Earlier I talked about getting a uniform ready for the conventions that I was going to attend. These uniforms would consist of a black t-shirt, combat pants and boots, along with any other 'hunting accessories' that one could assemble, like guns, stakes and the sort. Of course, these would all be in compliance with the rules and regulations of whatever conventions the Alpha Crew would attend, as well as maintaining any common sense and complying with the law. Recently, I had a discussion with T.C. Lemieux about how we could identify each other at the conventions. I had thought about this, but couldn't come to any real idea. Perhaps a name tag? Or our names on individual t-shirts? Good ideas, but it didn't quite have that 'feel'. That's when T.C. suggested dog tags! After searching the web, I found a great website that can make these items! And they work so well with the concept of the uniform for The Hunt! Not only were they affordable, but they came to me in the timeline promised, and were perfect for what I needed! The people at MYDOGTAG.COM have been wonderful enough to allow me to put their ...

After almost four months of planning, plotting, writing and description and after four months of frustration, tears and ripping out the hair, the game has finally transcended from the hands of my Alpha Testers (aka the Spartan Zombie Slayers) into the hands of the Beta Testers. And, as it stands, I have potentially three (but more than likely two) groups who are able to do this for me! I'm a little excited! After working with Evan Beardthulhu on the first edition for rules and mechanics, I'm more than confident that we hammered out the rough edges to the best of our abilities. Now it's on to the Die Doktor for spelling and grammar (and hopefully his insight into things). Once these two / three groups are finished, I'll take their suggestions and either make the necessary changes, or ... not! Depends on what they are, of course. I do have competent gamer-people to fill these positions, so I think I'll get some good, constructive criticism back from them. In the meantime, it's time to work on the costume and furthering any idea of advertising and marketing campaign I might want to go through with. I have a ...

I attended a very successful ComicCon Ottawa this past Saturday. It was good to see so many people turning out to this event! I also had a chance to check out some great vendors and exhibits, including Gloomies creator, Suzanne Miller, as well as Heroes of the North! Of course, there was local talent from the wonderful ladies of Steampixie! And while I was watching the goings-on of the event, with people cosplaying as their favourite characters, and vendors dressing up to get into the mood, it dawned on me to do something similar to the events that I go to! Create a 'uniform' for the game! This way people can associate 'The Hunt' with what it is that I'm wearing and ask questions if I'm not at the booth or table! On top of this, if anyone that I get to help me comes along, they, too, can dress up in this 'uniform'! I think that's a fantastic idea! I just have to figure out what it is, exactly, that I'm going to wear! Time to get into the right mind frame for this!
