Remember when I mentioned the Atari Party when I profiled the Digital Game Museum? Well I got a chance to meet the gentleman behind the event, Bill Kendrick (ironically, when I had to make a correction). Of course I seized on the opportunity to interview him because this is a living history event – the kind of thing we geeks should do more. That’s a hint, but let’s talk to Bill to motivate you more.
Steve’s Update 7/15/2014
Hey gang, what’s up?
Well first, as you saw the Writing Prompt Generator at Seventh Sanctum is in a crude Alpha, and I am taking feedback. I’m improving it slowly but surely, though it’s going to take time.
At Muse Hack you can expect to see a spate of interviews and a new, more series-oriented take from me as I try tackling various issues with a less regular format and more a focus on addressing certain issues or following certain focuses. Just stay tuned for now 😉
Otherwise, actually not much going on. Work has me busy.
What about you?

Did D and D Inspire A Generation of Writers
My answer? Yes it did, but in two ways.
First, D&D was definitely an influence on creative people and writers. That’s a given.
However, D&D also inspired other RPGs, which then inspired writing further. D&D also inspired other inspirers as it were.
Frankly, I want to see more on this. I think there’s a huge amount of things to explore in looking how the RPG and RPG like gaming scenes inspired fiction.
