Some quick commentary.

I'm way, way behind on my proposed re-read of the 1980's DC comic series SUICIDE SQUAD due to a number of factors. I would like to promote a few things, in which some are those I'm involved in.

The first of a series of articles I have planned for the KNIGHTS OF THE DINNER TABLE magazine publication appeared in issue #217 a few months back. This is the cover





and it can be found here. It's available in print and in pdf form.

In March, I once again attended GaryCon, the one and only game convention to honor Gary Gygax and his favorite pastime, table top gaming. I ran a number of games and had some prize support from a few good organizations for the players. Mythoard is an excellent monthly subscription service in the vein of Loot Crate, focused specifically on print role-playing games. There is some great product being put out these days and Mythoard definitely gets you in on that. Their support was exceptional and I cannot recommend them enough.

Rare Elements Foundry likewise gave me a large amount of their beautiful coin product to hand out to players, which I was more than happy to do. They are actual, minted coinage with gorgeous designs to suit whatever you want to use them for. Coming in May, Rare Elements will be offering a Kickstarter campaign to fund a printed adventure project, for your RPG setting. Find out more at the website!

Both Mythoard and Rare Elements have social media pages, which you smart folk can locate on your own. I don't twitter or use many of the others, so you're on your own.

Finally, I jumped on board of From the Hip, a podcast my friend Vinnie Agosta started, joining him with our mutual friend John Amenta. Some of you readers of A Leaf on the Wind will recognize Mr. Amenta as the impetus behind the world reknowned SPEED 2 Month, which is not all that far away. Give a listen to my first ever podcast here. When you're done, please listen to the previous episodes with Vinnie and John, they're damned good and you don't have me chuckling in judgement in the background.

More podcasts are planned and I'll post them here as they are released.

A Leaf on the Wind should resume regularly soon, so get excited!
