So Albia isn't going to blurt out all her secrets here where anybody could be listening, but she'll give Agatha some info soon! Don't worry, there will probably be something nice for the wiki soon! heh.
I won't be streaming this Wednesday, because it turns out I'll be getting my kid settled at school and won't have a lot of time until next week. Oh well. I'm a little farther along with fi...

Well, this doesn't happen very often, but I lost all the work I'd done. I closed the file and for whatever reason hadn't been hitting save. Honestly, It's like I was back in high school. So yes, even though I'd had nearly all year to write the story so far, I waited until the last minute...

Well, that's it for these guys for now! I hope people enjoyed following them around. We'll be back with a couple of pages of "Story so far" to catch people up, and then we'll be chugging along with the regular Girl Genius story. It's been a while! We didn't really plan for this one to go as long as it did, but we had fun. Don't worry about Blintzie, she seriously underestimated Mechanicsburg, b...

Well, I've been having a great time streaming the game, but I admit I'm starting to feel like I've said everything over and over again so much...I'm feeling a bit foolish with it. I'm still having fun playing the game though! I feel like the writing needs some tweaking, and there will certainly be an editing pass to catch as many of the typos as possible. The biggest problem I have is that I've...

Well, I finished the Twitch stream, and it was lots of fun! Thanks so much to everyone who showed up. Here's Wednesday's page, early for once.
Phil and the kids are done with Comic-Con, so now we're going back to the usual routine. I think I'll try to do another stream on Wednesday, I'll make sure my schedule on Twitch is updated. I'm really looking forward to being able to stream the who...

I'm getting ready to Twitch stream the game again, I've got less than an hour and a half to get ready. Here's the next page, and as you can see, they've made it safely home. At least, some are safe.
Phil has broken his foot. We're not sure how, but we do know he's been walking around on it for at least a week. I'll feel a lot better when he's home from Comic-Con and has seen his regular d...

Well, I was most of the way through tonight's Twitch stream when I realized this was going to be a bit late. Fortunately Cheyenne turned in the colors while I was streaming. Anyway, here it is!
I'll be streaming again through Sunday night. Seattle time: Friday 5:00PM, Saturday 6:00PM, Sunday 7:00PM. I'll attach the schedule.
Sorry it's so late, thank you!

In the same way that Doctor Who fans have their One True Doctor, and Trek fans have their Captain, I think a lot of us have our One True Holmes. For me it's always Jeremy Brett, no matter how wonderful other actors have been in the role. (And they certainly have been.) I've had the old Granada TV series running in the background while I pack, and today during The Adventure of the Empty Hous...

I spent some time this weekend figuring out how to stream to Twitch, so that when the Girl Genius game goes up, I can show off my filthy casual gaming skills to an unforgiving world. That should be fun.

Anyway, I'll let people kno...
