My friends (and publishers) at Angry Robot have helpfully provided a solution for all your Halloween costuming needs: the Angry Robot mask. Just print, cut, strap (or staple, glue, weld, etc.), and you’re all set to scare the simpering souls out of your fleshy, free-willed friends. Better yet, the Angry Robots promise the nebulous award of “prizes” for the best …

If you missed those events, this is your first chance to see it in all its explodey glory, so be …
Weekend = Halloween Party and Geek.Kon
I had a jam-packed weekend. I started off by taking Ann down to the High Voltage Software Halloween party in Hoffman Estates on Friday night. This is held in a motion-capture studio–essentially a wide-open warehouse–filled with dozens of wildly creative people competing to come up with the best costume. Ann went as a geisha girl–a.k.a. ninja momma–while I broke out …
Bring on Geek.Kon!
This weekend, you can find me at Geek.Kon, the all-geek-matters convention in Madison, Wisconsin. I’m one of the guests of honor, along with Bill Bodden, Aaron Pavao, Kyle Herbert, Chad Corrie, Sandeep Parikh, and reps from Raven Software. I’ll be wandering around for a good part of the show, but my confirmed schedule includes “Gaming Publishing” at 1 PM on …
Taking Gaming by Swarm
Mike Bohlmann caught one of my seminars at Gen Con this summer. Afterward, he introduced himself and explained his idea about sourcing new RPG projects by tapping the collective gaming hivemind. The result is bySwarm.com. It all seems like a solid plan and an engaging way for players and designers to be involved at every step of the process. As …
The BNW RPG Character Sheet PDF
This summer, AEG and DriveThruRPG released my Brave New World Roleplaying Game line in PDF format. However, some fans of the original in-print edition asked if they could get just the character sheet as a PDF, as photocopying it from the middle of the hardcover rulebook isn’t all that easy. That’s an easy enough request, so here it is! Print …

Matt James at Loremaster.org asked me to join him in an ongoing interview with him and the members of the site. We just got started, so if you have any burning questions to ask me in front of lots of other people, skip on over to the forum and give it a go!
Marvel Encyclopedia in Stores Today
I’m told that the new edition of The Marvel Encyclopedia, which I revised for DK Publishing, should be out in stores in North America today. I had a ball working on this book. I’ve never had such a great excuse for reading so many comic books in a stretch. The fact that I get to share a byline with Tom …
Marvel Encyclopedia Limited Edition Details
The fine people at DK Publishing have given me more details on The Marvel Encyclopedia Limited Edition. The limited edition is printed on high-quality art paper. Only 1,000 copies of the limited edition were printed, and it will be available at Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, and retailers who buy from Diamond Comics, as well as several wholesale clubs. The book …
High Adventure: Back in the Game
I recently signed on to be part of a team of tabletop game designers writing “High Adventure,” a series of columns for the best all-around gaming magazine on the web: The Escapist. I’ve been a faithful reader of the magazine for years and even wrote an article about Prey back in early 2007. Now, though, I’ll be chipping in something …
