Favorite pastimes include role-playing games, computer games, reading, and writing.

Role-playing: My favorite role-playing game companies include Phage Press, Steve Jackson Games, and Wizards of the Coast. Role-playing systems I've played include Amber Diceless, d20 and its predecessors, and GURPS. GURPS projects include my Cool Regime Change alien-invasion campaign and the conversion from Amber Diceless that my late wife and I collaborated on.

Computer games: My current favorite computer game is Sid Meier's Civilization IV.

Books: I enjoy reading books, especially history, science fact, science fiction, and fantasy. A current favorite is Excession by Iain M. Banks. I've created a timeline for it.

Writing: Amateur writing in the past has included alternate history, future history, and fan fiction. I'm currently working on a story based on the Cool Regime Change.
