Reflections

When I first submitted my design for Bloody 20s, I would have been satisfied if it was published by TSR as another game booklet, similar to the original Boot Hill, or Cavalier & Roundheads (yes, I am a fan of ECW).
I was surprised when the decision was made to give B20 the full boxed treatment and I was delighted at the map presentations.

Some facts about the maps: Bud's Garage is named after my Uncle Bud, who ran a garage and kept my first vehicles on the road at affordable prices. Virginia Place is named after my late Aunt Virginia, Bud's wife.

Hardy's fine meats was for a dear friend since grade school through college.

Pauley Construction was for a group of 5 brothers I worked with in a Cemetery, during my college years.

I always wished I could have been an observer at the "Algonquin Round Table". I am getting old...for more info, google it.

If you're smart, you can figure out the tribute of Maxwell Street. And, if you have a sense of humor you can see the potential conversations when talking to the owner of Costello's Candy Store.

And in the end....

"Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out."

With this post, this blog will be taking a break, and I will be turning off Comments. So, I ask that any questions or comments be posted to The Gangbusters board at Original D&D Discussion

Thank you.

So You Really Want to be a Game Designer ?

Alan Emrich's Top 10 Reasons to Become a Game Designer sums up the situation, as well as, I have seen game design described. But, I have also been privileged to meet some fantastic and creative people, of all ages, involved in the gaming hobby. And, then after 30 plus years, someone takes your game and makes a website like The Cleveland Stories, you smile, a sly smile. Thank you.

Thanks Michael, for your blog post . It, too, brought a sly smile to my face. "And, you're welcome."

After tomorrow, this blog will be taking a break, and I will be turning off Comments. So, I ask that any questions or comments be posted to The Gangbusters board at Original D&D Discussion Thank you.

As they said in the Gangster movies my Grandfather introduced me to, "That's my story, and I'm sticking to it." ;-)
