I just went through all the static pages and updated them a bit. This includes new entries for “Current Projects” and “Upcoming Appearances.” I also posted a new picture of me and my family under “About Matt Forbeck.” Check it out if you want to see exactly why I do what I do.
GTS Ahoy!
As I mentioned before, the fine folks at GAMA have asked me to handle their freelancers seminar track at this year’s GAMA Trade Show. This is in Las Vegas from March 14 through 17. I’ll be moderating two seminars: Freelancing for Beginners and Advanced Freelancing. I’ve managed to wrangle some top-notch talent to help me out: Keith Baker, Kenneth Hite, …
Origins Awards Are Go!
Last summer, after the last GAMA elections, the new board hired me to lead a task force charged with reworking the Origins Awards. That job’s now done. As with most things where you get lots of different inputs and try to forge a consensus, I don’t think it’s perfect for anyone. Hopefully, though, most people will be happy with the …
Blast from the Past: Seven Cities
Spike Y. Jones just gave a kind review to my Seven Cities d20 sourcebook on RPG.net. Atlas Games published the book back in 2002, so it’s like a trip in the Way-Back Machine to read about it now. Still, Spike’s an excellent editor and notoriously demanding, so his praise means that much more, no matter when it might arrive.
Freelancer School
The fine folks at GAMA asked me to help out with the freelancers’ seminar track at this year’s trade show in Las Vegas. I lined up some premier talent for them: Ken Hite, Keith Baker, Aaron Rosenberg, and myself. If you want to know more about freelancing in the adventure game industry and how to do it well, you could …
King Blogging
I just found out that my old buddy Bill King (William King of Warhammer novels fame) has a blog. In it, he writes about the writing process and his upcoming stuff. To me, it’s like sitting in our flat and listening to him rant or rave about something again. It’s always brilliant. I recommend checking it out.
Blood Bowl Cover Up
You can now preorder my first Blood Bowl novel through Amazon.com by clicking here. Here’s a preview of the cover:
Syndicated Feeds Up
I’m tired of surfing to read the various websites I keep up with, so I started fiddling around with an RSS newsreader. When I tried syndicating this site, nothing happened. I fiddled around with my Movable Type installation a bit, and bingo! I now have feeds for RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom, and RSD. Or so I think. I’ve only …
Geek Fu, ReplayTV Style
Last night, inspired by one of Aaron Williams‘s excellent Full Frontal Nerdity strips, I busted open my year-old ReplayTV and upgraded the hard drive from 40 GB to 200 GB. Everything went well, if not smoothly, especially considering I was using an iBook running Linux programs through Terminal, attached to the guts of a Firewire/USB 2.0 external hard drive enclosure, …
Conan Guru, Reporting for Duty
I just took on a gig as the content guru for Conan Properties, the people who own Robert E. Howard’s Conan. I’ll be working with authors, publishers, and other licensors as the arbiter of all things Conan, the original fantasy hero. This should be a blast, as I’ve been a Howard fan since I first stumbled upon his stuff in …
