One of the big topics in the publishing world is the growing use of e-books and e-readers. I myself have purchased a Nook from Barnes & Noble, and have been very satisfied with the experience. It's like having a personal bookstore in my hands.

I'd like to know what e-reader, if any, that you are using. That will help me what direction to take when it comes to electronic versions of my books.

You know how the movie studios will often have a movie called by a "working title" while its under development? Well, that is what has inadvertently happened with Dream Palace. From now on, "Dream Palace" will now be titled "Silver Screen Dreams."

Originally, I had intended for the title to refer to the large movie palaces that used to dot the landscape. Peoria had quite a number of them. There are only two left now. I wanted to honor those old buildings downtown that used to bring me so much joy.

As I worked on the game, it came to me that very few people would get the reference since it is such an older term. In fact, it would be more likely to be mistaken for a fantasy game. So, out of sense of sheer marketing, I have renamed it. I am quite happy with the new name and the new logo. I hope it appeals to you as well.

ALL HAIL "SILVER SCREEN DREAMS!"

(The crowd goes wild!)

I am so ready for this film. The first one was everything a superhero movie should be, and it looks like the sequel will also bring total Awesome to the silver screen!

This came up unexpectedly today. I have been asked to be a guest designer in a chat discussion at RPGbomb.com! You can see how surprised I am. The discussion will take place on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 9 PM Eastern Time, 8 PM Central.

I plan on chatting about Dream Palace, of course, and my plans for it. This is a good time to talk about it since the Second Beta of Dream Palace is almost complete. I will be happy to feild any questions about SOL: The Omniversal Roleplaying System or The Outsider Chronicles.

I would certainly enjoy meeting those of you that visit the site and take in your thoughts.

I am very pleased to announce that the first Dream Palace Beta has been uploaded to the Dream Palace Yahoo Group for the perusal of those who are interested. I have also included a file for the forms and some of the cards that will be used in play.

Feedback on the group is strongly encouraged. If I have a dog of a game on my hands, I want to know it. The game is playable, but it is still extremely rough. I am still making changes to the rules in order to improve play.
