Over at SFFWRTCHT (Science-Fiction and Fantasy Writers Chat), Bryan Thomas Schmidt interviews me about a whole load of different things, including primarily my 12 for ’12 project. It wound up being an extensive interview that goes on for a long bit, but that’s what happens when you cover that much ground. Then, over at Squid Eye and the Bitter Guy, …
Grab the BNW RPG for Only $5!
We only have 12 days left in my first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive, so it’s time to make a special announcement. One of the most frequent requests I’ve gotten for new rewards is to figure out some way to include copies of the original Brave New World RPG. Because I don’t publish that game – my friends at AEG do – …
Kickstarter Over 200%!
This morning, bestselling author Mike Stackpole chipped in what we needed to crack $6,000, which brings our total to 200% of our goal! That puts us only $2k away from unlocking Book 2. I have little doubt we’ll be able to manage that within the next 15 days, but the real push will be toward reaching the final stretch goal …
BNW, Novelizations, and the Onion
Today, three articles about my 12 for ’12 project appeared. In the first, on the Civilian Reader website, I wrote a guest post about “What Is Brave New World?” It’s a question that comes up a lot, of course, and I tried to nail down the answer. Next, I wrote a guest post for Bryan Thomas Schmidt’s SFFWRTCHT website. (That’s …
12 for ’12 Interviews
Today sees two excellent interviews with me about 12 for ’12 and writing in general. In the first, über-writer Chuck Wending gave me one of the most challenging and intriguing sets of questions I’ve ever faced outside of a police station. The conversation ranged from 12 for ’12 to Carpathia to advice about both writing and parenting, and it turns out …
Speed Writing
As part of my efforts to promote my 12 for ’12 project and its first Kickstarter drive (which is up to 191% and lurching toward unlocking Book 2!), I’m doing a bit of a blog tour. Today, I have guest posts that went up on two different websites, and in both cases, I wrote about writing fast. Over at SFSignal, …
BNW Map News
One of my old gaming pals, Aaron Acevedo, contacted me as soon as he heard about my first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive. As he says, he’s “a huge BNW fanboy,” and he volunteered to chip in something awesome for my readers. As of this weekend, I’ve commissioned from him a full-color, 11″ x 17″ map of Crescent City, the main setting …
12 for ’12 News Spreading
A lot of wonderful people have been out there telling folks about my 12 for ’12 project and the first Kickstarter drive for it, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I’d like to highlight a couple bits today. First, Cindy Au – who works at Kickstarter – blogged about the project yesterday in her post, “So …
Geek Dad Book and Reviews
The Geek Dad Book for Aspiring Mad Scientists came out on November 5. This is the third in the series by the head Geek Dad, Ken Denmead, and the first for which I chipped in. I built a potato cannon this past spring and fired it off over a couple lakes this summer just for fun. Pick up the book, …
RPG Geek of the Week
This past Sunday, I was named RPG Geek of the Week over at RPG Geek. I’m flattered all to hell, of course, and I’ve been taking care of my duties over at the RPG Geek forums. These consist entirely of answering the barrage of questions the fine folks over there have been flinging at me all week. If you’d care …
