When I don’t update the blog here for a while, it’s because everything’s gone sideways, and I’m too busy to manage it. I just realized I haven’t written anything here since September, and that’s possibly a record since I launched this site back in 2003.
Much of that’s due to notable health issues in my family that I can’t discuss here. (Well, I could and maybe will at some time, but not quite yet.) But it’s also because of an overwhelming number of secret projects that I’ll be trumpeting from a mountaintop near you as soon as the time is right. Or at least from this blog. And Twitter and Facebook and all the usual suspects. Stay tuned.
One thing I’ve not announced here yet, though–and should have–is that I’ll be a guest of honor this weekend at What-Khan, down in Rockford, Illinois. It’s a brand-new gaming convention rising from the ashes of the classic show Rock-Con, which was held there for decades. Barring any disasters, I should be around on Saturday afternoon at least, playing D&D with my kids and enjoying the show. Stop by and join me if you can!
If you’re in Madison, Wisconsin, rather than Rockford, Illinois, you should also check out Gamehole Con, a great new show sponsored by many of the local gaming stores, including my pals at I’m Board! Games and Family Fun. They have a lot of great guests, including my pals Ed Greenwood, Doug Niles, Lester Smith, Frank Mentzer, Chris Perkins, Jolly Blackburn, Chris Clark, and Tom Lommel (the Dungeon Bastard).
I was hoping to get there myself on Friday, but I was called out of town until then. (I’m writing this from a hotel room in beautiful downtown Rochester, Minnesota.) Either way, it’s already on my schedule for next year.
tl;dr: More news soon. Play games this weekend!
