A new year means a new Monday Meeting!
- I’m at home on the last day of my vacation. Rich compliments the quality of the picture from my new laptop.
- Rich is still recovering from his elbow surgery. He explains his frustration in getting the injury because he was trying to avoid carpel tunnel. As a result, he’s still in his old studio.
- Rich saw Chuck Wendig’s Double Dead novel in Barnes & Noble’s. I talk a bit about my old pug dog’s health problems over the holidays.
- Both of us admit to being really tired by the time midnight rolled around on January 1. We’re getting too old.
- Rich is thinking about posting a retrospective of 2011 here on the blog. That will come at some point in the future.
- We talk a lot about some back-end business stuff, like contracts and paperwork. Yes, game design is super exciting at times.
- After that, we talk a bit about what we can do in 2012 and 2013. The discussion rambles a bit to the Old School Renaissance, Kickstarter, and Amazon.
- Rich compares classic World of Darkness and new World of Darkness to Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffett.
- I’m just coming back from vacation, so we don’t talk about specific projects.

Good comparison.
*chuckles* Does this even really count as a Monday meeting, or more of a long post-party conversation?
Well, since nothing much happened last week, and little will likely happen this week, I suppose there wasn’t too much to inform us about, or really get us talking about.
Here’s to 2012. May it be hugely successful, wonderfully productive, and amazingly rewarding for everyone… who isn’t Evil*!
(*politics included. 😉 )
The Apocalypse of 2012 will happen… and begin at The Grand Masquerade 2012!
Well, we did talk a lot about back-end business stuff, so it certainly was a meeting. But you’re right — not a lot of forward-facing stuff to really get into right now.
My comment was really meant to be more playful than it read, I think. You guys seem to be doing a great job with what you have at hand, so a rest to begin 2012 with isn’t too uncalled for. 😉
Fair enough. I have learned from hard experience never to assume tone on the Internet. 🙂
Well I for one greatly prefer the products of Moffet or Davis, so thats how I roll with the WOD too 😉
