Is it over already? Many things have happened in the last month of the year, and especially in the last week!! To start things off, I have removed the Cartoon and Graphic Design pages from this site. I really wasn't keeping them up to date, and they will fit in much better on my new site, Design by Zorcon! This new site will be a combination of on-line portfolio and a graphic design resource. I wont bore you with the other events in my life, but they have had an adverse impact on my family's health, time, and finances. All I can do is saddle up and carry on! | |

| HELLO!! | January 30, 2006 | |
|
|
Happy New Year!!! Welcome back to Games of Zorcon Episode III: The Return of the Procrastinator!! The last year has definitely NOT been lacking in events, but I'll have to say that there were still a few opportunities to continue working on this site. With all of that behind me, I look forward to the new year: my 10th wedding anniversary (18 years together), my son's 3rd birthday, this site's 3rd year, and my game store's 2nd year! Whew! That being said onto the good stuff... | |
|
The Bikini Karate Babes page in the Gameography section has been re-launched with all new material!! With the release of the next edition of BKB on the horizon, I have created many new desktop wallpapers in honor of this important event! | |
|
I have all new complete and almost complete galleries for HeroClix, specifically for use with Battleplanner software on my HeroClix Gameography page. I have removed the bases in the images so the figures can be larger, and so the same image can better represent the various REV/Unique versions. | |
|
I also have complete galleries for D&D Miniatures specifically for use with Battleplanner software, on my D&D Gameography page. I have left the bases on these images, but I have sized the figures "roughly" to scale. | |
|
New at my eBay Storefront are HeroClix Grab Bags and D&D Miniatures Reserve Packs! Both of these lots are an excellent value for any collector or player. The HC Grab Bags sell for $13.99 for 30 figures!! There is guaranteed to be 1 unique or LE in every lot, at least 1 transporter/giant, and never a repeat! The D&DM Reserve packs contain are an excellent choice to bolster your favorite faction. You will find between 10-15 common and uncommon figures. Another great benefit is gained when you buy 1 reserve pack for each of the 4 factions from the same set - you will get a complete set of uncommons and 2 complete sets of commons!! As always Games of Zorcon Storefront sells many great gamming accessories, so check it out! | |

|
2 Burritos and a Mountain Dew! | I am spending my fifth day* within the last year, with a beeper clipped to my shirt, sitting in a hospital cafeteria, waiting for a surgeon to tell me my wife has been moved into the recovery room. We had high hopes that 2005 would be a new beginning, after a troubling year with cancer. Unfortunately, the first quarter has turned out not to be. We have already been scared with a possible reoccurrence (benign), and as I write this, our hopes for a second child are being "snipped" away. Fortunately, we HAVE been blessed with family and friends, and I thank them all for their support! (* surgical biopsy, lumpectomy, surgical biopsy, surgical biopsy, and a tubal ligation) | |
