Nathan Paoletta Your comment reminded me of the topic, yeah; I’ve been thinking on it a while. It wasn’t a trigger!

And you’re absolutely right about proximity. I am reminded regularly of what a complete fucking wasteland Arizona is in terms of small press roleplaying. There’s no play community here and precious little design in the past decade; the days of Fastlane and The Committee for the Exploration of Mysteries is a thousand years past. Look upon my works ye mighty and despair.

I’m really jazzed about making it to ABQ in a few weeks because I want to see what a convention and vibrant design scene actually look like (that isn’t NYC, because of course NYC is all that and more).

Who knows? I’m pulling together notes and ideas for PaulCon (Spring 2016! Save your pennies!) and maybe, just maybe, there are still a few vital spores left in the dust here, waiting to be watered.
