Hey y’all! I’m excited to announce I’ll be officially joining GR Crime Tours, providing storytelling, ambiance, and more Grand Rapids history than you can shake a corpse at, beginning this summer. I’ll post dates for my tours once we’ve got it sorted out. Until then, check our GR Crime Tours for more information: https://grcrimetours.com/

We got the call today that there was room in the schedule for my wife and I to get our first doses of the Pfizer vaccine. We said ‘heck yeah’, of course, and ran down to the amazingly-well-organized DeVos Center. In and out in 30 minutes. Amazingly efficient. Amazingly easy. Both the Powell kids have…
It’s a weird Mardi Gras this year. Partially because we’re a year into our quarantine.

I know there are very few people who are both fans of the wacky stuff AJ does and fans of INDYCAR, but if you care at all about INDYCAR, you’re probably as excited and boggled as I am to see Marco Andretti come out on top in Indy 500 qualifications this weekend. Congrats on the…
We spend the last two weeks conducting the weirdest playtests of my gaming career, trying to work through the mechanics and details on a couple of new games. Do you know what’s really weird? Watching a video of people playing your game (when you can’t be there or help). You know what’s weirder? That people…
If you’ve been waiting for things to settle down in the world (so I could re-stock copies of WE’RE PROBABLY ALL GONNA DIE), you’re in luck. The publisher has ramped up limited, safe production, and there’s a fresh order of 100 copies headed my way in the next week. I’m officially taking the game off…
