Field Report : The Awesome GM Box In Action

Posted by & filed under Gaming & Design, Props.

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

Posted by & filed under Props.

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 [...]

Posted by & filed under Gaming & Design, Props.

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).

Playing With A Paranoia/Twitter Thing

Posted by & filed under Gaming & Design, Props.

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 [...]

More Projects I Can't Tell You About (Yet)

Posted by & filed under Gaming & Design, News, Props.

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 [...]
