I’m leaving for a one week vacation tomorrow. I’ll be driving to Burlington Airport tomorrow night (a 2 hour drive), sleep over there and have fun with the TSA’s security rules from 4h30 AM onwards on Saturday morning to eventually land in Orlando somewhere around noon. We’ll be spending a few days with the Dire Mouse® and then join my father in-law in Daytona beach for the rest of the week.
During that time my online presence will be limited to checking emails once a day so don’t wonder why I disappeared from the comments. There’s a chance that spam linkbacks will appear but they are easy to deal with.
I’ll be back by Jan 25th, all ready to tackle new projects like a new Gears of Ruin adventure, write my 3rd gaming magazine article (one is in the publisher’s inbox) and do a LOT of prep for training seminars. I also mentioned on Twitter that I’m working on starting a Dungeon Mastering Podcast with both Dave the Game (from Critical Hits) and NewbieDM (from the blog of the same name). We’ll give you more details soon, we now have a project plan and deadlines!
Also, as I mentioned last week, I’ll soon be merging this blog with Critical-Hits.com. I don’t have a date yet since many technical details need to be addressed, but we went from the “maybe” category to the “most likely” one. Dave and Graham are hard at work hammering the details to upgrade CH to accommodate my blog.It will become a special section of the website you’ll be able to access easily from the front page. It will have its own RSS feed, although I hope that many of my readers will discover the excellent material that CH will produce (including lots of new columnists!)
So I’ll see you next weekend, if I succeed in vanquishing the trademarked Were-Rat!

Podcasts!
Will they be about D&D or will they be recorded D&D.
I personally loved the WotC’s series with the penny arcade fellas and would love to find more of that kind..
Now I come to think of it I wonder if the next series has commenced yet..
ChattyDM says
It will be about DMing, it will likely be short and to the point and it WILL be awesome beyond belief. 🙂
So no Actual Play planned. You have to know that I play in French and I think Newbie plays in Spanish so if we did Actual Play it would only be about Dave’s games… Not that there’s anything WRONG with Dave’s games. (/drama!)

Oh have a good trip. And grats! The merger sounds interesting.

I speak in Spanish to my mother.
Have a nice trip giving that evil rodent your Canadian cash.

Congrats on the move to Critical Hits. I’d heard the rumblings and think it will be a great merger for both parties. Despite the fact that I never find the time to leave comments, reading your stuff is one of my weekly must-dos.
Gordon says
Glad to hear things are going well for you! Can’t wait to get my books and take a crack that the fabled 4e.

What?!! I’m always the last to know these things!! Darn this “secluded” period of mine.
Well, have a great vacation, then!
