I think I&#8217;m actually more excited than if I&#8217;d gotten first place because this means I get a 10-page critique from Ricki. Feedback is writer&#8217;s gold, people. When you get a chance to have someone tell you what works and what doesn&#8217;t in something you&#8217;ve written, you grab it!<\/p>\n<p>Over at RPGGeek.com, they&#8217;re getting closer to announcing the winners of the 2010 Golden Geek Awards. Yesterday they posted <a title=\"2010 Golden Geek Award RPG finalists\" href=\"http:\/\/rpggeek.com\/thread\/580244\/2010-rpg-golden-geek-awards-finalists\" target=\"_blank\">the top three finalists in each category<\/a> &#8212; and <em>Cthulhu Invictus<\/em> made it to the short list for Best RPG Supplement! We&#8217;ll find out on November 17th if we won, although making it to the top three has us grinning pretty big already.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"MACE gaming convention website\" href=\"http:\/\/justusproductions.com\/mace.php\" target=\"_blank\">MACE<\/a> is coming up, November 12-14. Once again, Chad and I will be there as gaming professionals. Chad&#8217;s running three games, and space permitting I&#8217;ll be sitting in on two of them. In fairness, I can&#8217;t play in the Victoriana game since I&#8217;m writing the scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Chad&#8217;s Game Schedule:<\/p>\n<p>Friday, 8 PM, Call of Cthulhu, &#8220;A Cold Shadow Shall Swallow Man&#8221;<br \/>\nSaturday, 1:30 PM, Call of Cthulhu, &#8220;00447&#8221;<br \/>\nSunday, 9 AM, Victoriana, &#8220;Into the Unknown&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We won&#8217;t have a table this year, but we will bring copies of <em>Cthulhu Invictus<\/em> and maybe a few other things to sell. And, of course, we&#8217;re happy to sign things. Or just chat. So feel free to stop and say hi if you see us, and join us for a game or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I&#8217;m still deciding which of the 588 pictures I took during our train ride this weekend I want to blog about, I thought I&#8217;d take a moment to share some news. <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/?p=82\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[115,3,7],"tags":[121,118,355,120,117,116,119,100],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4udeu-1k","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=82"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andinewton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
