I don't think there will be many people reading this who are (a) gamers and (b) not already aware of Claw/Claw/Peck, head58's groovy new gaming blog, but it occurs to me there are a few.

(For instance: Ephemeral Circus, meet athenalindia and theclevermonkey--I've been gaming with them (among others) in London, at least until I had a baby and completely marooned our post-apocalypse Deadlands campaign at an excruciating cliffhanger; athenalindia  and theclevermonkey , meet the Boston circus (among others)--sorry for being AWOL so long.)

Claw/Claw is off to a nice start, with an admirable focus on praxis, both in the sense of "actual practical application" and also in the sense that that's the name of  one of editswlonghair's Agon hacks. So far I have contributed three Alternate Alpha Complexes, which isn't especially praxis-y, but hey, that's how we do.

(I think at one point the excellent Allen Varney and his merry band of traitors were working on a book of alternate worlds for PARANOIA, which is the sort of thing that could bring even me out of lurktirement. But I don't know what ever came of it. My understanding is that PARANOIA is now the work of one in-house writer, so Allen and the traitors' more glorious schemes have probably been shelved.)

Does the world need a new gaming blog? Perhaps not, but I'm more interested in what these particular guys have to say about gaming than I am in 90% of the gaming pundits out there. Plus the most recent post gives me credit for inventing the flashback, so I'm digging it.

Hmm, I'm reminded of jokes about stealing acts and the such.

Anyway, I owe you (and everyone else) an email about some potential skyope Pantellos now that Bryant has departed for Maryland.

Oh excellent.

The standard terminology is "stealing my bit". :)

You were lucky my comment wasn't a mish-mash of weirdly strung together letters and you expect me to get my references right? Darn professors.
