The very first public peek at In Character is now online! Check out the video below and then let us know what you think - either on YouTube or right here!

I'm sure you think there's nothing happening here at ATG HQ, but the truth is, progress is progressing. We have produced a first cut of a teaser, and when that's ready I'm thinking we'll put it up on the great and powerful YouTube.

A teaser, you ask? It's not a trailer. It's just a 30 second quickie of the "bet that'll pique your interest" variety.

We hope to have it in publically-consumable shape very soon.

Technical difficulties had put our efforts to edit In Character on pause. But now, following a typical computer-based miracle healing, we should be able to proceed to the editing stage! I'm so excited to finally get all of that footage onto the hard drive so I can see it! Edit it! Bring it life!

Interested in indie film? There's a new group forming in town, the NMIFA or New Mexico Independent Filmmakers Alliance. The purpose of this group is to create a network of indie filmmakers, a talent pool that covers the entire spectrum required to make a film, and to put people and projects together for the benefit of all.

The NMIFA is being put together by the talented Mr. Stephen Hall, who did all the lighting design for In Character. He's passionate about indie films and dedicated to quality. We were fantastically lucky to have him work with us, and expect that any group he puts together is going to work.

It doesn't get any more ground floor than this. Click the red Meetup link on the right side of the page to get in on it.

We have now completed principle photography on In Character. Monday morning, while most of America got some sleep in order to enjoy their Memorial Day Holiday, the Angry Tiki set was on location getting the last few scenes shot.

There are so many people to thank, so many lessons learned, so many stories to tell.

But not now.

I just can't do it now.

But I wanted to let everyone involved know that we have finished shooting - and kudos to all for a job well done!

The thing that had me so excited I could hardly contain myself (but I'm glad I did, 'cause everything's official now) can now be announced!

After a remarkably short and extremely friendly period of hammering out an agreement, Steve Jackson Games has given us permission to use SJ Games stuff in our movie! That means when the guys are playing, they'll be able to use real GURPS stuff instead of mocked-up fake books! They'll be wearing SJ Games t-shirts (including my treasured In Nomine shirt)! They'll have Munchkin!

SJ Games has been extremely humane to deal with. They are totally cool. And the coolest thing ever is that I described to them a t-shirt I wanted in the movie, to see if we could make it within the bounds of our agreement, and they may actually make that shirt. Which would be freaking awesome.

If you're reading this, there's a good chance you like roleplaying games. If you do, and you haven't tried GURPS, I suggest you try it. It's been my number one system since high school. I play other games, but I keep going back to GURPS.

We're in process on something right now that's so exciting for me that I can barely keep myself from writing about it. But to write about it now would probably blow everything. So must...contain...enthusiasm...

Phew. Let's just say I made my roll and leave it there.

When there's more to say, I promise, I will!
