GamingReport.com has a review of Marvel Heroes Battle Dice. The reviewer glosses over the depth of play that the various powers and dice rules give the game, but I’ll take the free publicity.
Site Upgraded
This weekend, I finally got around to updating the site’s software to WordPress 2.02. At the same time, I added some cool bits to the comments. Now, the site can automatically e-mail you a notification whenever someone comments on a particular post. You can even subscribe to a post without commenting first.

Gen Con Indy Keeps Me Guesting
The fine folks at Gen Con Indy have asked me to be a guest of honor once again at this year’s show. This will be my third year in a row to be so honored. Best of all, it’ll be my 25th summertime Gen Con in a row. Back when I was a kid, my father would pack me and …
Day of the Daemon Approaches
I’m on the comp list for the Black Library, which means they regularly send me boxes of their new books. This week, I got a couple cool surprises.

GAMA Seminar Notes
Since a few people have asked about the seminars I held at this year’s GAMA Trade Show, I’ve posted the notes from them in my Downloads section. “Seven Habits of Effective Freelancers” is for beginning freelancers, while “Advanced Freelancing” is just what it says. They’re incomplete, of course, since they’re just my speaking notes. I used these for the first …

Concinnity Indeed
I had a great time at Concinnity this weekend. My hosts treated me like royalty, and the attendees who showed up to my panels were clever and interesting and asked good questions. On Saturday, I sat on a panel with James Lowder and E.E. Knight. Jim and Eric made everything easy and pleasant, and afterward I grabbed dinner with Jim …
