Back in The Saddle Again

Monday Meeting

That’s a cowboy and a vampire. I dunno why, but post Gen Con my brain looks like this inside. Of course, I am also one full week without my “precious magic go juice” Coke Zero, which I stopped drinking to see how my body would react. The answer, so far, is poorly- but since I was drinking a six-pack a day in the months leading up to Gen Con, I figured I might need to give it a rest. Still have various tea-based drinks, so not un-caffeinated, just much reduced.

Both of our WoDs got new releases today with cWoD getting the PDF and PoD versions of V20 Rites of the Blood activated: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/131877/Rites-of-the-Blood

And nWoD’s Demon: The Descent gets its Flowers of Hell: The Demon Players Guide PDF and PoD versions activated: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/131419/Flowers-of-Hell-The-Demon-Players-Guide

Eddy and I talked about ageism in the video game business, a logo for his company, and Pugmire. Then he joined the Onyx Path meeting to discuss Gen Con with the usual crew. Lots of good ideas for how we can make a stronger booth presence next year. Anybody who was there, please give us your thoughts about how we did and how the booth seemed to you this year. Thanks!

Without further ado.

REASON TO DRINK: I dunno, should I? So hard to think without my Coke Zero….
