Ken’s Gaming Career – Exhibit 1

I’m speaking at a panel for a Visionary Event in NYC moderated by Steven Johnson, author of ‘Everything Bad is Good for You’. They requested that we provide some artifacts of our careers, accompanied by interpretive text for display cards, just like you’d see in a museum. So here is a link to page 1 [of 5] of the items and interpretive texts that will appear.

Reckoning news – Sleepless in Cologne

Had to interrupt my Village Harmony camp in Ashfield MA to promote my new game, RECKONING, at GamesCom, in Cologne, Germany. RECKONING releases in the US Feb 7 2011 [in Europe, Feb 10].

Having recently been in Mongolia and China, and interrupting my Massachusetts singing camp for travel to Germany, my jetlag is of epic proportions. Whenever I see food, I think breakfast/lunch/dinner indiscriminately, and when I see a flat surface, I think it is bedtime.

Here are some links to coverage from GamesCom.

Busy, busy, busy.

And I’m off to Scotland for three weeks in September. Wonderful, and exhausting.

Everything Will Be All right

“Everything Will Be All Right”

Village Harmony 2011, Ashfield Camp, August 20, 2011.

I am not singing in this song, because I had to miss five days from this eight day camp because I was on a work assignment in Germany. But this is a fine example of kind of swell gospel songs Kathy Bullock shares with us.

This is the raw video of the next-to-last number of the second set of our Village Harmony concert, without audio volume adjustment, so Kathy’s Bullock’s introduction is pretty much inaudible. But the singing is Just Fine.

Motor-Trekking in Mongolia

Roads? Who needs roads?

Flying high above Mongolia landscapes, you see wandering, braided tracks that look like animal trails. These are the roads. They are not improved. Not even a little bit. When the spirit moves a driver, he takes off on his own, adding a new, hopefully less-brutal route among boulders, bogs, and glacial pothole fields. Usually the new path is only a false hope, shattered immediately by the unvarnished truth of a rugged glacier-scraped, rock-strewn, hard-packed landscape.

This would be fun for a minute or so. For three hours, or even eight, they are just a bone-jarring, butt-battering trial. There’s plenty of wonderful scenery to compensate, riding in the Russian-made vans is not a cushy tourist experience. [My wife, who didn’t accompany me on the tour, but who saw the video, was captivated by the quaint, improvised purple curtains. This struck me as a quaint, charming, cheerful, and grotesque observation. Perhaps being dragged behind a pickup truck would be much nicer if there were purple curtains on the pickup truck.]
