I took the week off after Comic-Con and headed into the Northwoods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for a much-needed break. I’m back home now, though, and preparing for the greatest event of the year: GEN CON. I’ll be there for all four and a half days, starting tomorrow night. Here’s my public schedule: Wednesday, August 1 9 PM: …
Find Me at Comic-Con!
I’m heading out to San Diego for Comic-Con International next week, and I have a good slate of appearances set up. Here’s where you can find me at the show: Friday, July 20 11 AM: Signing at the Simon & Schuster booth (#1128). They should have copies of my Halo novels on sale, including Halo: Bad Blood. I’ve only signed a handful …
Find Me at Gen Con!
Hard to believe it, but Gen Con (the best time of the year!) is just seven weeks away. It’s my favorite event of the entire year, and I never miss it. I’ve been going since 1982, which means this will be my 37th Gen Con in a row. I’ve been a guest at the show for more years than I care …
Hello, Emerald City!
I’m off to Emerald City Comic Con this weekend, a last-minute thing I tacked onto a trip to Seattle. I only have one official event at the entire show. You can find me there at the Lone Shark Games booth (Fourth Floor, 204) from 2—3 PM on Saturday, where I’ll be signing cards for the Apocrypha Adventure Card Game, a game for …
Heading to Gamehole Con!
This weekend – November 3—5 – I’ll be at Gamehole Con, one of the best tabletop gaming conventions in the country. They manage this by inviting a slew of (nearly 50) amazing guests and treating them right. They also are one of the only conventions (outside of Gen Con) to host True Dungeon, an amazing kind of live-action fantasy roleplaying …
M+DEV and Menomonee Falls
I have a busy weekend coming up. On Friday, I’m going to be at M+DEV, the inaugural Madison Game Development Conference. If you’re anywhere nearby and are interested in working on video games for a living, this looks like it’s going to be a phenomenal conference. The keynote speaker is Warren Spector (Ultima, Thief, Wing Commander, System Shock, Deus Ex, Epic …
Going to Grand Con (and Other Places)!
Thanks to everyone who came out and joined me at Gen Con. We formed the largest tabletop gaming convention in history, with over 60,000 unique (counted once all weekend) attendees and more than 200,000 turnstile (counted each day). It was an absolute, exhausting blast. I’m almost recovered from that and a trip I took to Sweden last week, so now …
Gen Con 50!
Gen Con starts tomorrow! This is my absolute favorite time of the year. I get to see old friends, make new ones, talk books, play games, and stay out all night – and these days, I even get to enjoy it with my wife and kids. This is the 50th year for the show – as well as my 36th …
Join Me at Gen Con for Worldbuilders
Gen Con is just around the corner, coming up on August 17—21, and I can’t wait! This is the 50th Gen Con, and they’re pulling out the stops for the big celebration. Four-day badges have already sold out, along with Saturday and Sunday badges. They’re predicting a complete sell-out, which will be the first time in the convention’s history. I’m …
Crafting Intangibles Starts Tonight
Today, my friend Christy Dena – who I met at last year’s Forward/Story conference, which she co-founded with Lance Weiler – is launching a new, online/Australian conference for narrative designers called Crafting Intangibles. I’m the lead-off speaker, starting at 7 PM Central Time tonight/10 AM tomorrow in Sydney. Christy’s lined up a slew of other incredible speakers, including luminaries like Chris …
