What does Grim do for fun, you ask?

Oddly enough, not much playing.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still play a bit, but currently, I’m working on integrating this site with Facebook, particularly our new application and fan page.  Now that might sound perilously close to working on D*C, but I’m looking at this from a “hey, this is a technical challenge” standpoint and indulging my inner hacker by trying to figure out how all this stuff works.  It’s very much a work-in-progress, but it’s been quite fun so far.

Of course, my wife has a long list of suggestions for things to do besides stuff, and I’ve been working on those too.  Expect things to be kinda quiet around here for a week or so, but we’ll be back next week for the home stretch.  If you really need to reach me, that’s what we have the contact form for, or you could even try or Twitter.  Less than 3 months to go until Dragon*Con!

Rather than a Facebook page, a LiveJournal page, a Twitter feed, a MySpace page, and a hundred other sources of , we created this site as the official source of all and of interest to the community.

Who are we?

* has a dozen staff members who work year-round to prepare for each year’s . In addition to maintaining this website, we have to research new games (yes, playing games is part of the job), talk to community relations staff, come up with contests and prizes, and most of all work the convention itself and make sure our guests and fans get where they are supposed to go. It’s fun work, but it never ever ends.

A partial list of the games that we cover includes:

• Age of Conan
• Anarchy Online
• AQ Worlds
• Champions Online
• City of Heroes
• DC Universe Online
• EVE Online
• Everquest
• Everquest 2
• Force of Arms
• Free Realms
• Gaia Online
• Guild Wars
• Kingdom of Loathing
• Lord of the Rings Online
• Pirates of the Burning Sea
• Second Life
• Star Trek Online
• Star Wars Galaxies
• Stargate Worlds
• Tabula Rasa
• Vanguard
• Warhammer Online
and, of course…
• World of Warcraft
