Rule 0 is now #1 on a Google search for Rule 0. I’m so proud… hey, I gotta start somewhere.

I’m in the process of looking for a new apartment and also taking a family vacation this week. Therefore: Tuesday’s article is likely to be brief and RZ will be dark Thursday and next Sunday.

The good news is that I’ll have my laptop with me over vacation and few responsibilities, so hopefully I’ll return with a few good articles. In the meantime, here are some links to tide you over.

Journal of Boardgame Design: Good articles, and I hope to see more in the future.

Gone Gaming:Lots of great stuff by several authors. If it were just one it would put me to shame. As it is, it seems to be a steady parade of good work.

OK, so “rest” is my excuse for “laziness.”

A couple of overdue links:

David Sirlin keeps a really neat blog about video game design. The articles, in particular, are well worth reading.

The folks at the Ziggurat of Doom have many fascinating things to say, and sometimes even games. They were kind enough to link here, so the least I can do is return the favor.

With a full month of posts behind me, I feel comfortable laying out the schedule I intend to keep. This is: Full-length articles every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, with shorter articles on the days between when I have the inspiration.
