Pre-Gen Con Goodies

Two of the books I’m looking forward to most at Gen Con are Hobby Games: The 100 Best and 40 Years of Gen Con. I had a tiny hand in each of them, just enough that I don’t have to pay for copies, but I’d be happy to hand over my cash for either. For the first, Jim Lowder collected …

Origins 2007 Report

I’m finally back home from Comic-Con and a family vacation in the UP, and I’m already two convention reports behind. So, let’s hit this one hard and fast.

Back Again, Off Again

Just home from Comic-Con, which is still going on. Had a wonderful time. Saw lots of old friend and made many new ones too. Off again to an undisclosed location. More later!

Comic-Con Bound

I’m off to Comic-Con first thing in the morning. I’ll only be around until Friday night, so if you’re looking for me, do so early. I don’t have any scheduled appearances, just lots of business to attend to, so contact me directly if you can. Either way, I hope to see you there!

Gen Con Schedule

I’m a guest of honor at this year’s Gen Con, and my schedule is sure to grow and change as the show arrives. However, here’s what I know so far: Wednesday Evening: Diana Jones Award Ceremony. An industry-only event held in a super-secret location in downtown Indianapolis on the eve of the convention. Thursday 1—2 PM: Game Design: Bringing Your …

Back to Work

Short Version: Back from Origins. Working to beat next deadline now. Had a great time. Saw lots of friends. Made new ones. Presented an award at the Origins Awards ceremony. GAMA treated the guests like royalty. Reactor 88 Studios showed up Sunday for a quick tour of the show. Long Version: Must wait until later.

Origins Schedule

As a part of my guest of honor duties at Origins this weekend, you can find me taking part in the following seminars. If you’ll be there too, be sure to look me up. I haven’t been to Origins in a few years, and I’m looking forward to seeing many old friends again and making new ones too.

Comic-Con 2007

I just made my hotel reservations for Comic-Con 2007. My plan is to be there from Wednesday through Friday night, July 25—27. It’s a short trip, but I have to be back for the weekend, so I can’t stay the whole time. I don’t have anything official scheduled yet, but if that changes, I’ll be sure to let you know. …

Cool Things at GTS

By the third day of any convention, the standard question is, “What’s the coolest thing you’ve seen?” I didn’t make it that far into GTS this year, so I never had a chance to answer that. To make up for it, here’s three cool things I saw at the show. That’s not to say there weren’t tons of other things, …

Back from GTS

I’ve been back from this year’s GTS for almost a week, so it’s past time I chipped in my con report. In short, I had a great, fast trip, met many people, saw a lot of friends, and did some business.
