Calendar Clearance Sale!
After BoardGameGeek.Con I ended up with extra gaming calendars. I have 26 21 19 15 11 in total. I need to get rid of them cause if not I’m in the hole several hundred dollars. So I’m going to offer them to anyone who wants them for only $15! That’s less than what they cost to make and you’ll never ever be able to get one for cheaper. So if you are looking for a gamer related holiday gift it’s a great option.
If you are interested in buying one or more, email me ASAP scottking (at) scottking (dot) info

Genie vs. Djinn is out!
Genie vs. Djinn the third book in my Zimmah Chronicles series is out! For the time being this is the final book in the series so now is the perfect time to jump in and read the books!
Here is a quick description:
The chaotic magic of hundreds of djinn are destroying San Francisco. Dinosaurs. Butterfly volcanos. Buildings made of Jello– If someone can wish it, it’s happening. Unable to access his own powers, Zimmah, must rely on Karim and Whitney’s help. Standing in their way is Alkema, Zimmah’s murderous father, an almost omnipotent djinn who enjoys watching the suffering of others. If not stopped he will not only destroy the city, but plunge the entire world into total madness.
You can pick up the book on Amazon and it will also be out soon on iTunes, Kobo, and Nook.

Bear Mountain!
This is Bear Mountain in New York. We visited it during our trip in 2012 and this is another one of those old photos I finally decided to process. Lisa used to live about twenty minutes away from the mountain and visited it a bunch so it was important to her to show it to me.
What I thought was really cool (other than it being gorgeous) was that I’ve seen it in multiple episodes of The Good Wife and if you follow me on twitter then you should know that I LOVE The Good Wife. One of the best written shows on TV. So good and I got to see where they shot several episodes!

Mohonk Preserve!
Three years ago was the last time Lisa and I got to see fall foliage. We took a trip to see the Poconos and Catskills in Pennsylvania and New York. It was an epic trip. Since we will be doing a similar trip soon to visit Central Texas I’ve been dumpster diving into my old photos to see what worked, what didn’t, and if there were any I had never processed.
The photo above (click it to enlarge) is one of the old photos I found. I took it while we were at the Minnewaska State Park. We were on a cliff hundreds of feet high and the valley and below was part of the Mohonk Preserve. It was a really gorgeous place to visit!

Finding An Audience!
Last night I got an interesting message:
That’s so random and yet so cool. First, I didn’t even know that binderies were a real thing. I thought at this stage most of that stuff is automated so its cool to hear about a job that I never knew existed. Then to find out that that someone working in a bindery likes games and saw my calendar is super neat. It just goes to show that when you are creating and putting out material there is no telling how people may find it.
