So, a random typo and a busy, stressed out week produced this*:

Dungeon A Day - Temple of the Black Goat
in Cartography
Though the map isn't up quite yet, I was the cartographer on this week's DungeonADay.com adventure, Temple of the Black Goat. As usual, you need to be a subscriber to see/use.
Star Wars Wednesday - Monsters & Halloween
I was going to head back into useful game advice this week, with a bit on adapting D&D 4e or Gamma World monsters and opponents for Star Wars use. With experience in designing the beast quick creation system for Saga in Unknown Regions, and D&D monster design from Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale, I'd hoped to find a quick and dirty way for GMs to do it on the fly.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Late Links
So, my schedule finally caught up with me. I finally missed a post after more than a year of Star Wars Wednesdays. The rest of the week won't be much better, time wise. In fact, I'm so pressed I'm posting this via my phone app, for the first time.
Read MoreDungeon A Day - Night of the Starbird Maps
in Cartography
I'm continuing to create maps on occasion for Dungeonaday.com. In this case, it's the for latest adventure, Night of the Starbird. As usual, you'll need to be a subscriber to see and use it.
Star Wars Wednesday - Halloween Jumpstart
Usually, I'm pretty late in getting ready for Halloween, or any Halloween party before the actual day. Since I just spent the evening helping a younger relative carve his pumpkin, I'm actually thinking a bit about it tonight.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - A Ton of Saga Stats
Yes, another post on short notice, thanks to some traveling for work this week....fortunately, fellow Star Wars Saga Edition freelancer Robert Wieland posted a link to a Saga Edition great resource...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Clone Wars Season 4 Water War
Busy weeks seem to be the order of the month. Or so. Anyway, I managed to squeeze in a viewing of the first of the new Clone Wars episodes for Season 4 this evening. Since I don't currently have any form of cable or satellite, I continue to watch via starwars.com. On the plus side, I can watch while on the treadmill. On the minus side, I didn't actually do that tonight. Maybe later this week when I get to the other two available episodes. I'll go ahead and throw a few comments out there on the first episode. Minor spoilers ahead.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Sketch Cards & the RPG
So, I started this post last week, then deleted it because it became too much like an earlier post, and I decided to go the starwars.com route anyway. This week I'm returning to the subject because:
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - The New Starwars.com
Another terribly busy week, so I'll look elsewhere again for some Star Wars inspiration. No, not the Blu-Rays. At this point, I'll wait until I see them to comment, if then. No, this time, starwars.com made a timely update for my weekly Star Wars musings.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Star Wars Architecture
It's not often that the two things I work on most often intersect directly - architecture and Star Wars - but every so often, something will crop up. This one is pretty unique - Lucasfilm's new Singapore building bears a not so passing, ultrasleek resemblance to a certain iconic vehicle from Star Wars.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Longarm of the West
So, I finally have a little more time this week to follow up on something handed to me at GenCon: Chris West's latest Maps of Mastery map. As with Chris' earlier maps, the Mass Transit III map works with Star Wars Minis, the RPG and most any sci-fi RPG out there.

Star Wars Wednesday - Two Words
OK, I have to admit that I'm behind on something and too busy this week to post something cool related to something I received at GenCon, so I just have two words for you:
Read MoreThreat Detected podcast interview part 2
While I was busy getting ready for GenCon, the Threat Detected podcast posted Part 2 of their interview with me. This one focuses on Dawn of Defiance specifics. You can find it here. The interview starts at about the 40:50 mark.
Star Wars Wednesday - GenCon 2011
It's been a busy week and a half, or so, between GenCon, preparing for GenCon, work, home and car disasters and work travel. On the plus side, GenCon went well and I think it will be an interesting year, both personally and in the gaming industry. We'll see how things go.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Fantasy Flight Games Announcement
Yesterday, Fantasy Flight Games announced they have the Star Wars games license. They were one of the front runners of the rumor mill, not the least of which was due to their high production values.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - ComicCon & Related News
Last week was San Diego ComicCon, which is always a hotbed for Star Wars related news and activity. Here are some of the items that caught my attention (some from the show, others just had similar timing):
Read MoreThreat Detected podcast interview
Recently, I was a guest on the actual-play Star Wars Saga Edition podcast Threat Detected. They're running through the entire Dawn of Defiance campaign, recording the sessions and posting them. They also post pictures of their sessions to their website, mainly of the map and terrain layouts during play. Part 1 of the interview runs in Episode 9, from the 1hr 29m to the 1 hr 53m mark. We discuss Star Wars and a bit of D&D 4e.
Star Wars Wednesday - Milk Run
So, last week I thought this was a good idea, but it's turned out less interesting than I thought it would be. So, don't be surprised if it's a bit on the short side.
