War of Reaving – Now With More Reaving
So after some heavy work on the upcoming sourcebook, I found I needed more pages. I asked and was granted permission to inflate this project to a whopping 240 pages. Revised TOC below.
To the 2010-11 Pittsburgh Penguins: THANK YOU
Well, the end of the 2010-11 season for the Pittsburgh Penguins is officially over. After a very tight game last night, they lost the series to Tampa. It was one of the best games in the series; the Pens just couldn’t find the net behind Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson. As I wound out last night …
Memories of the Civic (Mellon) Arena
[This was originally a guest post at pittsburghpenguinsblog.net in October 2009 before the season began, but had disappeared a while back and I’d never grabbed it. I happened to find it today during my lunch break and am reposting it here before it disappears again. I’d wanted to post it originally back at the end …
Gamers’ Most Wanted
Quick update of sorts, since I’m absolutely slagged on time: The title above is actually a reference to a book I’m currently finishing co-writing with Fear the Boot‘s Chris Hussey (also a newbie BattleTech writer). It’s a book for Potomac Press that will see publication in November this year June/July of next year (in time …
2011 Winter Classic (Cross It Off the Bucket List!)
The end of 2010 has been hectic (to say the least); fortunately, the tail of the holiday season left me and my beautiful wife on the cusp of attending the 2011 Winter Classic at Heinz Field in our previous hometown of Pittsburgh. And if you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a diehard Penguins …
Where Am I?
“Dude, it’s been four months since you last posted. What’s up with you?” Sorry about that. I’ve got some stuff slated to post over the next few weeks, but in general, I’ve been busy: Writing two book manuscripts, both due mid-Feb 2011; one book printing in July 2011, the other in November 2011 Been to …
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. …
Silence is Golden, Duct Tape is Silver
Thanks. I hope you few in the minority are happy now that you’ve gotten your way. Enjoy the silence.
Image of the Moment
Red Tail Hawk in flight, taken during our recent trip to Tennessee/North Carolina. This shot was a total accident as I hadn’t changed my settings…but I like the end result, as it has the look of a painting. Just thought I’d share.
Jihad – the Experiment
NOTE to all US Government cyberpolice – this is about a game, not current events. Thanks for playing! So anyway. Over the last 10 days I helped our intrepid BattleTech Line Developer crash-edit several of the chapters for the upcoming Jihad Hot Spots: Terra universe plot book. I did it partially because I outlined the …
