To celebrate my brother going off to college and to cheer myself up about not being at either PAX or DragonCon this fine Labor Day weekend, I’m running a one week sale on comic prints. Call it a Back-to-School/DragonPax/Labor Day Sale….yeah!
From now until the end of next Thursday, you can nab yourself an 11″x17″ fine [...]

Thursday Bloggedy Blog Blog: Formspring and Used Games
By maryvarn on August 26th, 2010Posted In: NPC Blog, NPC News, Random Geekiness
Hello, Non-Player Readers! (NPR’s? Hmm, not sure about that one…)
Just a couple things.
First, I wanted to let you know that I have a Formspring account, because I’m totally living in 2009. But I think this social networking trend is still going strong. I added a link in the sidebar to the left. You can use [...]

Poll: The Future of Gaming in Retirement Homes?
By maryvarn on August 19th, 2010Posted In: NPC Blog, Polls, Random Geekiness
I find it hard to believe I’ll be content to play bingo and watch Jeopardy reruns when I’m well into my retirement. If arthritis or other ailments don’t prevent me from using a computer or playing video games, then I hope I can fill the hours doing something I truly enjoy.
Since the kids these days [...]
Video: Season 4 – Episode 5 – Loot Envy
It’s also the one-year anniversary of Do You Wanna Date My Avatar! And my birthday, which a recent age-anxious comic foreshadowed.
I loved oil painting in college, but I didn’t start until my junior year so I didn’t have much time with it. Then I moved to New York City, and the small apartments here aren’t exactly conducive to the fumey mess of mineral spirits and cadmium red paint.
So I finally took my first crack at [...]

GenCon Indy 2010 Day 3 and 4: The Wrap-Up!
By maryvarn on August 10th, 2010Posted In: NPC Blog, Random Geekiness, Table Top Games
I’m home from the exhaustingly fun GenCon. So exhausting in fact, that I neglected to post about the last two days on their respective evenings as I had originally planned.
So here goes: the last two days!
We got up bright and early to wait in line for Hickman’s Killer Breakfast, an event in which Tracy Hickman [...]
GenCon Indy 2010 Day 2
By maryvarn on August 7th, 2010Posted In: NPC Blog, Random Geekiness, Table Top Games
We started day 2 of “the best four days in gaming” with a workshop on making a chainmail dice bag. I’m not a super crafty person, and I’ve never made chainmail before, but I really enjoyed this. It was very zen to sit there making a little pattern of rings. But hard enough to not [...]
