When I last left off talking about the Brave New World Roleplaying Game, I’d gotten to the destruction of the city of Chicago by the Devastator in 1976 during an event known as the Bicentennial Battle. It’s finally time to reveal what really happened on that terrible day.

More GTS Stuff
A couple other things happened at GTS that weren’t meant for the Human Head update, as they involve my freelancing.

GTS Seminars
I’m going to the GAMA Trade Show next week primarily to push games for Human Head Studios. However, the fine people at GAMA shanghaied me into helping out with a few seminars too. If you’d like to see me wing my way through a conversation or two, stop in and say hi.
Mike Stackpole and I hope to handle the “Negotiating Contracts for Writers” seminar. Although I’m going to miss the Monday session, I’ll be there Tuesday and Wednesday.
Steve Kenson, Aaron Rosenberg, and I run the “Freelance to Salary and Back” seminar. I should be there for all three sessions, although the Monday one might be missed if my flight is delayed.
Today Anthony Gallela called me to ask if I could step in for a missing host for the “Seven Habits of Effective Freelancers” seminar, and doped up on cold medicine I said yes. I’ll be shaking my head at both sessions.
If you have any interest at all in these, stop by. If no one else shows, we’ll go grab a beer and talk shop instead.
Weekless Update
I’ll be in Las Vegas next week for the GAMA Trade Show. If you’ll be there too, stop by the Human Head Studios booth and say hi!
Since I’m not sure about my internet access from the show, I’m not planning an update for next week. When I get back, though, you can expect to hear all about it.
Alphas to Omegas
If you’ve been following along with my Brave New World exposé, you may already have your own guesses as to what the rest of the secrets are. Despite that, I’m going to continue on with my effort to fill in all those missing parts of the puzzle.

Going to Vegas
This week is the mad rush of preparations for the GAMA Trade Show held next week at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas. I’ll be in the Human Head booth most of the time, when I’m not helping out with a seminar or three. If you’ll be there, stop by the booth, and I’ll tell you all about Human Head’s plans for Dracula’s Revenge, Age of Conquest, and our upcoming roleplaying game too.
Authority Delayed
Jesse Scoble of Guardians of Order tells me that the April release date of The Authority Role-Playing Game didn’t account for delays in licensing approvals. The game should hit shelves by June at the latest. We can hope for earlier, but June seems like the safest bet at the moment.
Still, Guardians should have some sample pages from the game to show off at the GAMA Trade Show. Plus, there’s a preview of the book in the March issue of Game Trade Magazine.
To Be As Gods
This is “Part Two” of my ongoing exploration of all the things that never got said in while my Brave New World roleplaying game was in print.

Neverland Reformatted
Some of you seem to be enjoying my Neverland game for children, which you can find in the Downloads section. Jo Ann Montgomery tells me she likes it, but she wanted it in a smaller format than the PDF. She kindly took it upon herself to convert the file into text and reformat it. I’ve posted the RTF (Rich Text Format) file in the Downloads section, under the original PDF link. Thanks, Jo Ann!
