Broke
The last couple of days have shown an amazing number of visitors to my site – way more people than I’ve seen before. However, you people are using up all my bandwidth, very, very quickly! I’ve spent almost $1 this week alone – which is way up from the typical $0.10/week that I was paying before.
So I’m going to have to bring up the dreaded “D” word again.
I’m hoping to avoid having this site go down again because of lack of funds, and if you would like to help prevent this, please show your support through a donation.
If you like either or both of my plugins, and would like to keep them available and up to date, please take a moment and donate a couple of bucks to me through. I use PayPal, which should work with any payment method you want to use, but if you want to donate in a more direct way, you can email me to discuss it.
Also, you can always link to my site, or tweet about it – Linkbacks and Tweetbacks back to you will be added automagically! So we can help each other out!
You can also give my plugins a good rating on Wordpress, if you want.
Thanks!

Updated Pages + Poll

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Whew! I did a little cleaning up on the site today – nothing major – I just moved both of my Plugin Pages to a be children of the “Wordpess Plugins” page you see above. Also, I finished adding some content to the wow-guild page, so that it’s more in line with the other page.

Spored

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

2364860198_4f98527f1bWhen i first learned of Mr Wright’s ambitious project, a few years ago in a blurry, Google video (before they bought YouTube), I was understandably excited.

Years later, Spore was released, and just the other day, I was able to finally pick it up and start playing.

I started up a new game, made my little carnivorous organism, and ate my way through to the top of the food chain. I enjoyed most every part of the game, and I’m still playing through the Space Age, and starting an occasional new creature now and again.

TrinkerI thought it would be interesting to break down some items of this game that I like, and those I don’t like. Since this is *meant* to be a Blog about Worldcrafting and Game Design, it might be useful. At the very least, it’ll be fun, and give me an excuse to show off some of my creations :)

Reverted

Friday, January 9th, 2009

I switched back to the last theme I was using…  Making my own theme was fun, and I learned a lot, but I like my site to have a cleaner look than I was able to create.

..also, does anyone have any suggestions for a better way to display a Character’s Gear in my wow-armory WP Plugin?

D&D Stuff

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I had been trying to run a D&D campaign for many months now (actually, probably close to 2 years), and over the last couple of months, the game has sort of grown stagnant, and dried up – because everyone always has stuff going on, and life is too busy, mostly.  I’ve been trying to get the game back on track, but it’s been very difficult to do – whenever one person is able to make it, someone else can’t, and vice-versa.  Since it’s a small group of players (just 3 players, plus me, the DM, and one of the players lives with me), we can’t really play if one of the people can’t make it, so I’ve been feeling more and more like we just weren’t going to be able to finish up the campaign.

Magics.

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I finished reading The Last Guardian last night – I flew through the book in a matter of hours, possibly because I happen to be a fan of Jeff Grubb… and it might be because of another arguably insane magic user he wrote about…

I know it’s never going to happen, but…

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

So, as you might remember from this post, I can’t help myself from thinking up elaborate plans for things that I somehow know are never going to happen… well, I had some inspiration last night, while I was lying awake, trying to fall asleep…
