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 …
Moving On Up
As of this morning, the Kickstarter drive for the BNW trilogy of novels for my 12 for ’12 project stands at over 140% of our original goal! Thanks to each and every one of you who backed the project to make that happen. I can’t tell you how thrilled this makes me. That also puts us at well over halfway toward …
1st Kickstarter Goal Smashed!
Wow, wow, wow. Just a little while ago, the Kickstarter drive for the first trilogy the 12 for ’12 project–novels based on my Brave New World RPG–shattered its first goal of $3,000. That means I’m going to spend January writing the first book in the Brave New World trilogy! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am about that, especially since …
BNW Trilogy Kickstarter is Live!
I just launched the first Kickstarter drive for my 12 for ’12 project! This is for the trilogy of novels I plan to write set in the same world as my Brave New World Roleplaying Game. Kickstarter is a fantastic crowdfunding service that helps creators (like me) take pre-orders for new projects from readers (like you!). The best part about …
The BNW Kickstarter Rewards
I was all set to launch the Kickstarter for the first of the 12 for ’12 trilogies today, but I’ve been sidetracked by delays in Amazon Payments verifying my bank account. I love my small-town bank (1st National Bank of Beloit), but there are times that it would be easier to be one with one of the nationals instead. With …
First 12 for ’12 Trilogy: Brave New World
I’ve been wrestling with how I want to run 12 for ’12, and I’ve decided that the best way is to set it up as four groups of books. At least three of these will be trilogies, while the fourth might be a set of standalone books instead. Like most writers, I have loads of ideas for books, so the …
New 12 for ’12 Logo
My pal Jim Pinto of Postworld Games saw my post about 12 for ’12 the other day and got so excited about it that he went and made me a new logo for it. I think it’s pretty sharp, so I’m going to make good use of it. Thanks, Jim! Jim also created the card art and graphics for Gorilla …
Announcing 12 for ’12
Earlier this year, I had this insane idea, and I’ve been trying to talk myself out of it ever since. I call it “12 for ’12.” It’s a year-long project in which I plan to write a novel every month in 2012. Yeah, I know. It’s nuts, but I can’t get it out of my head. It may not be …
