I don't know how many folk here on the Blue Sky are in King County, but today is Primary Election Day. You should have gotten a ballot in the mail, so it is not a horrible inconvenience. So go vote!

Hey folks, I'm seeing an upswing in people following me, and suspect it is in regards to the demise of Giant Bomb. I am not the Jeff Grubb that worked for Giant Bomb. I'm the author and game designer. I have a blog that I do reviews on. Like this one. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2025/05/play...

I went to a play last weekend. It was pleasant. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2025/05/play...

So it has been a while since I've blogged, so here's a summary of new game arrivals at Grubb Street. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2025/03/rece...

Hey folks - The Mighty Stan! has been running a podcast called Fifty Years in the Dungeons, where he interviews D&D professionals and does art. Steve Winter and I were guests on the first one, and now that he has completed all 50 years, we're back. Tune in tonight. www.youtube.com/live/Xvx2NIG...

A pair of play reviews from a five-day celebration of our anniversary. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2025/02/thea...

My regular gaming group and I have been trying out some different systems. Here's a review of Brindlewood Bay. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2025/02/game...

Wolf talks about crowd-sourcing. He's been at it for a while, now.

I play games. Sometimes I even write reviews about them. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/05/game...

So let me mention in passing that I'm contributing to a two-volume accessory for 5E involving time travel and dinosaurs. Two taste treats that go great together. www.kickstarter.com/projects/spl...

Have another play review - grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2025/01/thea...

5 tongue-in-cheek game writing exercises that are a more realistic representation of what most game writers do (in my experience) than a branching dialog tree:

So you would think that with season tickets to the Seattle Repertory and Arts West theatres I would have my fill of the stage. But no, I and friends went out to the Taproot in Greenwood for a Wodehouse-inspired bit of lunacy. Here's a review. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/12/thea...

I do play reviews, but I don't like to do harsh play reviews. I want to be able to point at a particular piece of theatre and say "There! That's good stuff". Not the case here, and I'm a little confounded as to why. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/12/thea...

I read books when I fly. Primarily mysteries, picked up at used bookstores. Here's a collection of them from my recent travels. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-...

In addition to talking about games, I also talk about theatre in my blogspace. Here's a recent note about the first of several holiday plays in the Seattle Metroplex. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/11/thea...

So occasionally I talk about my neighborhood. Here's what has been going most recently. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/11/bomb...

Welcome to the new hordes arriving on the shores of the Blue Sky. I use it primarily to send people to my own personal blog, though I'm still using the Book of Faces for short notes (even though it is awash with stolen Simpson video clips). Enjoy grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/11/rece...

Have a positive play review: grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/11/thea...

So, what are the most Iconic SF/Fantasy/Horror books of the last 25 years? Here's the page to make your vote heard.

Apparently I am on some sort of master list for game designers, and have seen a lot of new followers. For those doing so, relax. After this political season, I'll go back to games, theater, and book reviews. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-...

For the sudden hordes of folk who are suddenly following me (for gods know why), I run a passel of endorsements on my blog for each election. I'm not going to tag every entry, but here's where to find them. grubbstreet.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-...

And SUDDENLY I'm getting a huge horde of new follows. Did something happen to X?

Do you want to see cartoon remakes of classic D&D cover pictures?: www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic... Check out the crowdfunding program that @stannex.bsky.social is using to create a 2025 Fantasy Art Calendar. Would you like to see Stan! make other art? #DungeonsAndDragons #Stan
