Theoretically
As I started to write this forth-third entry in The Ides of Mark (which falls on the ides of March this time), I was reviewing the previous entry,
Book'em, Marco
, and realized that I had typed the wrong title for the book that had just been released. The new book last time was
RPG-ology Volume I: The First Five Years
; I got the title confused with its sister series.
The big news as March begins is that RPG Theory 101 and Other Essays in Role Playing Games has hit the retail e-shelves. This collection of fourteen essays previously scattered around the web includes the three-part series Theory 101 and a few other pieces on game theory and design, the three-part Law and Enforcement in Imaginary Realms and another piece on incorporating legal systems in fiction and games, a couple pieces on horror, and a couple pieces on the relationship of Christianity to fiction and games.
A few other things went public, beginning with mark Joseph "young" web log post #466: The Song "In a Mirror Dimly" . I continued publishing the stories of James Beam, Lauren Hastings, and Tomiko Takano in Con Verse Lea chapters 52 through 56 and a behind-the-writings look at 35 through 51 in web log entry 468: Characters Wander .
Also released, the Chaplain's Bible Study continued with Mark 3:30 through the chapter summary and on through 4:5, and Musings: Coke about being saved from things we never knew threatened us, and Musings: Opposition , about those against us being insignificant.
The Christian Gamers Guild also published Faith in Play #64: A Kingdom Allegory , a potential adventure setting. I've been working on the two series there and have articles set up through September. Work also continues on the Romans analytical commentary, and with Eric Ashley on A Dozen Verses.
I did apply to be staff at AnimeNEXT and have not heard back; I'm not sure whether I will be well enough to do it, though.
I will again mention that you can keep up to date through my social media sites and particularly Patreon, and you can support me there and through PayPal.me.

The Ides of Mark
Goodreads was nagging me, as a Goodreads author, to start another web log--I say another, because I already have the mark Joseph "young" web log http://www.mjyoung.net/weblog/ where I dabble eclectica
Goodreads was nagging me, as a Goodreads author, to start another web log--I say another, because I already have the mark Joseph "young" web log http://www.mjyoung.net/weblog/ where I dabble eclectically, and a Patreon blog https://www.patreon.com/MJYoung where I keep a running report of everything I publish and what progress I'm making on writing. But I thought of the blog title, and decided that twice a month I could catch up this blog on what I've been writing.
Anyway, we'll see how it goes. ...more
