I've finished a stint on the Ogre Miniatures second-edition rules, and tossed them Drew's way for his review.

The book features 100 pages of photographs and stories about some of the most influential people in the gaming industry, including our own Steve Jackson. You can find him under what appears to be 30 pounds of Ogre.

There's no place like home."
August was a very busy month for me; I had three conventions (Board Game Bash, Gen Con, and Fan Expo Canada) and was a guest at the Austin regional for the Unrivaled tournament series.
