Happy Birthday, Neil!

What is better than a spouse who, if not sharing your hobby, at least appreciates how much you enjoy it?  ASLer Neil Brunger got a pleasant surprise recently when his wife presented him with a surprise birthday cake–an ASL-themed surprise birthday cake, that is!  Isn’t it great? Happy birthday to Neil, and a hearty congratulations […]

Winter Offensive 2013 AAR

There’s no time like the present, which means that the current time–more than a month after Winter Offensive 2013 has ended, is not exactly the time to write an AAR.  But between then and now real life intruded in various ways and I did not have an opportunity.  That’s a shame, as my memory of […]

Museum Fest January 2013 Pictures

Museum Fest is an outgrowth of Office Fest, which was a thrice-yearly two day ASL gathering in Detroit, Michigan, hosted by P. J. Norton.  Now it is hosted at a small military museum in Eastpointe, Michigan (still Detroit, basically).  There are now non-ASLers playing games, too, but I did not take any pictures of that. […]

Winter Offensive 2013 Pictures (Part III)

See Part I for the usual explanations and disclaimers. Nice map holder! Mumble mumble playing Wayne Hadady Camera shy.  Can’t tell who either one is.  Maybe Jeff Evich on the right. Jim Mehl on the left.  Not 100% sure who is on the right. I don’t know these gentlemen. I don’t know these people, either, […]

Winter Offensive 2013 Pictures (Part II)

See Part I for the usual explanations and disclaimers. The new stuff available at Winter Offensive.  You probably have all this by now.  For those who have never tried a Friendly Fire pack, Best of Friends is something you should definitely get. Some big East Front action.  I hope they realized that this scenario is […]

Winter Offensive 2013 Pictures (Part I)

I’ve included some photographs from the 2013 Winter Offensive ASL tournament, held each January in beautiful (ahem) Bowie, Maryland.  The Winter Offensive tournament is the only ASL tournament actually hosted by MMP, the producers of ASL.  It is the 2nd largest ASL tournament in the U.S. and thus the world.  In recent years, alas, MMP […]

World of ASL Compendium Update

I’ve been getting a lot of people asking when the ASL World of Compendium is going to be updated.  Just to let you know, today I’ve begun the process of doing a major update, adding all the products released at/since ASLOK (i.e., October 2012).  There have been a lot of them.  This update will take […]
