The Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter is winding down to its final moments. As I write this, we have jut 56 hours to go, and the total stands at just under $7,000. HUGE thanks to everyone who chipped in and helped out. I’m pretty confident we can crack the $8k barrier, which unlocks Book 2. I don’t know if we’ll make …
Shotguns & Sorcery Interview
Over on his Have Dice, Will Travel blog, my pal Keith Baker interviews me about Shotguns & Sorcery. Among his many accomplishments, Keith is the man who created the Eberron setting for Dungeons & Dragons. As he writes in the interview, “When I pitched Eberron, I described it as The Lord of the Rings meets Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Maltese Falcon.” If …
Three Days Left!
At the moment, we have just over 80 hours left until the end of the Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter. We crossed the halfway mark – $6,000! – to unlocking all three of the books yesterday, which means 200% of the initial goal! However, that leaves us with $2k to go to unlock Book 2 and $4k after that for Book …
Interview with Chuck Wendig
Back when I ran my first Kickstarter, Chuck Wendig was kind enough to interview me for his blog. Since he’s running his own Kickstarter now – and I’m running another one myself – I figured it was time to return the favor. Much like myself, Chuck started out working in the tabletop gaming industry – he was a developer for …
New Kickstarter Benefit!
We’re in this drive’s final days (only 4 days left!), and I want to do everything I can to encourage people to jump on board and back it. To that end, I’m announcing a new benefit I call Respect the Streak. If we manage to unlock all three novels (by cracking $12k in funding), I’ll give free ebook editions of the Brave …
Figuring Kickstarter Rewards
I’ve had a few requests from supporters of my current Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter to come up with a way for them to be able to get in on the original 12 for ’12 Kickstarter I ran for the Brave New World novels. On the face of it, that’s a great idea. I’d love to get more people to read the …
Six Days Left!
The second Kickstarter for my 12 for ’12 plan comes to a close this Sunday evening. That gives us only six days to raise the rest of the money needed to unlock the next two books in the Shotguns & Sorcery trilogy. We shattered the goal for the first book in less than 32 hours. After that, the total climbed …
New Magic: The Gathering Miniseries
Sharp-eyed fans have noticed that IDW has announced a second miniseries of the Magic: The Gathering comics I write for IDW, subtitled The Spell Thief. It features the exact same team that brought you the first miniseries, and it’s due out later this year. As the solicitation text says: Planeswalker Dack Fayden has followed Sifa Grent into a mysterious plane, …
Streams Crossed!
The Crossing the Streams contest came to an end last night, and today we have winners! First, we have Chris Bauer, whose Hollywood-style mash-up tickled my fancy the most: Rotten Sweet Tooth Imagine Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory meets Dawn of the Dead, okay? Starring Vin Diesel or John Cena (whoever is available) as the fearless, chainsaw-wielding candymaster who …
Magic: The Gathering #2 Preview
Magic: The Gathering #2, which I write for IDW, hit stores yesterday. Here’s a preview for you to check out so you can see the fantastic work that artist Martin Cóccolo and colorist J. Edwin Stevens have created to make my words look so good. Major Spoilers made the book one of their Picks of the Week. Grab it fast before …
