Welcome to the PGS Blog

It hard for me believe that Pacesetter has been around for more than two years now. It seems like it was just yesterday that I decided to finally get off the sidelines and start publishing. It was my resolution on New Year’s Eve 2008 that I committed to publishing a module. I toyed around with idea for more than 20 years but it never seemed to be the right time or the technology just was not there (to make it cost effective). On January 1, 2009, I pulled out the manuscript of The Thing in the Valley and started working. In October of 2009, RC1 The Thing in the Valley finally came of the printing press and Pacesetter Games & Simulations was born.

In the two years that have followed I have published 12 additional modules. At times I can’t remember how on earth I went from one module to thirteen! But here I am and the gears keep turning. One of the major issues I have dealt with in that time is a good way to communicate what is going on here at Pacesetter G&S. Email is good and various forums have been more than helpful, not the least of which has been the Acaeum. But in this fast-moving electronic age I have decided that Pacesetter needs a blog.

Now here I am blogging. But not in the traditional sense of the word. I will not be ranting or reviewing whatever strikes my fancy. This blog will be my way to communicate all things Pacesetter. I am sure I may jump in and talk about some other great OSR products, conventions or the like, but in general, this blog will be used to inform.

So there it is. Please add this blog to your list of sites and check back in to see what is going on here at Pacesetter Games & Simulations. Feel free to comment or ask questions. That is the second reason I wanted to create this blog. I want a two-way street of communication. Let me know what you think. Good or bad, I want your feedback.

Over the next few weeks I will be adding pages devoted to all the previous releases. In those pages you will find my designer notes, history and more.

Respectfully,

Bill Barsh, Pacesetter Games & Simulations
