I just got my author’s copies of Ghost Stories in today’s mail, and I understand the book should be in stores soon. It’s an anthology of adventures for regular mortals set in White Wolf‘s World of Darkness, plus some guidelines on how to use ghosts in your World of Darkness game. Rick Chillot, Geoff Grabowski, Matthew McFarland, Adam Tinworth, Chuck …
LA Bound
Up until a week or so ago, I didn’t have any plans to make it to Gen Con So Cal, despite the wonderful time I had there last year. Then I got a call from a company that wants to fly me out to LA for part of that week for a meeting. I arrive November 30 and depart December …
It’s Quiet—Too Quiet
My apologies for not posting here much lately. There have been two reasons for that: 1) I haven’t had a whole lot to report. 2) Various colds and viruses have been treating my family like the Packers treat a loose football. Now, though, it seems like we’re all on the mend, and I’m rolling again. I used the blank spots …
Comments Working
I built Forbeck.com around Movable Type, a great blogging and content management tool. Like many bloggers, however, spambots inundated my pages with comment spam. I recently upgraded to Movable Type 3.1 so I could implement its new antispam tools. This includes a commenter registration service designed to put a stop to spambots and the like. I had a few issues …
Ghost Stories
I’m told that White Wolf just got advance copies of Ghost Stories in their office. I’m looking forward to seeing the book myself. It should be in stores in November, hopefully earlier than later.
No Comments
I’ve been getting a ton of spam in the comments sections on this site, so I upgraded to the latest version of Movable Type. It works great at stopping the spam, but it also breaks some of the custom templates I generated for use with the last version of the program. As such, I’ve shut comments off for now. I …
Xbox in the House
As a reward for finishing up the second draft of Marked for Death, the first in my Eberron trilogy, I went out and bought myself an Xbox. Since I left Human Head, I no longer have a PC on which to play games—one of the great benefits of that job. I’m a happy Mac user, but the fact is that …
New Novel: Blood Bowl
I’m currently hard at work on my next novel, a book for Games Workshop‘s novels and comics division, The Black Library. It’s based on Blood Bowl, GW’s game of fantasy football, in which orcs, dwarves, elves, skaven (rat-people), undead, and even humans violently spar for supremacy on the blood-spattered pitch. It’s an explosive and hilarious mix of fantasy and sports. …
Novels Rolling Along
I’m getting back into the freelance swing of things again. I polished off the final draft of Marked for Death, the first in my Eberron trilogy, due out in March of 2005. Then I realized I’d made a big goof, and I had to fix that. (“That one-handed character is hanging from the edge of an airship while holding up …
Hungry Little Monsters Due in November
According to the website of the newly minted Sean K. Reynolds Games, Hungry Little Monsters is due as a PDF release in November. HLM is a charity jam book Sean developed, much in the vein of the Swords into Plowshares book he produced last year. Proceeds go to benefit FoodforAll.org, which is dedicated to feeding needy people. The book features …
