Earlier today, I sealed the deal for the mass-market game I mentioned earlier. This should be a great game and get in front of lots of people. Add that to the CCG I’m working on for another company, and it’s going to be a good year for games for me, despite the fact I spend most of my time laboring …
Comments, Please
One of the things about my WordPress setup is you don’t need to register to comment. Just click on the word “comments” beneath any entry and go. I’d like to hear more from you readers out there, just so I know I’m not typing for myself. This should make it a lot easier.
Back from LA, with Pit Stop in Hyboria
I just got back on Wednesday morning from a quick trip to Los Angeles. I can’t talk about the main reason for the trip quite yet, but it should be good for some mass-market game news sometime in the near future. While I was there, I had dinner with Fred, Thommy, and Jay from Conan Properties. We chatted about lots …
Frankenstein’s Children Coming Soon
My friends at Human Head Studios tell me that the Frankenstein’s Children is on its way to their warehouses from China as I write this. This was the last game I worked on for them, a sequel to last year’s Dracula’s Revenge. Both games plug together for all sorts of horror-gaming mayhem. Download the rules for free to whet your …
Origins Awards Nominations
I realized I forgot to mention that two books I worked on were nominated for Origins Awards this year. Secret of the Spiritkeeper garnered a nod for Best Fiction, and The Authority RPG got one for Best Roleplaying Game. If you’re a member of the Academy of Gaming Arts and Design (and everyone who does creative work in adventure gaming …
The New Site
Welcome to the new version of Forbeck.com. I’d been having troubles with my old site. When I upgraded to Movable Type 3.1, it didn’t go smoothly. I broke a few things with my customization. Then my brother-in-law told me he was getting out of the webhosting business, so it was time to find a new host. After some poking around, …
OddCon Weekend
I had a great time at Oddysey Convention (Odd Con) up in Madison, Wisconsin, this weekend. I haven’t been to too many pure SF/Fantasy conventions, but I enjoyed it.
Not Dead Yet
Wow. It’s been 30 days since I posted anything here. Let me catch you up a bit on what’s been going on. First, the GAMA Trade Show in Las Vegas was great. I ran the freelancers’ seminar track, and while we didn’t have too many people show up (it’s a retailer show, after all), those that did got as much …
Con Season Begins
I leave Sunday for the sunny climes of Las Vegas and the GAMA Trade Show, which usually keeps me indoors the entire time. I’m moderating the freelancers’ seminar track there and appearing on panels with Keith Baker, Ken Hite, Brian E. Lewis, and Aaron Rosenberg. If you’re in for the show, be sure to poke your nose in for a …
Sample Marked for Death
If all my caterwauling on this site has yet to convince you to race out to your local bookseller or game store and buy Marked for Death, here’s a taste of sugar to sweeten the deal. Wizards just posted a sample chapter here (right-click to save the zipped PDF). The chapters in the book are short, but this espresso-like dose …
