Deconstructing Campaigns
Would we make the GenCon print date? A look at my final project in the Battletech line.
What Was Before Is Not What Was to Come
I was cleaning through some of my older project files and stumbled over my Wars of Reaving material. It’s been four years since the Origins Award-winning book was published, and running through the depth of material I’d compiled over several years was nostalgic, in a way.
Enter the Dragon (Almost)
Whew. Almost there.
The Supremacy Rises
So after a decently long hiatus, I’ve restarted work on IlClan.
Games Most Wanted (In More Ways Than One)
This past Monday, a dream finally saw fruition: I saw my first non-fiction book on a shelf at Barnes & Noble. Games’ Most Wanted has finally made it into the public eye. Granted, it’s not the first time I’ve seen one of my books on a store shelf; I’ve seen, on several occasions, many of …

IlClan and Beyond
Work began this weekend on a new BattleTech sourcebook, IlClan. I decided to step in to wrangle the project (not write, however) into shape for a couple of reasons. This book truly sets up the “unknown future” of the universe. Considering I’m looking farther ahead to writing/managing several books dealing with the line’s progression over …
Closing the Dragon’s Door
Well, you’d think this would be another update…and you would be correct. Except that it isn’t anymore. Despite my (paltry) efforts in trying to sneak open looks into the forthcoming HBHK, interest in this book has never really taken off aside from a relative few Kurita fans. Which, in all honesty, isn’t that surprising. The …
