[Off Topic] Baby! Again!

That right there is Will Robert Olson, born December 18th, 2012 -- two weeks earlier than expected. Surprise! He's currently at a top-rated children's hospital in San Diego and doing great. Welcome him to the world, everyone.

Off-Topic: I'm A Father!

I know it's been a while since I rapped atcha, but that's because we've been in the final weeks of pregnancy in the Olson household. As of yesterday at 5:12 pm, we're the proud parents of a 7-pound-2.6-ounce, 21-inch long, healthy, happy, and seriously laid-back baby boy named Benjamin Russell Olson. He's our first, and the first grandchild on either side of the family, so he's kind of a big deal.

For pictures of him, check out this quickie website I slapped together for the occasion. Check it out if you're so inclined! And you should be inclined -- how can you say no to this face?



(Regular blog posts will resume... uh... whenever he gives me a chance.)

Important But Non-Gaming-Related News

Sorta longish time, no post, but I've been pre-occupied with other stuff these days. For one, I've taken it on myself to review and rewrite (as needed) all the stunts in Starblazer for the forthcoming Legends of Anglerre (as it's now called -- it'll also be a standalone book instead of a supplement for Starblazer, which I think is a great idea). I've also been really taken lately with the idea of running, of all things, a Fantasy Hero game. I consider Hero to be pretty much the anti-FATE in a lot of ways, but before SotC came along it was my go-to system for years. And now I've got a hankering for it again, for some reason or other (just in time for the 6th edition to come out at Gen Con, too).

But! None of that is really news. What's news it that my wife and I are having a baby! We just passed the first trimester, and you know what they say: Wait until the second trimester to post about it on your blog.
