I am going to shift the focus of this site to a certain extent. I am still planning to write about tabletop games. I haven’t lost interest in tabletop games at all. My regular gaming group is still going strong. We’re currently taking a break from our Swords & Wizardry campaign and playing a fun 1920’s pulp game using the Savage Worlds system. So, I still have plenty of stuff to say about tabletop gaming. Hopefully, I’ll write more frequently about gaming in the coming months.
The change in the site actually comes from a broadening of my interests. As I wrote about in a previous post, I wrote a short story that will be 
published soon. I’m also working other stories. It would be nice to be able to write more about the writing process here on this site.
The big impetus for the change to the site is I have recently (very recently – as in last week) gotten interested in video game development. I was lucky enough to attend the Google I/O Developers Conference. I attended the session Kick-ass Game Programming with Google Web Toolkit. You can watch it yourself at this link. It inspired me to attempt writing one of them newfangled video games. It already fits in with the main themes of the site: 1) gaming and 2) I barely know what I’m doing. It works out nicely. I plan to use this site to chronicle my efforts. For the time being, that will be the main focus Level 1 Gamer.
I am also working on another project that is still in its infancy. (Like I need more to work on.) I’ll have more on that soon.
I really just have the urge to open up what I write here on Level 1 Gamer to other topics as my interests broaden.
