I've always wanted a picture like this.


And now I have it.

    1. Move to Spain
    2. Raise bird army
    3. ???????
    4. Profit!

    I cliked 3 for you, curious to see what happens.

    I love you colloumn and read it regularly. In fact I am even seriously thinking of throwing some money your way. If you knew me you would know that does not happen very often.

    So what is the best way to contribute to the blog? I see the pay pal donate button but I am not quite sure where the money would go.

    You have chosen to ask for money this month (sort of, which is fair, even when I do not contribute I do not mind being asked). So can you go the next step and outline what the other options are to contribute.

    Thanks for the wonderful stories.

    Bobby - those birds loved me. although, I do think they would have armbared me for more seeds.

    Joshie - very funny.

    Lggins - Blow me. And not in a gay way. :-)

    Anon - Glad you're enjoying the stories. I need feedback like that to keep going. Any way you want to help out is great. Clicking links goes to me. Buying Quest for the pro tour goes to me. The paypal link goes directly to me as well. It's all good.

    Hoping to have Mari;yn's story up before August and I hope people will buy that and I can get an agent through it.

    Cheers all

    I cannot believe it's been over 2 decades since we met, Jamie! However, I read your blog this morning and realized why I love you so much (and not in a straight way)! You have a wonderful heart and spirit. You are lyrical, thoughtful, introspective, and yet fun and zany. You are the hardest worker I have EVER KNOWN! and You keep metamorphosing (is that a word?) right before my eyes. You are an inspiration. The mere fact that you feel like the dumb shit in the room but keep coming back to more attests to your strength of character (Is that charisma in D&D) Yes, and even after dating and being married to a zillion people who play D&D I still can't remember 'da rools!' You also reminded me this morning why my blog might actually be of interest to others out there, because they way you discuss game playing reminds me of the way I talk about theater. It all applies. Enjoy your week!!! Hugs to you and Wendy.

Army Magic

As requested. Army magic was a variant that the old "Team Quarterstaff" invented years ago and I published an article about it in Scrye. Army Magic: A Multi-Player Variant By Jamie C. Wakefield Axelrod Gunnarson glared out over his barbarous and supernatural army. The foul smelling Karplusan Yeti’s; the Sengir Vampires flying high above; the myriad wizards, clerics and monsters that made up his forces. How the Angels and the Elves held out for so long against him was vexing and inconceivable. He had long ago crushed Palladia-Mors and his Goblins and Dragons. Soon after that, he had defeated the nigh unstoppable Lord of Tresserhorn and his army of Merfolk, Doppelgangers, and Zombies. But still Asmira and her Angels resisted him. If only he could lure them away from her accused Castle, he would have them! But as long as she and her followers remained behind the mystic walls there was little his army could do. For now he would have to wait, and plan. There are many variations fo...

Greed and the One Percenters

It is baffling, and sad, to me that part of the world thinks that profit > all, even at the expense of human dignity.  It gnaws at me every day when I go to a chain gas station or a McDonalds or any other place where I know corporate profits are > everything else in the world. Why can't McDonald's pays its workers more? We all know they can. We all can pay a dime more for a Big Mac. It's like this everywhere. In the UFC, Dana White was brilliant at bringing the sport to mainstream America and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the Fertitta brothers, who were already billionaires. And even though they could pay their fighters more, they don't. The last payroll for the last event was under a million dollars. The UFC is like the NFL of fighting. The number one organization. Some of the guys that make it there get paid 2k to fight. Meanwhile, Dana and the brothers are gambling away millions at the tables in Vegas.   Yes, I know how the right will respo...

Magic

Wendy and I have just had a long talk. I am getting back into Magic and making a run for the title. My goal this time isn't going to be to get back on the Pro Tour, but to win a Pro Tour. Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II will be available in early June. The reason for this is I need to proof the physical copy of the book that is sent to my house in Vermont and we will be there June 2nd. I will be playing Magic Online until we go home then playing physically anywhere I can find a game while there. When we return to Spain in September I will be playing at a local shop a half kilometer away and writing about playing Spanish Magic with a limited vocabulary.
