You get what you pay for…
Well, the launch for the Dream Factory website was marred by an almost immediate web server crash – turns out when you use free hosting, you get every penny’s worth you pay for. On a completely unrelated note, I guess I won’t be advising people to use BinHoster’s free hosting services in my capacity as computer consultant (my day job.)
After much panic, stress, and furious action, the site hosting has been moved to GoDaddy, where it should have been all along – why the heck was I trying to save paying $40/year? Must be the unholy alliance of my heritage on both sides of my extended family. (that’s right, I blame all of you, relatives and in-laws! I keed!)
But we are back up now, so for those of you who wanted to check it out but were stymied by it not being there, I give you, the Dream Factory website!
Off to Carnage!!
Two days and my newly published RPG hits CarnageCon in Fairlee Vermont! I am running two games there – and since it will also be my first Con things are a whirlwind of prep and work – trying to get this website in a first approximation of it’s eventual form, prepping to run a complete and self-contained RPG system in less than four hours (a monumental task it seems), getting everything ready for the trip (including my UV flashlight for the B&B, grin) – two years of design and development and two months of crazed intense and focused work come down to this.
I will be travelling with 30-40 softcovers of Dream Factory, if anyone wants any, I got ’em. 😉
And of course, this convention is merely the kick-off. After I get back I need to research how these games get marketed, reviewed, and enter the public awareness. Hopefully I can attend the next JiffyCon with DF as well. I also need to begin work on the Mis/Fortune Deck for those who like their Critical (and unexpected) Successes and Failures. And I just got this crazy idea that maybe somehow I can setup some kind of DF server where people can store their DF Character Sheets and Game Plans, and even roll virtual dice, so that even if a group of gamers are hanging out in a hotel lobby, they can play with no need for paper, dice, or writing implements – all via a web browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop.
First things first – I have a convention to prep for, and I couldn’t be more excited! See you all there!
