My Desk Threw Up

Putting the finishing touches on TYPE Casting # 4 Street Tough has been no easy feat.  It doesn't help when lurking just off camera is one of my Little Mayehms.  Gray, about 1 foot 2 inches tall... 6 pounds... ALL TERROR ALL THE TIME.  

For those just tuning in, Hi... My name is Walt and I am the main (sometimes only) force behind HAZARD Studio.  Now that I think of it, I wouldn't really call it a force... Much more like a light breeze.  I got into Hobby Publishing of RPG games and third party illustration of the same because I wanted to remain in the publishing industry (i had a bit part in a much larger industry at one point... want to know more... introduce yourself and we'll talk).  I didn't want to devote too much time to it as I have a career already as well as a jumble of interests that get in the way of stuff like the hours upon hours needed for a publishing studio. 

Enter HAZARD...  So getting back to the beginning of this post, We have been producing a some material for a game called Basic Action Super Heroes (Yep... acronym spells BASH!).  Our next product is set to hit once I get the cover all nice nice.  

So for our fans... Thank you for tuning in.  For those just stopping by, nice to meet you and thank you for tuning in.

Oh and we take requests, 

Regards, 

Walt 

No No! Not that kind of tablet.

It seems like yesterday when tablet was just that rock you hit with a chisel and wrote out some scrawl.  Followed almost immediately by that yellow lined paper pad with no cover that you write all your crazy notes on (and a few scribbles as well). 

Enter the digital tablets (I wont actually say Idevice because they sue happy).  These things are the greatest.  You can watch movies, read books (technically we could all do this stuff before but usually not in one device other than a computer), and follow your favorite adult film star... wait what?  Not to mention that it is wrapped up in an easy to carry package. I read a lot of my game books for HAZARD Studio on mine because I can carry an ENTIRE library on the thing and never break a sweat carrying it

Something neat that happened not to long ago is that companies like Basic Action Games decided to come out with a tablet friendly version of their rules to compliment the processing power of these devices.  Even six months after release tablets are considerably more powerful but it only stands to reason that a smaller file on the smaller screen with a duo core processor is going to do well.  Files like this eliminate the whole waiting for a graphics heavy page to load thing.  Fantastic.

Just want to give a shout out to Chris over at Basic Action Games for putting out a book that I use a lot in this format making it easy to read not only on tablets but on the smart phone as well.  Because while i can be sure that I will leave the tablet at home, the phone is usually with me.  We need more publishers to bundle two files with their products.  One file is the pretty high res, read this thing on a computer only for fear of blowing your phone's processor, file.  The other should be the tablet ready one.  Low res, quick to load and read.  What say you publishers... good idea or no?

Regards, 

Walt
