Still Alive

Scott — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:11:02 +0000

Look at me, still typing when there’s science to do… To be brief: A family emergency has kept me more or less offline for the last month. It’s one of those things that didn’t seem like it would take long, and then kept complicating until much more time had passed than I’d expected. New posts [...]

Gencon in Review

Scott — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:03:33 +0000

I was treated to a short adventure of my own on my way home from Gencon: my return flight was evidently booked for September 16, instead of August 16. Of course, with a hundred thousand gamers leaving Indianapolis on Sunday, all of the flights out were fully booked. Fortunately, a ticketing agent for Continental went [...]

Gencon in Review

Off to Gencon

Scott — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:49:45 +0000

As of this afternoon, I’m on my way to Indianapolis for Gencon. I’m traveling light again this year and won’t have a computer along, so there most likely won’t be any posts until I return next week. (Build up a post buffer? That’s crazy talk!) If you’re going too, you can recognize me by the [...]

One Year of ABD (Plus a little…)

Scott — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:10:57 +0000

Somehow, I completely missed this, but June 10 was the one-year anniversary of A Butterfly Dreaming. So rather than the anniversary post I’d had planned, it looks like I’ve got a notice about going on hiatus for a week. Ha. In my defense, I had a couple of other things on my mind at the [...]

Never Split the Party

Scott — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:19:38 +0000

Words of sage advice. Of course, there’s always someone, some time, who feels they know better. Some players are inclined to split up at the drop of a hat. I offered a little bit of advice for handling that situation in the article I linked, but what more can you do? Personally, I let my [...]

Brief Hiatus

Scott — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:57:37 +0000

Earlier this week, I was involved in a hit-and-run accident that totalled my car. I’m okay, but naturally a bit stressed, and I find that the writing isn’t flowing right now. I’m going to take a break through the weekend or so. Will probably repost an older article or two in the meantime. Post from: [...]

Humor and Gaming Blog Carnival Roundup

Scott — Fri, 15 May 2009 13:37:26 +0000

The carnival has moved on to Roleplaying Pro, where this month’s topic is “The Future of Roleplaying.” April’s carnival on Humor and Gaming produced quite a few posts, though, so let’s get to them: Here at A Butterfly Dreaming, I presented the pun-laden Grape Jelly monster, and also discussed how such humorous stuff might be [...]
