Gen Con SoCal


11.20.05
The family and I went to Gen Con SoCal this weekend. It was a great deal of fun. I decided early on that it would be my convention to relax a little bit. I was only there for two out of the four (er, three) days that the convention ran.

Star and Shadow for Midnight appears to be out, and Silverthorne Games is gearing up to release Template Troves III between now and December. Hot diggity. I can't wait to get my hands on both of those products.

For more details, as usual, please refer to my web log, Neuro-Suction.

Thanks much to the players who showed up for the Thieves' World games I ran this weekend: Jay, Jennifer, Scott, Ruth, Ben, Michael, Robert, Jim, Suzie, Mark, Paul, and Bill. You guys were great. Thanks for playing. Also, thanks to my own players who helped me to test the adventure out mere days before it went live: Adam, Alex, Alan, Mike, Daniel, and Amy.

Cheers!

The Rat is Out of the Bag


It's odd, perhaps, that I haven't posted an update here since I returned from Indianapolis. Let's just say that I've been very, very busy. Prior to yesterday, I could only offer vague hints of what I was working on. As it turns out, Black Industries has posted a news item revealing many of next year's releases for the Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing Game.

Two products on this release schedule will bear my name: Children of the Horned Rat, a supplement detailing the Skaven, and Terror in Talabheim, an adventure/city sourcebook. Both books are due out in the summer of 2006.

I've also been writing for Fantasy Flight Games, contributing to the forthcoming Star and Shadow and Hammer and Shadow supplements (due out in November and December, respectively).

So, you can see: busy, busy.

We should be seeing a couple of other releases fairly soon. Specifically, the Future Players' Companion, Volume III from The Game Mechanics, as well as Template Troves III from Silverthorne Games. I'll be sure to post an announcement when they hit the virtual shelves.

Speaking of the Future Player's Companion, the first two volumes are doing very well over at RPG Now. There are a lot of very kind reviews posted on their individual product pages.

What does the future hold? Well, I'm not sure. I may take November off from writing (but then again, I probably won't). Gen Con SoCal is in a couple of weeks, and I'll be running a couple of Thieves' World games for Green Ronin. I post a lot more of my life's minor details on my web log, Neuro-Suction, for those of you who are interested.

Off to work. The day job, that is. See you all back here in less than two months! I promise!

Bests,
