We came, we saw, we geeked liked crazy! The 16th annual Clobberin' Con went down at Comic-Con International in San Diego on July 14-17, 2005, and you can read all about it and check out all the photos. Almost like being there...but without the great weather. And the smell.

Aaron Storck

Aaron's Online Zine #1

Aaron Storck has quit with the individual contributions and finally caved in and started his own regular zine! In this first presentation, Aaron re-introduces himself, his life and his history with the 'Times, its members, and with gaming. He also fills you on what it was like to host an hour of radio on San Diego's 91X while he was in town for Comic-Con. And in the Forte 2000 department, he presents both the Dyna Girl character sheet and a new Dyna Girl story (guest-starring teammate Vortex) called "After Hours".
