Sadly, I can’t talk about it yet, but I finished writing a book late last night. It should be out later this year, and as soon as I can I’ll tell you all about it. I hate being a tease about such things, but I’m just thrilled to have topped that particular peak and had to share. Back to the …
Mutant Storytellers
My latest essay is up at Storytellers Unplugged. This one’s about my recent trip to Hollywood for a preview of the Mutant Chronicles film, why I was asked out to fly out for it, and why I went.
Blood Bowl Goes Boom!
Boom! Studios today banged out a press release for my upcoming Blood Bowl comic-book miniseries: Blood Bowl: Killer Contract. See below for the full text. While we’re at it, here’s the concept art for the one of the three variant covers for issue #1. That’s #7 Dunk Hoffnung sailing over the crowd, with M’Grash and Spinne opening the way. Lads …
Peter’s Open Letter
ICv2.com has posted an open letter from Peter Adkison, CEO of Gen Con and Hidden City Games (and all-round great guy), about Gen Con’s entry into Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. If you’re interested in the show (and what self-respecting gamer wouldn’t be?), it’s worth the read.
I Voted
I voted this morning in the Presidential primaries here in Wisconsin. I had to register with the new address and vote at a different place, but in this state you can walk up and do so on the day of the polls and then vote right after. You can also vote for whoever you like, without having to be a …
Vote, Badgers, Vote
If you live in Wisconsin, as I do, don’t forget we have a primary tomorrow, and get yourself down to the polls. If you’re paying any attention to the world at all, this would be difficult to miss, but it always bears repeating. It’s great to have a close race still going on with the Democrats this late in the …
Storytellers Up for Stoker
Storytellers Unplugged, the communal writers blog to which I contribute a monthly piece, just snagged a nomination for a Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association. If the website wins, the award will go to our founders/moderators/organizers Joe Nassise and David Niall Wilson. These two put in a ton of work to make the website sing, and they deserve every …
Gen Con Woes
Word is that Gen Con has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This comes on the heels of the news that Lucasfilm recently filed suit against the company over bills related to the latest Star Wars Celebration, which Gen Con put on last year. This is not good news. I love Gen Con, and I love the people who run it. …
Mutants Loose in Hollywood
I got back from Hollywood last night after one of the smoothest trips I’ve ever had. The good people at Paradox Entertainment (particularly Fred Malmberg and Jay Zetterberg) flew me out for a preview screening of the upcoming Mutant Chronicles movie and supplemented that with a couple of excellent nights out. As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m writing the novelization …
Key Largo and Paul Randles
My pal Mike Selinker just had his latest game published: Key Largo. Mike’s a wonderful and imaginative designer and has created a number of excellent games, but this one is something special because of his co-designers: Bruno Faidutti and Paul Randles. Bruno is one of the great European board game designers, but Paul’s the one that makes this project something …
