Our beloved Dungeon Master has failed his last Saving Throw. E. Gary Gygax, the infamous co-creator of the legendary fantasy RPG Dungeons & Dragons, has passed on after an extended illness.
Apparently this was first reported on the Troll Lord games site this morning by a close friend. Link: www.freeyabb.com/phpbb/viewtop…
Funeral arrangements are pending. Besides his wife, E.G.G. is survived by six children.
If you are anything like me, then AD&D was a big part of your formative teenage years. Nothing ended a battle quicker than a handful of 4-sided dice into the DM's face.
RIP Mister Gygax.

Looking for Employment Opportunities.
Greetings and Salutations,
This seems to be my yearly post. I just noticed that it's been about a year since I actually wrote something in my journal, silly me.
The main purpose for this post is to let people know that I am looking for employment opportunities (both of the freelance and the permanent variety) in the Graphic Design field. I have over 11 years of experience in the educational textbook market and I would be looking for something based in Toronto, Canada. While my forte is textbooks, I am also interested in talking about other types of books, magazines, ePublications and more.
Recently I completed a Web Design, Development, an

So, uhm... Hi!
Well if you're still watching me: congratulations, you are one of the very few.
It's been over a year since my last journal entry and although I have been on and around deviantART in all that time, entering things into my journal has not been a priority for me. So I thought it might be an idea for me to throw something new in here.
I noticed that I spoke of layoffs in my last entry from way back, and after a turbulent and busy winter it has finally happened--The company I worked for for over eleven years has gone out of business putting over 50 of us out of work. You can blame the US economy (our biggest clients were in the US), you can bla
Cory Doctorow on why you SHOULDN'T buy an iPad.
Cory Doctorow, author and Boing Boing blogger explains why you shouldn't buy an iPad.
Finally, someone else gets it. The iPad, like so many tech devices of today is fundamentally "flawed by design."
Why? The answer is DRM and closed content systems.
Apple seems to feel that the user is so inept that, not only can they be in control of the content that they purchase, they cannot even change a battery in their own devices anymore. Remember when your laptop would run out of juice and you could simply swap batteries? Not any more.
This problem isn't limited to the iPad however, look at the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes&Noble Nook, the new Chapter

This is a day of great sadness,
I remember that february 23rd of the year 1980 when I received as a birthday present that "strange" game made only of rules...
Dungeons & Dragons...
This game contributed to change my life...
Now I'm 42 and I regret the times when we could spend whole afternoons playing (and also all night long).
Today I still remember every adventure we played, "I6-Ravenloft" or the "Dragonlance" series.
Now we are all busy with our jobs and families and we lack time but every now and then we set up our little private AD&D convention, a weekend 100% dedicated to the game.
Farewell Gary we will miss you
Forever grateful
