My Latest Project: War of Reaving

My Latest Project: War of Reaving

As many have surmised by now, I’m hip-deep into my latest Catalyst project, the War of Reaving Sourcebook. It’s been several years in coming and I’m quite thrilled Herb and Randall (and CGL) have given me the entire kit-n-kaboodle to write.

For the Love of the Game

As you may or may not be aware, GenCon 2010 was this past weekend. (No, I didn’t attend.) Normally I wouldn’t really talk about it here, since I didn’t go, there’s not really any news from me that didn’t get gleaned from the panels there, and I’m pretty sure no one cares from my end. …

I did it partially because I outlined the …

And My Comment Is…

And My Comment Is…

No comment. Okay, well maybe a small one. (Don’t know what I’m talking about? Some background here – this is my primary freelance client, of which I am an assistant line developer for one of their game licenses.) Regarding the actual events, I won’t comment. The official press release from Randall pretty much says it …
