I’ll be on the side that derides myself for such a claim.)
Now, on to the good stuff. Read more
