Geekerati Radio This Monday Night!
The fine folks at Geekerati Radio (the podcast linked with Christian Lindke’s pop culture blog Cinerati) apparently didn’t learn their lesson when they interviewed me last year. They’ve asked me to appear on their show once more! Tune in on Monday night, August 25, at 7 PM Pacific Time (9 PM Central for me), listen live, and call in with …
Kobold Quarterly Interview & Kovalic
Jeremy Jones, who sometimes comments around here, recently interviewed me for Kobold Quarterly, the magazine published by fellow Alliterate and all-round good guy Wolfgang Baur. For me, the highlight of the interview is the all-too-kind quote my pal John Kovalic gave Jeremy for the article. Go ahead and read it, wipe your eyes at the raw emotion, and then come …
Vacation Unplugged
My latest post for Storytellers Unplugged is up. This month, I talk about the vacation I took between Comic-Con and Gen Con, as well as what it’s like to try to leave the office behind. I’m never very successful at it, sadly, but that’s just fine. Here’s a shot of my office for about 10 days of that time. It …
The ENnies
On Friday night at Gen Con, I took home less than 1% of a silver ENnie for the small part I played in Hobby Games: The 100 Best. Still, I’m proud that people recognized what a great book it is, as well as what a great job my friend Jim Lowder did in pulling it together. Congratulations to all my …
N. Robin Crosby RIP
A couple of different people let me know that N. Robin Crosby, creator of Hârn, died on July 23. The note from his former publishing partner Tom Dagliesh appears below. I never knew Robin, but I appreciated his work. Hârn was one of the first attempts at creating a non-traditional fantasy world for gaming, and it won many fans over …
Wizards Refocuses
In the last week or two, Wizards has made it clear that they wish to refocus their efforts on just Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering. First, they cut a number of novels, including their entire Discoveries line. Then they announced that Gleemax will end in September. Now, they’ve put out a press release that states it clearly, at …
Of Dice and Pen
* If you poke around this site, you might find that you can still download “Prometheus Unwound” for free. However, this is your best chance to see it in print since it first appeared in The Book of All Flesh from Eden Studios.
For me, it’s cool to be in a book alongside so many other cool writers. It’s especially poignant that one of the stories is Gary Gygax’s last tale of Gord the Rogue.
Storytellers Tale
My latest essay is up at Storytellers Unplugged. When you click over to read it, be sure to check out the website’s snazzy and modern new look too. This time around, I comment a bit more about the cancelation of my next novel from Wizards of the Coast. Now that it’s a few days later, I can honestly say I’m …
Vote for HG100 for the ENnies
Hobby Games: The 100 Best is up for an ENnie Award for Best Regalia (a “product used to complement role playing game play”). My pal Jim Lowder edited this book of 100 essays written by many of the best designers about the many of the best games, and my friends at Green Ronin published it. I have a single essay …
