Evil Plans

Some back-and-forth on Twitter this morning reminded me of something that's not directly related to D&D or dungeon maps, but still very important. Hugh Macleod (@gapingvoid) has some great valentines day prints for sale right now.

Gamers and game designers love to talk about ways to improve their game and share ideas about how to be more creative. I think it's just as important to have this conversation outside of gaming as inside it. I want to toss Hugh the biggest shout-out I can muster, because his work has directly inspired me in designing games and launching this blog.

Read Hugh's PDF How to be Creative. It's a much-needed kick in the ass to anyone who wants to... well, kick ass! It doesn't have anything overtly to do with gaming. Yet it's a great manifesto, whether you want to be a great game master, publish your own games, or make awesome art.
