This weekend I finally got a chance to run a game using my Awesome GM Box. I thought some of you might be interested to hear how it performed in the wild. I was running my irregular Paranoia game. Something about being behind a large block of White made it feel all the better – [...]

Long Overdue ‘Duino Tag Link
I am a terrible person. Back in SEPTEMBER, I was contacted by someone who wanted to do an Instructable that expanded on the work I did for the ‘Duino Tag guns (originally as Paranoia props). He was seeking my blessing to proceed, which I gladly gave. He posted the Instructable in NOVEMBER, and I am [...]
More Stuff, New Etsy Store
I’m working to clear out laser cut goodies I made a long while back. I’ll be posting some things there over time, but for now there’s a few things to get started. http://www.etsy.com/shop/aterribleidea
I’ve Given Birth To An Obnoxious Howler Monkey
This is the first look at the project was code named “Obnoxious Howler Monkey” (though now that it’s done I will have to come up with a good name. If you’ve got one, comment below). The Obnoxious Howler Monkey is basically a customizable soundboard built with the GM/DM in mind. It consists of several parts. [...]
Playing With A Paranoia/Twitter Thing
I’ve had this idea for a bit, but tonight I finally decided to give it a try. I think Twitter is a fairly odd beast. I’ve seen some neat stuff, and some dumb stuff come through Twitter. I don’t really use it, other than for fun things. Like This. I couldn’t believe the name was [...]
Building an Arduino Based Laser Tag Game
I wrote a series for IBM on putting together an Arduino-based Laser Tag game called ‘Duino Tag. I held off on putting up any info here until the whole series was published. But now, all three parts are up. You have to register at IBM developerWorks to read the whole series, but registration is free. [...]

I’m gradually putting a few things up on eBay for sale. More of the laser cut goodies I’ve been putting together. Like these: Take A Look
Look what I just got in the mail
I’ve been working on these a while. My prototypes just got here. Genuine Alpha Complex issued cards worth 10,000 Plasticreds! Be the envy of all your clone neighbors. The small text is a little hard to make out, I’ll try to post higher res photos later. But for now, here are here are some more.
More Projects I Can't Tell You About (Yet)
In addition to the project I can’t tell you about, there’s a new project I can’t tell you about yet. It’s similar to the first project (which is still on, even though I can’t tell you more about it). I should be able to tell you about this new project soon. It also involves a [...]
The Project I Can't Tell You About
I have a new prop project I can’t tell you about. I have been approached by someone with a request to put together an electronic, gaming related prop. I’m in the early stages, but I have some good designs down and some great ideas coming together. I wish I could tell you more, but I [...]
