Kingbeast's Lair

During the early 90′s I published a newsletter that I emailed out to anyone who would listen. At the time my audience was comprised primarily of gaming buddies and folks on the Checkered Demon BBS. Each issue is like a collection of mini blog posts.

Topics vary from issue to issue but focus on Hero Games product reviews/rules, video game reviews, comic book reviews, and other miscellaneous news items that would be appropriate for my gaming group. Looking back I think doing the small reviews in these issues whet my appetite for the type of more in depth reviews that I am performing now on this very blog.

You can find copies of the currently posted issues at this URL: http://usandacat.com/thelair/file-downloads/other-files/

Issues 32 to 40 include the following highlights:

• John Turner tells the story of his mysterious superhero character Sparkle.
• Comments on the top 10 computer games in 1992 from Computer Gaming World, Software Publishers Association, and Entertainment Advertisement.
• An article on Call Of Cthulhu’s influence on role-playing games.
• Reviews of Swords Of Shar Pei and Shade:The Changing Man comics by The Kid
• Reviews of Strike Force and Western Hero.
• More funny gaming quotes!

More issues are coming soon! Watch this blog for details!

Last week I made a couple of updates to the right pane on Kingbeast’s Lair that I wanted to mention in this blog.

Added Link To Backed Kickstarters

I added a link to projects on Kickstarter that I have backed. I highly recommend checking these out…there are some COOL RPG projects being created by some very cool folks! Head over to John’s Kickstarters to take a look.

Added Badges

Pelgrane Press is handing out “software badges” when you preorder some of their games. I have badges from 13th Age and Night’s Black Agents on the site. Pelgrane puts out stellar products and these two are by industry vets! Give them a look.

GAME ON!

I updated the Gaming Resume page on the site. The changes involved updating the content for my last 10 years of gaming, fixing several typos, and updating links to several of the products I authored/edited.

Check it out!

I think I may now have everything squared away on my new web host. During the process of moving everything to InMotion Hosting I needed help. Technical support was fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Finally I have a web host that has better tech support. Excellent. (If you are looking for a new host please consider using the link above. That way I can get a kick back…I am an official InMotion Affiliate. )

Now that Kingbeast’s Lair is back expect some spiffy new content. I think the next entry will be the review of what could possibly be the best graphic novel that I have ever read! How is that for a teaser!?!

GAME ON!

Some of you know that I have been having terrible issues with my current web hosting company. I finally decided to bite the bullet and do something about it. I am switching web hosting companies. As part of the process I will be moving over my entire web site and email. During this process the blog, site, and email related to usandacat.com might be sporadic…especially since I have never tried moving my site when it was this complicated. Please bear with the mess during the move.
