Games: n. pl. 1Performances in enjoyment. 2Internet applets designed to waste your time. 3The benevolent replacement for television, which will yet build a more thoughtful society.
If you came here
looking for definition two above, you won't find it. I don't design that
insidious nonsense. What I may eventually come up with is a version of another
one of my games that can be played online. In that way I am an amateur designer
of gaming systems. People thought Gygax was a quirky fellow with a funny name
until his gaming system appeared in Dragon magazine, so I'm not totally off the
mark as a student of the engineering and mathematical sciences and arts when I
spend some of my free college time playing game designer. Most of the games I
make (and likely, will make) are played with friends over a tabletop, and use
dice and cards. This aspect of my life is non-transient, I am sure.
So aside from the games I publish, this heading includes my
commentary on games I have played, and some discussion of games I play. This is
only games in the literal sense; I will not, for example, recount how I tease
people or tie girls down with lover-boy rules. That goes under philosophy.
Metroid Manga: Starcraft&Metroid Campaign
Corollary
Fall 2006
I have revamped a manga that was presented to me in good faith as canonical to
the Metroid series. My rework contains a number of shameless alterations to spin
my version of the fantasy setting, in only a few points differing from the
original. My rework also contains a number of alterations made to read much
better in english, and the whole thing follows American comic style of reading
left-to-right. A few changes were made for flow. If you know where to find the
original, more power to you. If you want a peek at it from me, I suppose I
could grant one. I
warn you, though: I was able to salvage the first one, but the second contains
too much jank to work around.

Starcraft&Metroid Campaign
Rules Changes
The first utterance of my rules changes set to online flavor. I would make a wiki, only I don't think it would be so helpful compared to the sonofabooch it would be to learn to make a wiki.

Starcraft&Metroid Campaign Setting Resources
Fall 2005
This is where my players, or anyone else, may find game resources for my campaign setting. Hopefully I will soon have character record sheets for all in the form of a pdf. I have some sheets for now. I decided to make three files instead of one big old file. It will help me update things. Hell, why do you think I split everything up as is? That's if Diane means to make good on her offhand offer to make me a pdf. You're beautiful, Miss Diane.
