Last night, I wrote “THE END” on the final page of Dangerous Games: How to Win, the third and final book in the trilogy. I just created a PDF of the first draft and sent it out to all the backers at the $100+ level. If you’re one of those kind souls, be sure to check your email for that. …
The Next Big Thing Blog Tour
My friend Alex Bledsoe tapped me to be one of his minions join in the Next Big Thing blog tour. It’s kind of like a chain-mail letter – the things we used before emails and Facebook by people who don’t read Snopes.com – but instead of wasting postage it infects the blogs of authors around the net. Since it’s really …
Dangerous Games Book 1 Is Done!
I just wrote “The End” on the first book in the Dangerous Games trilogy, killing off my NaNoWriMo goal of 50,000 words in a total of 16 days. On this, the final day, I cracked 5,600 words for a grand total of 52,252 in the book. That’s not as fast as I was hoping for, but I’m still pushing to get …
The Gamers Film Kickstarter Rolls On
As I mentioned last month, my pals over at Zombie Orpheus and Dead Gentlemen launched a Kickstarter for The Gamers: Hands of Fate, the third in their hilarious series of The Gamers movies. As a part of that, we’re integrating Hands of Fate and my upcoming Dangerous Games trilogy of novels together. There’s this character – Leo, who appeared in the second film – that wanders in and out …
The Gamers Play Dangerous Games
My friends at Zombie Orpheus and Dead Gentlemen just launched a spanking-new Kickstarter for The Gamers: Hands of Fate, the third installment in their series of The Gamers films, excellent comedies about – you guessed it – gamers. I’ve long been a huge fan of The Gamers and The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, and I’ve known the people involved with them for many years, so I’ve …
Kickstarter Kicked
Back at the end of May, I wrote a long post about how the first two 12 for ’12 Kickstarters had gone. (Go back and read that first if you haven’t already.) The third one ended June 17, and it was another wild and yet very different ride. I’m still digesting a lot of the information, but here are my …
Dangerous Games Is Done!
The Dangerous Games Kickstarter came to a thunderous end tonight, and I’m still sitting here stunned. This morning, we had $15,298 and 349 backers, and I was thrilled with that. After all, we’d already beaten the records of both previous Kickstarters in the 12 for ’12 series on both counts, right? My only hope was that we’d reach $16,000 so I could have a …
Third Dangerous Games Stretch Goal Unlocked!
Just a little while ago, the Dangerous Games Kickstarter breached the $16,000 mark, which crashed through our third stretch goal! That means I’ll be producing a Gen Con-related playset for Fiasco! That will go out free to all backers first before being released to the public. Woot! We already broke the first two stretch goals, of course, which means that those who back at the …
Last Day for Dangerous Games!
The Dangerous Games Kickstarter ends in just under 24 hours, at midnight Eastern Time on Father’s Day, June 17. It has been a smashing success so far, and I want to thank each and every one of my backers for all that they’ve done, both financially (pledges), morally (encouragement), and socially (getting the word out). Together, we smashed the 12 for ’12 records …
New Dangerous Games Stretch Goal!
All right, I give up. I just can’t stop thinking about new stretch goals for the Dangerous Games Kickstarter. I finally figured out one that I thought would be both cool and fun. At $16k, I’ll produce a Dangerous Games playset for Fiasco! For those that don’t know, Fiasco is Jason Morningstar’s excellent tabletop storytelling game of people with “powerful ambition and poor impulse control.” It’s …
