I’ve overhauled many blogs many times over the years, and this time around I embraced WordPress’ emphasis on customization without coding and installed the excellent default theme, Twenty Twenty. This saved me hours of hunting for themes (which often turn out to be expensive, crappy, or both) and more hours tweaking their code. But an […]

This blog has had the same logo since 2012, and it felt like it needed an update. Here’s the new logo: It’s in the Disco Inferno font created by Nick Curtis of Nick’s Fonts, which I licensed for use here on Yore. The old logo, retired as of today, was this one: Regrettably, I didn’t

After nuking all my Judges Guild posts — along with, in the past year, much of my personal fandom for the old-school corner of the RPG industry — it felt like it was time for a change around here. Having recently spent a couple happy hours scrolling through five years of archives on the excellent

With the impending shutdown of Google+ — my primary (and generally only) social network and outlet for gaming chit-chat since 2012 — I’ve been slowly making my way through stuff I posted there which, in hindsight, I should just have posted here on Yore. Some posts stood alone, and should just have been Yore posts

Back when we lived in Utah, we went to Salt Lake Comic Con every year. Our 2014 trip included two of my favorite moments with my daughter, Lark. These were originally posted on different days on Google+, but I’m pulling them into one post here (since G+ is going the way of the dodo). April

While packing for our move to Seattle in 2015, I came across some comics and RPG stuff I created in the 1980s and early 1990s. I posted about them on G+ back in 2015, but with the impending shutdown I thought I’d rescue them to share on Yore. Comics At age 10, I was photocopying

Steve Rogers, PR disaster is amazing. Context from the intro: ““Wait,” says Sam, “you had a publicist?” “For my first five months at S.H.I.E.L.D,” says Steve. “Then she quit. Uh, decisively.”” The rubber meets the road: “The problem was his mouth. First there was that brief period of time before the rabble-rousing got off the

I thought I joined Google+ in 2012, but having just finished scrolling through my entire post history to identify posts I need to move to Yore, I see that I was wrong. I’m still checking my stream there a couple times a day, and still posting, but having found the few dozen “should have been

Like a lot of tabletop gamers, I’ve gotten tons of great mileage out of Google+. I started using it in 2012, and for the past six years it’s been my first stop for all things gaming-related. I met my Seattle gaming group through G+. I’ve made friends via the site. I’ve learned about oodles and

Having seen several folks I respect voicing concerns about MeWe, hate speech, and hate groups, and after watching the relevant section of the YouTube interview where they addressed that topic, I found the official line pretty unconvincing. So I emailed MeWe a question about their policy on hate speech and hate groups: “Howdy! I’m a
