Indie Games Explosion

Going to be at GenCon? Do you want to run an indie game? (Including Polaris?)

Get in touch with Michael and Kat Miller's Indie Games Explosion sooner rather than later. This will help the publishers a lot, but it will also nigh-ensure attendance for your game (we will be advertising the games at the Forge booth, which is one of the most popular retailer booths in the convention.)

Even if you're only just thinking of going to GenCon (and please, do!), it's better to sign up now and cancel.

Frustration

So I just got back from the visa office. My extension is going to take until monday, no expediting possible.

Well, fuck! I could have gone to Hong Kong, picked up my computer, and gotten my visa handled faster than these bozos can manage. I only wish that they'd told me (or I had thought to ask) before they had my passport sealed and filed away.

So, stuck in Shanghai for five more days while the rest of my life waits for me elsewhere. Just frustrating as all hell.

Notebooks?

Am I the only designer in the world who doesn't keep tons of notebooks around?
