On Tuesday, I took part in the Ask Outcast podcast, hosted by James Jones. We chatted about all sorts of things, ranging from games to novels to Star Wars vs. Star Trek and back. The whole thing lasted nearly an hour. If you missed the live version of it, you can now sit down and watch me babble on with …
Good-Bye, Martin Greenberg
Yesterday I learned that Martin H. Greenberg passed away. He was one of the great anthologists of SF and fantasy, and I cannot tell you how many of his collections I’ve read over the years. As a boy, I discovered him from his work with Isaac Asimov, and I always marveled at how often his name cropped up since then …
Deadlands Fiction Is Back
Over at Pinnacle, they’re reissuing the Deadlands Dime Novels, a combination of a short story and an adventure for the Deadlands roleplaying game, in PDF format. I wrote a bunch of these back in the day, including Independence Day, Strange Bedfellows, Savage Passage, and Ground Zero. If you’re not a gamer and would just like to read the fiction, Pinnacle’s set …
Danforth on eBay
My son Marty is still posting more things on eBay. This week, he has a couple of gems from the collection of Liz Danforth. These include the rulebook from the Champions 2nd Edition boxed set and the extremely rare City of Carse from Midkemia Press, a generic fantasy sourcebook published in 1980. The current bid is 99¢, but these often …
Doomtown Prints on eBay
My son Marty’s putting up more of my old stuff on eBay now that school’s out. He just stumbled across a pair of art prints I’d forgotten I had. Paul (Prof) Herbert created this artwork for the Doomtown CCG back when I was still the president of Pinnacle. The first one features Eureka the dog holding a zombie arm with a …
eBay Burst
With school out, my son Marty is listed a bunch more things from the games collection in my attic on eBay. We also have a few things left from the collection of Liz Danforth up there now. If you’re looking for old, good games cheap, be sure to check out our listings. He’ll be adding to them regularly over the …

Insightful Interview and Bond Podcast
You can tell when I’m busy because I don’t post around here nearly as often as I’d like. Things like Twitter and Facebook make it easy for me to toss out quick updates or observations with far less effort, so I tend to rely on those rather than writing bits for here–or for GeekDad or Tor.com, both of which are …
Free Angry Robot Song Remix Album
Earlier this year, John Anealio asked me to help him out with some verses for the “Angry Robot” song he’d written as a theme song for the Angry Robot podcasts that Mur Lafferty hosts for Angry Robot, the publisher of my original novels. He posted it on his website for free downloads, and people seemed to like it. That included the …
Tie-Ins in the Onion
Rob Weiland interviewed me and a few other writers for an article on Wisconsin tie-in novelists recently, and today it appears in The Onion‘s A.V. Club. As a huge fan of The Onion and the A.V. Club for many years, it’s a real thrill to see my name up there with my friends Rob King, Steve Sullivan, Margaret Weis, and …
