But do I really need the degree?

Illinois Central College is going to begin offering a degree in game design.

(P.S. Yes, I was reading an Israeli blogger who informed me about something happening in my home town. The Internet is weird.)

A view to a move

2007-10-22

Yesterday, during the sermon, James McDonald discussed a family’s move during last winter. He pointed at it as an example of Christian community, how the church came together to help a family, how it was an encouragement to him.

That was my family.

If you were there for the sermon, you probably knew who he was talking about, but you might not know the whole story. So, for the benefit of my church family, I figured that I would tell our tale.

There’s a lot lying under the surface here which I don’t really feel comfortable laying out in any detail on the Internet. Some of you already know these details, and you understand. For the rest of you, I’ll be addressing a lot of things by implication and suggestion. If you want to ask me, come talk to me, but I won’t be clarifying anything here.

This shouldn’t be funny…

Dirty Secrets review

2007-10-22

Jocelyn Robitaille’s review of Dirty Secrets is up on RPGnet.

If you’re still here, it means you like film noir at least as much as I do, perhaps more. Good for you, because you’re in for a treat. Dirty Secrets is what some would call an indie game. The game describes itself as “a game for one player and many GMs,” and it is that. Still, you really should read on even if you feel iffy about the whole non-traditional RPG design movement. This might still be a game for you. I’m not anywhere near a die-hard fan of those type of games, yet my playtest session for the purpose of this review pretty much convinced me that this is a game I’ll be pulling from my shelf to play it again at some point, for sure.

He seems to like it.
