EndZone Magazine, a new Blood Bowl fan publication, just interviewed me about my Blood Bowl novels. You should see the results in an upcoming issue. In the meantime, stop by and download the magazine’s first issue, a free PDF, for a cheap shot of Blood Bowl goodness.
Last Call for Registering for National Games Week
The press release below says it all.
Preview Hero Lab
The team at Lone Wolf Development just posted a public preview to their new RPG character creation software, Hero Lab. I had the chance to check this program out in its alpha stage, and it showed tremendous promise even then. If you play RPGs, be sure to give it a look.
A Good Turnout
Yesterday, I got the kids to school and then reported in to the Democratic HQ here in Beloit. They sent me out on a lit drop, and I hit every house in the northern part of the Town of Beloit with door hangers that reminded people just where their polling place was.
Go Vote
I spent the day Saturday canvassing part of one of the wards here in Beloit with my eldest son, on behalf of the local Democratic Party. We had a wonderful time, despite the weather.

They give me a free copy of the game and then pay me to tell people what I think of it. This sounds like a sweet gig–until you remember how long it can take you …
Six-Word Halloween Story
Wired recently asked a bunch of writers to try to beat Hemingway at his own game: Come up with a good story only six words long. (His was: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) In the sprit of Halloween, here’s one from me: “Brains!” “Brains!” “Brains!” BLAM! BLAM! Click.
