I’m leaving for Gen Con on Wednesday and will be there through Sunday. If you’ll be there too, be sure to track me down if you can. Bring whatever you like to any of my signings or other scheduled appearances. I’ll be thrilled to deface it with any nearby writing implement. Or just say hi. One of the best things …
Gen Con Schedule
I’ll be at Gen Con Indy next week, from Wednesday through Sunday. I’m not tied to a single booth this year, but I do have some appearances scheduled. Here’s where and when you should be able to track me down: Wednesday, 9 PM: The Diana Jones Award ceremony, held at a secret location. (If you’re a professional in the adventure …
Wizard World Chicago Report
I had a great time at Wizard World Chicago this past weekend, even though I was only there for less than six hours on Saturday. I didn’t have a booth and wasn’t scheduled to do any signings, so I just floated through the place, saw the people I wanted to see, bought a passel of comics, and left. Of course, …
Calling all GW Artists
It seems the powers that be at Games Workshop have decided to return hundreds if not thousands of pieces of original artwork back to the artists who created them. Unfortunately, they’ve lost touch with lots of these folks. If you know any of them, please pass this on to them as soon as possible. I’ve included the entire post, plus …

No Origins for Me
I regret to report that I won’t be able to make it to Origins this year. I have too many deadlines over my head to justify taking off the better part of a week or more to go to Columbus, Ohio, no matter how fantastic it would be. This is also why I’ve been quiet here lately. Too many things …
Join the Industry
Sometimes people ask about hiring me on full-time someplace. I’m always flattered by this and willing to talk about it. I’m picky, though, and it would take a lot for me to give up freelancing and leave my hometown behind. I have an incredible support structure here, and I couldn’t buy the kind of help I get from friends and …

Dave Sutherland Dies
I’m a few days late on this, but my good friend Jim Kitchen called me tonight about it. Dave Sutherland, one of the first artists hired at TSR, passed away on June 6, just over a week ago. You can read a solid obituary on GamingReport.com. I never met Dave, but I knew his work. Anyone who picked up the …
