Wow, it’s been a long time since, I’ve updated this blog. Part of that’s because it seems to be a lot easier to reach out to people via social media these days, and the other part is that I’ve been a wee bit overwhelmed with life and work. At this point, I’m just happy to see the website still works.
I just updated the front page of the website to show the three books I have coming out this year. That’s not including the novel I already had come out back in March: Minecraft Legends: Rise of the Piglins.
That’s an official novel to go along with the new video game Minecraft Legends, which debuted in April. I had a great time working on it with the same team I wrote Minecraft Dungeons: The Rise of the Arch-Illager.
Next up is The Game Master’s Book of Astonishing Random Tables, which is due out June 20. The bulk of the book is written by Ben Egloff, but the fine folks at Topix Media Lab asked me if I’d like to contribute a one-shot adventure for it. It’s called “Never Tell Me the Odds,” and I wrote it along with two of my sons: Marty and Nicholas. Working with them was great fun, and you’ll be seeing more coming from them in the future, especially Marty, who is working with me on many other projects.
After that, we have the big release for the year: the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game Core Rulebook. This has been a massive project but also loads of fun. Marvel is publishing it themselves, and I’ve had a wonderful time working with my team there, especially CJ Cervantes, Brian Overton, and Amir Osman. Marty also helped out a tremendous amount by writing countless character profiles with me for both heroes and villains. (There are over 100 in the book.)
The book is due out August 2, which is (not coincidentally) the day before Gen Con (the world’s biggest tabletop games convention). I’ll be at the show, doing panels and running games, so if you can make it, be sure to grab a copy. I’d be delighted to sign it.
Last — but not least — is the first adventure book for the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: The Cataclysm of Kang. I was originally slated to write this whole thing myself, but we spent so much time making sure that the Core Rulebook was in great shape that we decided to bring in some help. Beside Marty, I mean, who’s tackling the profiles for this book too. Those writers include B. Dave Walters, Elisa Teague, Jesse Scoble, and Devinder Thiara, every one of them seasoned pros who bring incredible new angles to the chapters they tackled.
Whew! Maybe that actually does help explain why it’s been so long since I’ve updated this site.
I already mentioned Gen Con, but here’s the whole list of shows where you can find me for the rest of the year:
- Comic-Con International (July 20–23)
- Gen Con (August 3–6)
- New York Comic Con (October 12–15)
- Gamehole Con (October 20–23)
If you can make it to any of them, be sure to say hi. Maybe we can even squeeze in a game!
