Wow, it's been a long time.  I forgot about this blog.  Someone reminded me about it recently, and just now stumbled onto it.  I live in Mongolia now.  I took an 8 year hiatus from game design, terminated by five games for the Checkers set in the past few weeks.  Michael Amundsen contacted me about Cage a few weeks ago to see if his rules implementation was correct, which it was.  (Reading the Cage rules was like reading it for the first time.  I completely forgot Cage and a few others.)  He then asked me to let him know if I were to come up with any new designs.  That's all it took to kickstart me.  I've been very productive lately, but who knows how long it will last?  Check my website.  The Thoughts section is new.
