GAMA announced the finalists for this year’s Origins Awards yesterday. I can’t find a mention yet on GAMA’s site, but thankfully ICv2.com has a full list. I’m happy to note that three products in which I had a small part made the cut this year. They are: Best Publication, Non-Fiction: 40 Years of Gen Con by Robin Laws. Robin interviewed …
Mix It at CauseIt
My friend Wes Harris (from waaay back in the early White Wolf days) just showed me something cool. His company, EdgeDriven.com, has just launched a new political website: CauseIt.com. It’s a fun, easy tool that lets you create your own politically oriented video mix-clips in your favorite browser. I tossed one together in under five minutes, just for fun. The …
Orcs Cover Spotted
The fine people at Del Rey have posted a cover for my upcoming hardcover, coffee-table book Orcs. It looks pretty sharp, and I’m told the shield on the cover will have an embossed texture and that a couple holes will appear where arrows have gone through it. Orcs should be on shelves by November 4, just in time for the …
Pitching Games at Conventions
Tyler Tinsley writes to ask: I just listened to a recording of a freelancing seminar you had at GAMA. I just wanted to say thanks. While I have been sending games to companies for a few years, I just got my first gig as a freelance game designer and hearing your words have helped. I want to start going to …
Blood Bowl Script #3 Done
I was up late last night, but I polished off the script to Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #3. To celebrate, here are some shots of some of the artwork slated for that very comic. The one to the left is the main cover, and the one to the right is for a variant cover. The BOOM! Studios crew gave the …
Bob Bledsaw Dies
James Mishler reports that Bob Bledsaw, founder of the Judges Guild, died in the morning of Saturday, April 19. He passed away in his home in Decatur, Illinois, after a battle with cancer. The Judges Guild site has an excellent obituary. I never met Bob, but I loved his work. He published the first-ever third-party adventures for Dungeons & Dragons, …
Storytellers and GTS
My latest post at Storytellers Unplugged is up, and it’s the opening day of the GAMA Trade Show, which I’m still not at. How do the two intersect in my head? Read the post to find out.
No GTS for Me
Sadly, I am not going to make it to the GAMA Trade Show next week. I love the convention and encourage anyone interested in making or selling tabletop games to attend. It’s a wonderful experience, and I’ll miss being there–as well as the too-rare chance to see so many good friends.
R.E.V.s Comic for Free!
A couple years back, I produced a comic for Playmates Toys‘ new line of automotive action figures: R.E.V.s. I wrote it and hired Max Bertolini to supply the wonderful art, and IDW to tackle the lettering. The comic appeared on a CD-ROM included in the box with every R.E.V.s toy. It also featured an animated version of the comic, for …
Spiritkeeper in Japan
A little while back, my über-editor Nina Hess–who’s in charge of the young-adult fiction at Wizards of the Coast–sent me a copy of my first hardcover novel. Secret of the Spiritkeeper, which was my first mass-market novel when it hit shelves in 2004, just came out in a brand-new Japanese translation from ASCII, and although I can’t read a word …
