I’ve had a crazy busy time since Gen Con. I just turned in my first draft of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Drawing Manga, Illustrated: Fantasy Creatures, which my pals at IDW commissioned from me under a tight (read: insane) deadline. As the sequel to The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Drawing Manga, Illustrated, it’s been a fun book to work …
Wheaton Interview in Latest GQM
My interview with Wil Wheaton appears in the latest issue of Games Quarterly Magazine. They had copies to hand out at Gen Con, and I found more waiting for me when I got home, so it should be in stores soon. Wil is a true gamer and a wonderful guy as well–as you’ll see when you read the article.
Comic-Con, Day 3 and Out
The final installment in the saga of my Comic-Con adventure. (I know, I just got back from Gen Con, and I haven’t written much about that yet. I have to finish this last bit first.)

Faery’s Tale Map and Adventure
If you find yourself getting lost wandering around Gen Con, that’s probably because you didn’t stop by the Firefly Games site to pick up their faery’s map of the exhibit hall. They should also have copies of the intro pack I worked on for their new Faery’s Tale family storytelling game.

This is the great-grandaddy of gaming conventions, and for me it’s always like a combination of summer camp and Christmas in August.
