Remember, if you’re anywhere near Beloit, Wisconsin, this Saturday, stop by the Turtle Creek (Beloit College) bookstore around 9:30 AM. I’ll be there signing anything you put in front of me. I’m heading off to Italy next week to help celebrate my sister Jody’s wedding. I don’t think I’ll have internet access there, so there won’t be an update next …
Dave Sutherland Is Dying
I recently learned that Dave Sutherland, a longtime TSR employee and the artist behind much of the early D&D and Tekumel products, is terminally ill. To pay his medical bills and hopefully leave something for his wife and daughters, he and his sister are auctioning off much of his gaming stuff on eBay, including some real rare gems. You can …
Beloit College Book Signing
The summer convention season is over, which means I mostly stay hunkered down in my office and type for the next six months or so. However, I do have a book signing for Secret of the Spiritkeeper at Turtle Creek, the Beloit College bookstore, on September 18, starting at 9:30 AM. That’s right in Beloit, Wisconsin, my hometown. Please stop …

Collecting What’s Due
I haven’t completed much this week (other than sending a proposal for the Origins Awards to the GAMA board). Instead, I’ve been busy invoicing for services rendered. As with most freelance gigs, it’s one thing to get the job and something else entirely to get paid for it.
Dracula’s Revenge Review Up
I just got a note from Steve Creech over at d20 Magazine Rack. They have the first full-fledged review of posted right here. It’s both thorough and flattering, just the way I like it.
Back from Gen Con!
Gen Con was flat-out amazing. I’ve been to the show 23 years in a row now (I started young), and I can’t imagine my summers without it. For me, this is like summer camp wrapped up with Christmas in August, except you get to pick out (and buy) your own gifts.
Off to Gen Con!
I’m off to Gen Con early tomorrow morning, so there will be no big update this week. I hope to have lots of news to share next week, or at least some great Gen Con stories. If you’ll be at the show, please stop by the Green Ronin booth and say hi. Or find me at one of my seminars …
