Well it’s been an interesting morning in terms of UK roleplaying and convention organisation. GenCon UK this year was a disaster in so many ways. Peter Adkinsons response is to not organise a GenCon in Europe for the next 2 years and to sell a license on a national basis for anyone who does want to take the risk.

Sacriledge!
I co-run Endless Realms.
I love Neil Gaiman and his works.
And yet the man himself is only mentioned in three threads!
Okay, I’ll tell you what they are:
Neil Gaiman related jealousy (http://www.endlessrealms.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2807)
The Sandman is Back! (http://www.endlessrealms.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2648)
Book and Chars! Chars and Books! (http://www.endlessrealms.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1525)
Blatant advertising? Maybe. Do I care? Hardly! 
The current mood is annoyed. I am annoyed because of people interfering in my life. I resent it. Every last ounce of it. I can be trained, like a monkey, to tone down my resentment for work related activities.
But when people I work with believe they have a right to interfere in my private life, the angry young man who once handled most of my cerebral and verbal activity threatens to return to full conciousness.
I do this too often. I begin a journal, I let it tail off. I start another… and let it tail off. And generally what happens is that if I haven’t managed to lose the previous journal, as is the case in the rediscovery of my LiveJournal account, I re-read the whole lot and find myself thinking it all drivel and being tempted to delete the lot.
But I won’t this time. Let there be a record of the random burbling of my sometime-active brain.
