Cryptid Codex Update
Old School Podcast Round Up Part 1
Ever since I ditched cable TV I’ve been turning to podcasts for more and more of my entertainment and information. One arena that I haven’t found covered very much is Old School and or Retro gaming. But never fear the few that I’ve found are particularly nifty.

Cryptid Codex Cover and Sample Page
Made some progress on my ML74 Fortean creature book I now call the Cryptid Codex
Here is the cover:
I don’t know if it’s gonna change yet, though I do like the image. The creature on the cover is a Cyclopean Ass in case anyone is curious.

This was created for [...]
Dungeon Runner
Dungeon Runner Time Keeper.

I call it Dungeon Runner , it [...]
Party Like its 1974
So I had a birthday recently and my youngest daughter asked me what I wanted. I bypasses the cake and ice cream and went straight for the jugular. Why don’t you draw me something, says I. Ok what should I draw?
