Back in the Labyrinth: A Productive Weekend

Welcome Back to the Labyrinth

"We have been away far too long, my friends," Ashoka declared, his face lit by the eldritch green glow of his staff. "But we have finally returned to the labyrinth whence our adventures first began."

"Just imagine the treasures that lie within," said Yun Tai, flexing his mighty muscles. "Wealth enough to live in luxury the rest of our days."

"And arcane artifacts of great power," added Ashoka his words dripping with avarice. "All ours for the taking!"

"Umm...guys?" Nysa interrupted. "Do you hear something dripping?"

A Productive Weekend

The funny thing about long weekends is that there is never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do. But as I struggle to stave off imminent heart-failure caused by gorging to excess on honey-glazed ham and my wife's sublime cheese and onion gallete, I must admit that while I didn't get around to the relaxing inactivity that I long for, I did get quite a few things done that have been hanging over my head lately.

I got my taxes done - and with days to spare!
I submitted my latest short story for inevitable rejection and, most importantly,
I finished the draft files for Megadungeon! a new board game by Hopeful Monster

Megadungeon! is the first of a series of old school micro games that Shane and I hope to produce, and is a game of dungeon exploration for the whole family inspired by my five year old daughter's love of the old TSR boardgame, Dungeon! You can follow the link to the Hopeful Monster site for more details.

Every year I get a refund, but for some reason I file my taxes late anyway.
