Can it really have been over a month since my last blog post? BW asks “What are you? Some sort of blog slacker?” I guess so…

NatureBoy and I attended our first day of Northeast Wars 2009 today, and had a really nice time. For the morning session, we split up. NB was very excited to play a round of HeroScape, which was a big hit last year. I played my first Prime Time Adventures, this one set in the Firefly/Serenity universe.

Beloved Wife came to collect us for a lunch break, then brought us back for an afternoon Wiz-War game with the the same gentleman who introduced us tot he game at Carnage in November and inspired us to create our own Wiz War set. We had a good time chatting about the process of building the set and I got some new energy to get working on our set again.

I worked had over the past couple weeks on the convention booklet, doing some cartography, simple artwork and the book layout. I am quite pleased with the result.

Here’s the cover of the con booklet (with artwork by Melissa Benson):

And here’s a map of the conference venue that I did:

We’ll be going back tomorrow for more fun.

Today I fired up an older computer, and I had set the desktop background to an image created by Stephan Martiniere called Angel City. KGS saw it over my shoulder and asked where I got it, and I couldn’t remember. But google and the filename led me to him.

blue-grey cityscape with soaring structures that dwarf lumbering ships that thread their way through the scene.

Very beautiful.
