Punching 2019 in the face: March edition

Well, it's time to recap the month of March. It's the end of the first quarter...let's check the punching-2019-in-the-face score! Goal 1 Make a useful profit from the Hufflepuffery Etsy shop. When we checked in on February, things weren't going so well. In the shop's fourth month of existence, the initial trickle of sales slowed to...

Oh, all right…I’ll do it…

Grumblegrumble... I hate New Year's resolutions. But whatever, I guess I'll make some anyway. Thing is, there actually are some very specific things I want to achieve this year. Not things I ought to do, like get in shape and lose weight, but things I WANT to do and haven't been doing enough of. (And...

Short Story Thursday…it begins

Somehow Tuesday blew right past me. I totally forgot to put anything on the blog, didn't even realize it until coming home from work on Thursday. But I have not been idle. No, far from it. I've been carving more wands for the Etsy shop (and sold two), put a digital product up for sale,...

The starting line is a trip wire

The starting line is a trip wire. It's a great, brutal song by a band called Armed for Apocalypse (saw these guys play live w/Crowbar a couple years ago; they kicked ass). And it's also the brutal truth. Especially when you have depressive tendencies like I do, it just seems that failure is baked in....

State of the FAR System

With warmer weather, fragrant blossoms, and new leaves, this seems like a good time to assess the state of the FAR System and what's next. First, a bit of new news: We're on RPGnow.com and drivethrurpg.com as Two Far Publishing. Nothing uploaded yet, but I'm working on a gaming aid that will probably go up...

Going Public

So I decided on the spur of the moment (aided by some Buffalo Trace bourbon) to take this blog public. I've been hesitant to do it, I guess because I feel like it might be a commitment I can't fulfill. It makes the whole FAR System somehow more real -- which I do want it to...
