Talking about the Yog-Sothoth web site.
This is a follow-up entry to "More Adventures in 3 Dimensions". In that previous post I talked about how I first became interested in 3D pictures due to being allowed to play with my Dad's old View-Master at an influential age. Now I'm returning to that subject because of something rather neat I discovered recently. While producing the YSDC 15th Anniversary USB Data Stick I decided to include a set of anaglyph "MythoVision" glasses and provide some additional content on the stick/card ...
I’m still plodding along with the Wiki, now trying to add missing scenarios. There's a heck of a lot of them out there... Unfortunately, one of the problems with writing articles is that you really need the thing you're writing about; and getting hold of scenarios is a tricky business. Some I do own, particularly where there's a PDF I could grab, and I've ended up buying one or two PDFs just because they caught my interest while I was researching for the wiki.

And I've also lined up various new publications to read on my iPad, including - at long long last yahoo! - ...
Categorising has slowed up as things get more complicated. There's a (very slow) debate going on as to the best way to describe different types of scenarios in terms of how they relate to ongoing play, and which distinctions we want to make. Until that's settled - and some other issues have been thrown up in the process - I don't see much point pushing on with that. Instead, I've gone back to filling in missing categories, starting with avatars. Observations so far: ...
Despite being pretty busy at the moment, I've managed to find time for some more editing. A few people have given constructive advice, encouragement and disagreement in the forums, which is always good - one of the problems with wiki maintenance (in general) is you don't tend to know if you're actually achieving anything useful, and it can get very discouraging. So evidence that people actually care about what you're doing is always nice! I finally finished my first parse over the ...
