narutaki_icon_4040 That’s right! I’m going on my very first trip to Japan! Of course, it isn’t until May 2016. But that isn’t very far away when you are an over-organized traveler like myself. So I’ve decided to spin all my research (and insanity) into something at least a bit productive: a tumblr. You can follow me as I discover sights to visit, discuss trains and otaku culture, find the best places to eat, and plan all the other the details of my trip. If you don’t want to check-in on tumblr, I’ll be posting links on Fridays here on Reverse Thieves for all the posts I’ve made during the week.

hisui_icon_4040 A while back Kate and I did individual interviews for Electrum Edition about our experiences with table top role-playing games. Kate’s story was published back in July but then the blog went on a bit of a hiatus and my answers were never posted. But now that the Electrum Edition has gotten a second wind I also got my chance to shine. As I have been rolling dice and making saving throws for a bit longer than Kate so I have a slightly different perspective than her. She distinctly had much more to say about being a new player and her journey of discovery. I on the other hand could talk a little more about being a GM and seeing the best and worst of the hobby. If you love RPGs, want to know more about role-playing games, or just like to know what I’m like as a gamer then you should definitely see what I have to say about getting inspiration for story lines, the best part of sitting around a table, and my love for Mage: The Ascension.

Plus it lets me shoehorn in a Traveler reference on the blog again. This has become a pet project of mine at this point.
