I don’t drink out of a National Reconnaissance Office coffee mug all the time, but when I do I do so with an SR-71/CIA challenge coin.
(Many thanks to Daniel L. for sending these to me after a visit to the NRO’s gift shop.)

Bought a deck of Magic: The Gathering for the first time in my life. When I worked on it back in ’94-’95 I got it for free. TEAM BLUE!
I spent much of my eleventh grade Advanced Math class drawing an enormous fantasy city on graph paper for my Dungeons & Dragons campaign. If I knew then that one day my friends would make a horking 512-page full-color book all about their own enormous fantasy city, and that said city would be lousy with pirates and nameless horrors, I think I would have shit a brick. This Kickstarter is in its last few days — still time to check it out!
Got seven bucks? Then get the first episode of Kentucky Route Zero, a new adventure game for Windows/Mac. This was the first Kickstarter I ever backed, in February 2011, and at long last they’ve got the first episode out the door. I played the beta in December and loved it.
It’s a quirky mix of point-and-click adventure game with Bioware-style conversations and even some Infocom-style text-adventure sequences. The setting is a sort of Unknown Armies version of Kentucky, as a delivery driver and his hound dog meet a series of strange characters en route to a secret underground highway.
I loved the partial beta I played. Watch the trailer and give it a shot.
An artist friend of mine is producing this new 11″ artist’s model/armature via 3D printing that uses actual human proportions and range of motion, unlike those wooden mannequins in art stores. Very nicely done and just $20 while he’s raising funds to produce more.
Help me put this innovative armature to market. All of it will be produced and manufactured in my studio in Redmond, Washington

King of Dragon Pass is my favorite iPhone/iPad game. It’s a deep strategy game with strong storytelling. It sells for ten bucks, which is crazy talk in iOS land, but it’s worth the money. To celebrate selling their 25,000th copy, the game is 25% off for 25 hours. Get a copy and settle in. It’s unforgettable.
Get King of Dragon Pass on the App Store. See screenshots and ratings, and read customer reviews.
Watching Ultraviolet again years after I first saw it. It’s still the most Delta Green-ish show I’ve seen. Terrific series — why no sequel?
