I remember seeing this many moons back and then forgetting about it. Someone set up a LiveJournal feed for this site ages ago, linking it directly to my XML feed. If you have a LiveJournal account, you can “friend” my feed. (There’s something suggestive in that.) If you don’t, then just ignore it. If you get an LJ account later, …
Pen & Paper :: Fan Awards – 2004 Winners
I got a pleasant surprise after getting back from Gen Con. Pen & Paper announced its annual awards. While I didn’t win anything outright, The Authority Role-Playing Game was a runner-up for Best Licensed Product. Better yet, I stunningly came in as a runner-up for the Hall of Fame. This year’s inductees were Dave Arneson and Steve Jackson, and my …
Buy a Date with a Famous Game Designer
I just found out about Otherworld Excursions the other day. These are events in which famous game industry folk run their best roleplaying games for you in their hometown areas. The three GMs lined up so far are Ken Hite, Stefan Pokorny, and John Tynes, all of whom are reputed to be at the top of the craft. Since they’re …
Gen Con Imminent
I’m leaving for Gen Con on Wednesday and will be there through Sunday. If you’ll be there too, be sure to track me down if you can. Bring whatever you like to any of my signings or other scheduled appearances. I’ll be thrilled to deface it with any nearby writing implement. Or just say hi. One of the best things …
Gen Con Schedule
I’ll be at Gen Con Indy next week, from Wednesday through Sunday. I’m not tied to a single booth this year, but I do have some appearances scheduled. Here’s where and when you should be able to track me down: Wednesday, 9 PM: The Diana Jones Award ceremony, held at a secret location. (If you’re a professional in the adventure …
Wizard World Chicago Report
I had a great time at Wizard World Chicago this past weekend, even though I was only there for less than six hours on Saturday. I didn’t have a booth and wasn’t scheduled to do any signings, so I just floated through the place, saw the people I wanted to see, bought a passel of comics, and left. Of course, …
Calling all GW Artists
It seems the powers that be at Games Workshop have decided to return hundreds if not thousands of pieces of original artwork back to the artists who created them. Unfortunately, they’ve lost touch with lots of these folks. If you know any of them, please pass this on to them as soon as possible. I’ve included the entire post, plus …
Seven Cities at RPGNow.com
Atlas Games just released a PDF version of Seven Cities, a d20 sourcebook I wrote for them a while back. It features seven fantasy cities in the standard D&D sizes and uses an innovative telescoping technique to fit them all into a 128-page book. If you haven’t got a copy yet, you can pick up the electronic version through RPGNow.com …
Blood Bowl at the Summer Cons
As posted on the Black Library‘s site, I’ll be signing copies of Blood Bowl at two conventions coming up soon: Games Day Chicago (July 30) and Gen Con Indy (August 18—21). At Games Day, I’ll be wandering the hall and taking up time behind a stack of books at the sales table. At Gen Con, I’ll be in the Sabertooth …
No Origins for Me
I regret to report that I won’t be able to make it to Origins this year. I have too many deadlines over my head to justify taking off the better part of a week or more to go to Columbus, Ohio, no matter how fantastic it would be. This is also why I’ve been quiet here lately. Too many things …
