Beyond the Storm in Print–and a Preview for You
Beyond the Storm: Shadows in the Big Easy is now available in softcover as well as a PDF. You can order either or both versions from Lulu.com.

D&D Designer Answers
Wizards of the Coast has posted the answers to the D&D developer’s test I mentioned earlier. Best of all, the answers are those that recent-hire Mike Mearls gave when he took the test, and they feature comments from Jesse Decker, who explains how well Mike did.

As Commercial As It Gets
I just saw a preview of the TV commercial that Playmates is going to run early next year to promote Marvel Heroes Battle Dice. This should get heavy rotation in lots of regions of the television lineup that I usually only see while peering over my kids’ shoulders. It looks great, and that’s even before they add the animated bits. …
I’m Baaaack
On September 21, I left the US for Prague, to witness the marriage of one of my best friends, Bill King, to the love of his life. I got back on the 28th, and I’m just now caught up enough to spend time on this website. As you might guess from the slew of new posts, I’ve had lots of …
