About Forward/Story (a.k.a. How I Spent My Costa Rica Vacation)

I’ve had one hell of a great summer. I just spent four weeks on the road, including Comic-Con, a week at our family cabin, Gen Con (my favorite professional event of the year) and Forbeck-O-Rama (a family reunion, my favorite personal event of the year). Soon the kids will be back in school, and we’ll all settle back into that post-summer groove, but before that …

My Gen Con 2016 Schedule

There’s one show I never miss: Gen Con. It’s the largest tabletop gaming convention in the world, and it just gets better every year. I absolutely love the show and the people who run it, from my wonderful pals Peter Adkison and Adrian Swartout all the way down to the newest volunteers. If you enjoy games, there is no better …

My Comic-Con 2016 Schedule

DK is bringing me out to Comic-Con again this year, to sign copies of my Captain America book. I always have a wonderful time at this massive show. For the signings in the DK booth, I understand they’ll have free Captain America posters to hand out, but I’m always happy to sign anything I’ve worked on as well. I’ll also …

Join Me at Nexus Game Fair!

This weekend, I’ll be a special guest at Nexus Game Fair at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In many ways this is a return to my old stomping grounds, since that’s the same hotel I stayed at for many years back in the days when Gen Con was in Milwaukee. This makes four weekends in a row that I’ve been …

You need to register with Gen Con to even be able to read that page, though, so let me copy and paste the high points for you below. See the …

Join Me in Wisconsin Rapids

Libraries rock. I spent a lot of my childhood in my local library, and I’m a big believer in supporting the kind of work they do to educate, serve, and unite our communities. I support them whenever I can. Case in point, I’m going to be speaking at the McMillan Library in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, from 7 PM to 8:15 PM. …

Join Me at Gary Con

For those who don’t know, Gary Con is a wonderful tabletop games convention held in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, by the kids of Gary Gygax in honor of their father. Gary Con Zero was held at the wake after Gary’s funeral, and it wound up being such an excellent and fun remembrance of the man that Gary’s kids have continued the …
