As for starting a game company, I’ve been down that path before, and I hesitate to travel it again. Founding and running Pinnacle with Shane Hensley was an incredible experience, but it also taught me that I’d rather be a game designer than a game publisher. I make more money and have less stress. If the right idea or opportunity came along, I’d jump at it, but it would have to be stunningly good.

For Chimaeracon, I’d love to visit Texas again, and I’ve never been to San Antonio. Taking off in the middle of the school year isn’t easy for me, but I’m happy to talk with any con that can fund the travel and lodging expenses for me as a special guest.

The road seems well traveled for you and you definately have the network to help support you in such an endeavour.

I am personally hoping to make it to Protospiel, Origins, and Gen Con next year. Will be at SoCal this year and seriously wished our small game convention here in San Antonio http://www.chimaeracon.com/ was big enough to make a trip down here worthwhile for you.
