I’m planning to be at Comic-Con this summer, from July 23—26. Anyone else out there going to be there? At the moment, I have one panel planned: FRIDAY, JULY 24 3:00-4:30 Scribe Awards/Media Tie-in Writers Panel – third annual presentation of the International Association of Media-Tie-in Writers (IAMTW) “Scribe” awards, honoring such notable franchises as CSI, Criminal Minds, The X-Files, …
Gen Con Guest Pages and Plans
It’s on the internet, so it must be official. I’m once again to be an Industry Insider Guest of Honor at Gen Con this summer. That means you’ll be able to find me roaming Indianapolis from August 12—16, hunting for games, books, and friends like a hungry dog. Once again, I’ll be part of a great crew this year, including …
A Chronologically Circular OddCon Report
Last Saturday, I ran up to Madison for OddCon. It’s a great, little science-fiction and fantasy convention, and this was my second time as a guest. (I made it there in 2005 and had to skip out on account of a family illness in 2007. Seems like an every-other-year thing for me for some reason.) Sadly, I didn’t have a …
OddCon It Is
Just a reminder that I’ll be at OddCon for a short while this weekend. I’m scheduled for a seminar on Saturday at 2:30 PM. It’s called “Game Fiction,” and it features Monica Valentinelli, Matt McElroy, Pat Rothfuss, and me. I’ll likely have to take off in the early evening to get back home, so it’ll be a short trip for …
Going to GTS
After having to skip last year’s show, I’m on my way back to the GAMA Trade Show (April 14—17). I’m on two seminars here: “Secrets of Good Game Design” on April 15 at 10 AM and “Tips for Freelancers” on April 16 at 10 AM. If you’ll be there, let me know. I only have a short stay in town, …
The Gen Con Drama Deepens
This morning, I wake up to find that the fine folks at ICv2.com have done some excellent digging around about the Gen Con takeover bid. First, they eliminated the most likely suspects for the mysterious backers of the Gen Con Acquisition Group. It’s not GAMA, and it’s not F & W Publications. Then they learned the truth–or at least part …
I’m Baaack!
I got back from Gen Con last night after three and a half weeks on the road, and I’m suffering from a self-inflicted case of happily exhausted. I launched this summer voyage with a quick trip out to the first couple days of Comic-Con, then spiraled into two and a half weeks of a working vacation in the Northwoods, followed …
Back from Comic-Con
I had a wonderful if too-brief time at Comic-Con. I flew out of Milwaukee early on the morning of July 23 and arrived too early to check into my room at the Horton Grand or to get my badge for the show. I wandered around a bit, caught some lunch, then got into the room. I worked for a couple …
Gen Con Schedule
Gen Con is already shaping up to be a busy week. If you want to see me, this is your best chance all year. It’s the only official convention appearance I have planned, and I seem to be making up for that by trying to cram as much into the Four Best Days in Gaming as I can. At the …
