ICv2.com posted an article today about Palladium Books and how it’s working to overcome its “Crisis of Treachery.”

Gen Con has posted a page with the “Industry Insider Guests of Honor,” among which I apparently rank. Just scroll on down past James Ernest’s shining face to spot my entry. I’ll be helping out with some seminars at the show, although the schedule for those hasn’t been set yet. I’ll be sure to post here when I know more.

As I mentioned a few weeks back, Palladium Books is in trouble due to some insider swindling on the part of one of its employees. At the time, Kevin Siembieda asked people to help out by purchasing an exclusive print entitled “Megaverse United.” I slapped down my virtual cash right away, and my autographed print showed up yesterday, #296 in …

It’s inevitable that people who work for a game company sometimes leave. Maybe they got laid off, maybe they left on their own.

Fantasy Flight is having a Memorial Day weekend sale on its website. Among the roleplaying game books available for only $5 each is Dragonstar: Guide to the Galaxy, of which I wrote a good-sized chunk.

Some sharp-eyed readers may have noticed the site morphing around into different shapes at a moment’s notice as I played with the layout. Last night, I showed my wife a few new templates I was considering, and she said she liked what I already had here. Heeding her advice, I decided to just tweak things around a bit. I changed …

Today I bought the first Windows machine I’ve ever owned. I’ve used Windows machines a lot. At Human Head, I had a Windows laptop, and at Pinnacle, we had a dozen or so Windows computers, so technically I owned part of those. This one, though, is the first that I’ve paid money for and brought into my house. Don’t get …

Protospeil’s front page now lists me as the guest of honor for this year’s convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I’ve never been to this show before, but it sounds like a blast. It’s the only American convention I know of that’s dedicated to gathering aspiring board game designers, which seems like a great way for people to test ideas and …

Michael P. Bledsoe passed away on May 4 at the age of 50. He hadn’t been involved professionally in the gaming industry for some time, but back in the ’80s he designed the Dr. Who Roleplaying Game and the second edition of the original Star Trek Roleplaying Game for FASA. According to his obituary, he was buried near Biloxi, Mississippi, …
