“I was taking the night train to Berlin…”
Thus begins the noir eve-of-WWI adventure Tomi and I are cooking up. Now, finally, I’m excited.
Ken expects me to come in as an author-for-hire, Prince 2 style, to build Broderbund an adventure game system. But I have a different idea.
An independent development group. Tomi and me and Robert, maybe Corey, maybe Glenn Axworthy, and a couple of artists, in an office in San Francisco. Two years, $500K, and we could develop an awesome adventure game for Broderbund to publish.
Best of all, we’d be building a company—an asset that, years down the line, could actually be sold for real money. Better than royalties.
Prince 2 is coming along nicely. No worries.






I cannot wait to read more, how the ideas developed, the process of making the game etc.
Thanks again for putting these diaries here!
