Midnight video beyond darkness
I have been a film set dresser and used to design backgrounds for artists for comic books ( yeah, I chose Batman’s furniture in a comic once).
I like to think I am imaginative and can write encounters and details in list form. (3) How does your blog stand out from all the rest? I hope to start presenting some of my older creations from the '80s as my new house means I can access my stuff better. I have been getting into 1/72 scale minis, and game theory and issues a bit. I do some maps and graphics occasionally too. Xor and Planet Psychon are two of my bigger projects which seem to have fans. I mostly run my Exile Island setting but create lots of genre pieces and micro settings based on tables, like my Australian army vs Gygax dungeons, Hell, my Dungeon Zones, Cthulhu Metropolis, historical settings, my Roadwar BRP game, and my SF setting which spans 30 thousand years and the same players can live through it all. When I get more hits and comments I tend to get encouraged to do more. I try to post daily depending on work and other commitment. Mostly I do d100 tables to make gaming in my sandbox run smoother when players run off the rails. I’m not into new systems for the sake of it. Mostly old school versions of Dungeons & Dragons ( zero editions as I call them now), Basic Roleplaying ( BRP), and TSR's Marvel Super Heroes. (2) What do you blog about, and how frequently do you post? My other major field of online content is my art which overlaps graffiti, DIY publishing and photography. I get more hits from this than anything else I ever did and enjoy the practice of writing and brainstorming. I have had other blogs, Flickr used to be conversational, and Myspace died. I started when bedridden, and I got back into gaming. (1) How long have been blogging, and how’d you get into it in the first place? It may be well over a year since my last Six Of The Best interview feature, but I've just caught up with Australian artist Chris Tamm of Elfmaids & Octopi, the long-running gaming blog, to discuss his take on blogging.
