This past Sunday, I was named RPG Geek of the Week over at RPG Geek. I’m flattered all to hell, of course, and I’ve been taking care of my duties over at the RPG Geek forums. These consist entirely of answering the barrage of questions the fine folks over there have been flinging at me all week. If you’d care …

IDW recently released this image of the card that will accompany the first issue of the Magic: The Gathering comic I wrote for them. Like all the cards for the series, it’s an older card with gorgeous new art, which makes it collectible and fun but not something anyone should feel forced to buy so they can use it in their …

Over at Kobold Quartlery, to celebrate the release of the Kobold Guide to Board Game Design, they’ve asked a number of the contributors, “What’s the first board game you fell in love with?” I gave them an answer, and they posted it this week. Hint: It’s Dungeon, but hustle on over there to see why. While you’re at it, check …

My pal Ed Healy has spent the last several weeks wandering the country and visiting game stores, helping promote games. Along the way, he’s filmed all sorts of people telling stories about games and what they mean to them. For a heartwarming example, check out blind game store owner Phil Glotfelty’s account of meeting a customer who was deaf. Lester …

I may be at the show Friday or Sunday, but I’ll be there for …

It’s been a crazy few weeks since Gen Con as I scramble to catch up with deadlines and help Ann get the kids ready for school. During that time, I’ve written the first issue of an ongoing comic (details coming soon), polished off the first draft of the second Dust novel, and helped out with the Marvel tabletop RPG development …

Every now and then at SFSignal.com, they gather together a group of authors and ask them a question. This time around, they drew my name from the hat, and the question of the day is: “If you could reboot a book series, which one would it be?” Scroll all the way down to the bottom to read my heretical answer.

Cyril Pasteau gives Amortals an excellent review over at his website. Among other things, he says: “Amortals is a very enjoyable summer read. It is packed with action and reads like a Hollywood blockbuster script.” That’s just the sort of feedback I like.

My longtime gaming industry pal Gareth-Michael Skarka recently put up a tabletop roleplaying game project on Kickstarter called Far West. This is an idea that I’ve watched him kick around for years, and I was thrilled to see him return to it with a renewed sense of purpose. The Kickstarter campaign went so well that it got funded in record …

The sales drive for Carpathia, my next original novel from Angry Robot, is gearing up. This Titanic-themed horror novel will be out in time for the 100th anniversary of the tragic loss of the “unsinkable” ship, which means we’ve less than eight months to go. Part of getting that marketing machine in motion involves the release of the cover, which …
