Just a quick note to say that I'm heading off on my yearly pilgrimage to the Midwest and GenCon, unquestionably my favorite convention every year--a great writing track and, of course, gaming. After that I'm going to be home for only a few days before heading off again to the Wellspring...

Live Action Role Playing (LARPing) didn’t exist in my vocabulary until I read Cory Doctorow’s novel, “Little Brother,” last year. How cool to run around in costume, pretending to be a vampire, superspy or medieval hero. At my age, however, playing Grandma Moses seemed more my style. I decided to...
