Recently I had to go through and apportion which of my father's dice would go to a nephew—himself a gamer—and which I would keep. I opted for some of the oldest dice in Dad's old collection, and will be sharing images of many of them here as I get to it.

This month represents the second year of Orc.one. I've written about it before now, and all of that still applies.

For the next year, I aim to increase the quality and quantity of my own commentary on the hobby, from the gameplay diaries to meta-discussion on the nature of my own nostalgia. There may be more writing about the personal history I have with the hobby, but I also intend to have new experiences to write about.

As a volume of speculative evolution from the artist of Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials, originally published in 1990, Expedition has few peers, even 30 years later. This is a seminal work of fiction, nevertheless. I don't think it's any exaggeration to say most artists who dabble in speculative evolution are aware of this book and what it has meant.
