Today I finally delivered the last missing bit for the Shotguns & Sorcery: The Roleplaying Game Kickstarter run by Outland Entertainment. It’s an art book that shows off the coolest bits of art that we produced for the game, the cards, the stories, and even the comic book over the years. It’s been a long road, but when I agreed …
The Shotguns & Sorcery 5E Sourcebook Kickstarter
As you may know, I took over the fulfillment of the Kickstarter for Shotguns & Sorcery: The Roleplaying Game after the license I granted Outland Entertainment expired. Although I had no legal obligation to fulfill that Kickstarter, I felt an ethical duty to my fans who backed it, so I set to working with Outland to make sure that every …
Good News: Monster Academy Games!
The folks at Calliope and Lone Shark Games have announced that I’m working on a pair of games with them based upon my Monster Academy novels. There are actually three of them, which I delivered to backers a few years ago, but so far I’ve only released Monster Academy: I Will Not Eat People to the public. This was part …
My Gamehole Con Schedule
Because of the pandemic, I’m only doing two conventions this year. The first is Gen Con — which happens this coming week — and you can see my relatively loose schedule for that here. The second is my favorite local convention, Gamehole Con, which is held in Madison, Wisconsin, from October 21–24. My son Marty and I have a full …
My Gen Con Schedule
It’s hard to believe, but Gen Con kicks off a week from today, on September 15. It’s normally in early August, of course, but the pandemic bumped it six weeks later. Ironically, because of the rise of the delta variant of COVID the original dates would probably have been safer, but that’s the problem with trying to predict such things …
Minecraft Dungeons Gets a Scribe Nod
On Monday, the IAMTW (International Association of Media Tie-In Writers) announced the nominees for this year’s Scribe Awards. I was pleased to see my novel Minecraft Dungeons: The Rise of the Arch-Illager made the list for Best YA/MG Novel! It shares that honor with: In the Study With the Wrench (a Clue novel) by Diana Peterfreund Liberty and Justice for All (a …
The New Marvel RPG
On Friday, Marvel announced its plans to publish a new tabletop roleplaying game called the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game. Normally, I’d be pretty excited about this because I’m a lifelong Marvel fan and roleplaying gamer. I learned how to read with Spidey comics, and I played the classic Marvel Super Heroes RPG from TSR till my boxed set fell apart. …
Biomutant Is Here!
Hey, it’s midnight in Stockholm, so…. On May 25, 2021 (today-ish), the brand-new video game Biomutant launches to the public. My pal Stefan Ljungqvist has been working on this amazing game for years, and I’m thrilled that it’s finally out there for the world to play. I first met Stefan something like 30 years ago, back when he was at …
Bye, Feedburner
This post probably doesn’t apply to most of you reading it, but if you get my posts emailed to you via Google’s Feedburner, that’s all about to stop. Google is finally laying Feedburner to rest, which means it won’t bring my posts to your email inbox any more. All’s not lost though. I’m switching over to Jetpack/Wordpress for subscriptions to …
A Long-Expected Update
Wow, it’s been a long time since I updated this blog. Let’s just say that helping hold down the home fort during a pandemic and getting work done at the same time has been a wild juggling challenge, and this is one of the flaming chainsaws I let drop. Since the last post back in December, I managed to get …
