Dramatis Personae The Commander (Doug) – telekinetic super-soldier with a really angry dog (Yukio). The dog is a powerful ally (250-300 points) and very intelligent and very, very aggressive. Arc Light (Christian) – battlsuited gadgeteer with electrical powers The Rat Queen (Emily) – brick with super-perception; made of actual rats Eamon Finnegan (Kyle) – smooth…
This has been, bar none, the biggest month in Gaming Ballistic’s short existence. A lot happened! These updates are going to come monthly now, so that they’re more interesting. Admin Daniel and I turned on the Gaming Ballistic web store. Right now, there are only two items on there: the Dungeon Grappling PDF and the…
I never regret talking to +Peter V. Dell’Orto. Today were were chatting over Skype, and in a few short moments, a few things he said triggered a flow of ideas that will result in me revamping a long-pending Pyramid article. The article covers three topics. Well, maybe four. Has to do with weapons, using them and…
Earlier this week I published a Reloading Press article on the .277 SIG Fury, a proprietary high-pressure cartridge whose case is constructed in three pieces to handle the colossal 80,000 psi that is needed to meet the latest US Army requirement to fling a 135 grain, 6.8mm projectile out of a 16″ barrel at speeds…
+Christian Blouin made an interesting comment on Google+ in response to my Shoot/No-Shoot post. He said: I was toying with the idea of asking players what would be their next action before resolving the current one. Cancelling their decision on the following turn would impose a “Do Nothing”. Maybe a tactics check could allow to avoid…

I expect that you'll keep us updated here or on G+ as a reminder when they go live. I didn't see any obvious way to add your posts there to my RSS feed.
I will – I'll also replicate the prior week's post the day before the following one goes live. Some of the posts are long enough that I've broken them in two, others are even longer but breaking it up into pieces didn't make as much sense.
Excellent! I'll try to find reasons to comment over there. I know that people employing bloggers like that sort of thing even more than bloggers like getting comments. 😉
FYI, "employ" in the "getting paid for this" sense isn't accurate – I'm not on the payroll over there. Jeffro liked my work, recommended it to the management, presumably they read some of my stuff (or at least my first sample post once I got my groove on), and asked me to write more.
Sorry you feel you have to associate yourself with people like that (check out their lead editor's publicly expressed views some time); I hope the boost to your career is worth it.
I don't endorse his publicly expressed views any more than I endorse any particular views by any other venue which hosts, but does not dictate, my work. The writing itself is, and always will be, based on gaming only.
Thank you, RogerBW, for pointing that out. Sorry, Douglas, I don't want to give that "racially aware" person any clicks. I'll just have to wait for your later publication here.
I respect that. You'll see the posts appear here starting next Monday morning, and weekly thereafter.
