The Magic: The Gathering trade paperback (TPB) hits stores today. This collects issues #1—4 of the Magic: The Gathering miniseries I wrote for IDW, with gorgeous art by MartÃn Cóccolo and handsome colors by J. Edwin Stevens. See below for a preview. I had a fantastic time writing these comics, and I’ve had even more fun working on the next miniseries in the …
Dangerous Games Is Done!
The Dangerous Games Kickstarter came to a thunderous end tonight, and I’m still sitting here stunned. This morning, we had $15,298 and 349 backers, and I was thrilled with that. After all, we’d already beaten the records of both previous Kickstarters in the 12 for ’12 series on both counts, right? My only hope was that we’d reach $16,000 so I could have a …
Third Dangerous Games Stretch Goal Unlocked!
Just a little while ago, the Dangerous Games Kickstarter breached the $16,000 mark, which crashed through our third stretch goal! That means I’ll be producing a Gen Con-related playset for Fiasco! That will go out free to all backers first before being released to the public. Woot! We already broke the first two stretch goals, of course, which means that those who back at the …
Last Day for Dangerous Games!
The Dangerous Games Kickstarter ends in just under 24 hours, at midnight Eastern Time on Father’s Day, June 17. It has been a smashing success so far, and I want to thank each and every one of my backers for all that they’ve done, both financially (pledges), morally (encouragement), and socially (getting the word out). Together, we smashed the 12 for ’12 records …
New Dangerous Games Stretch Goal!
All right, I give up. I just can’t stop thinking about new stretch goals for the Dangerous Games Kickstarter. I finally figured out one that I thought would be both cool and fun. At $16k, I’ll produce a Dangerous Games playset for Fiasco! For those that don’t know, Fiasco is Jason Morningstar’s excellent tabletop storytelling game of people with “powerful ambition and poor impulse control.” It’s …
2nd Dangerous Games Stretch Goal Unlocked!
We smashed through the second Dangerous Games stretch goal last night. This means that anyone who backs this drive at the $75+ level gets not only the regular reward but free standard ebook editions of the Matt Forbeck’s Brave New World and Shotguns & Sorcery trilogies. That’s a total of nine ebooks, plus a printed Dangerous Games omnibus! Thanks to everyone who made this happen! I don’t …
12 for ’12 Record Smashed!
Yesterday evening, the Dangerous Games Kickstarter crossed the $13,276 mark set by the Brave New World trilogy, which officially makes this the best-funded of the three 12 for ’12 drives! We’re still a little shy of the number of backers the Shotguns & Sorcery trilogy had, but if we can add another 24 people in the next five days, we’ll snap that tape too. …
Dangerous Games Stretch Goal #1 Unlocked!
Yesterday, the Dangerous Games Kickstarter drive smashed through the $12,000 barrier, which unlocks the first Respect the Streak stretch goal! That means all pledges of $50 or more get free ebook copies of the Matt Forbeck’s Brave New World trilogy of novels. Since the first one is already out, I’ll send that to all the eligible backers as soon as this Kickstarter drive ends. …
Falling Behind and Catching Up
As you might guess, if you’ve been following me on Twitter, I’m a bit behind. I had that horrible cold at the start of May that laid me out flat for a week, and it also ran through every member of my family. Since I work out of my house, a good bit of the responsibility for taking care of …
Kobold Guide Wins Origins Award!
Last night, the winners of the 38th annual Origins Awards were announced. Michael Tresca has a full list, including the nominees, along with a slideshow of the covers of the winners. Arcanis picked up the Best Roleplaying Game nod for my pals at Paradigm Concepts, beating out the Leverage RPG on which I worked. Still, I can console myself with the …
