Multiple Attack Update

Hi folks,
I’ve been pretty sick for about a month off and on due to strep. That’s why this blog’s been silent. What’s going on?
Aeternal Legends: It’s available in print and PDF, still. Stew and I are slowly talking about some cool stuff to come, but we’re both pretty busy. Why don’t you buy that sonofabitch?

Phantasm: My Local RPG Con

Phantasm is my local convention. It’s a great get together: a small convention in one room, focused on roleplaying games. There are other games there, but RPGs, rather than being the sideshow, are the main dish. I’m not a big fan of game conventions, but I’ve warmed up to them mostly because I get to [...]

Fan Expo – Whew!

Fan Expo this past weekend was a blast even though I didn’t get to do much gaming. I got to chat with Jonathan Lavallee, Peiter van Hiel, Jess Hartley, Adam Jury and former RPG guy turned Ganz developer Jesse Scoble, all thanks to the tireless efforts of Justin “The Bitter Guy” Mohareb.Oh — and Chris [...]

What I Did At Gencon – and What I’m Doing at Fan Expo!

Actually, I didn’t go to Gencon! I did on the other hand have some presence there through my work.
Geist: The Sin-Eaters

Aeternal Legends: FREE (and Cheap in Print!) over Gen Con!

Sometimes the chaos of real life mutes a small press RPG release. This was the case in August 2007 when we completed Æternal Legends, Stew Wilson’s modern fantasy RPG. We were both pretty damn busy with life and other projects, so we  didn’t have a chance to boost it as much as we wanted. Now, [...]

Convention Schedule

I won’t be manning a table but I will be attending and gaming at the following conventions later this summer:
August 28-30: Fan Expo, Toronto Convention Centre
I’ll be on several panels. We’re also planning something a bit different from the usual panel format . . . more on that as it gets settled.
September 26-27: Phantasm, Peterborough [...]

Phantasm

I went to my local, *local* (in my small hometown) gaming con, Phatasm this past weekend. My participation was pretty casual; I ran a demo of Ready 2 Run for a small group, chatted with various people from the local community and drank some beer with a houseguest and assorted friends.
The R2R demo was pretty [...]
