About

The Handy Vandal’s Almanac is my forum for writing about anything that interests me which might be of interest to game designers.

If you have feedback, thoughts, interesting links to share, please register as a user and leave a comment. Or send me an email: karl@handyvandal.com.

This is version 2.0 of the Almanac, where I concern myself with game design in the widest possible sense.

The original version of the Almanac (1999-2005) was all about Half-Life — resources for Half-Life mappers, coders, and modellers.

For a brief history … no, let’s be honest: for a long list of emails I received over the years, lauding the Almanac and thanking me for creating it, see Praise for the Original Handy Vandal’s Almanac.
