Pat Rothfuss, author of the excellent The Name of the Wind, has set up Worldbuilders – his annual fundraising drive for Heifer International – once again. As an incentive for fans of genre fiction, Pat and dozens of other authors have donated all sorts of prizes that you can win for taking part in the drive. Every $10 you chip …
New Amortals Reviews
A few new reviews for Amortals cropped up over the long holiday weekend. In the first, Eddy Webb of White Wolf/CCP fame enjoyed the book and contrasted it to Mike Stackpole‘s In Hero Years… I’m Dead, which I happen to be reading at the moment too. Eddy writes: Matt is at the top of his game in creating a fun and …
Help Jim Ward
During the second era of TSR – the one that started after Gary Gygax had been forced out of the company he’d founded – Jim Ward served as the vice president of the company. He’d been there almost since the very start, having written Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes, one of the first D&D supplements. He later wrote Deities & Demigods, with …
Join the InSpectres
The guys over at Reactor 88 Studios have set up a fund drive for the InSpectres film on IndieGoGo. Principal photography wrapped on the picture last month, but there’s a long way to go in post-production, showing the film around, etc., and that all eats money. I co-wrote the screenplay for this with Jeff Dohm, and it’s a funny adventure …

(Some of) My Favorite SF/F Games
I ran into John DeNardo of the excellent SF Signal at the World Fantasy Convention over Halloween weekend. I’ve been following the site for a while, and we hit it off while chatting at the Tor party. They do a fantastic job of covering all the news for genre lit. Yesterday, I saw they had a new “Mind Meld” post …
Blogging for Tor.com
Just a few minutes ago, my first post for Tor.com went live. It’s called “Dungeons & Dragons Returns to Comics,” and it talks a bit about the history of D&D and its publishers with comics. Then it riffs into a quick rave about the new D&D comic from IDW, written by my friend John Rogers, who also runs the TV …
Warpcore SF Reviews Amortals
Ros Jackson over at Warpcore SF gives Amortals a glowing review. “The story comes together as a great multi-stranded thriller, peppered with some good red herrings. It’s high-octane, with plenty of hovercars and crazed factions out for Agent Dooley’s high-profile blood. Add this to his recklessness and determination to get to the bottom of the mystery and you have the …
