So my name machine is fully assembled, the kinks are (mostly) worked out, and I’ve begun working in earnest again. Thanks to all who donated to make this happen: Anders Starmark Christopher Hallquist David Fico and Sarah Hale David Pulver Elizabeth McCoy Emily Smirle Jason “PK” Levine Jeromy French [redacted at request of the doner] […]

Carpe Blogiem: Author, Patreon, and Blog Highlights – July 2019
Authorial Highlights GURPS SNO-51 is not only out of the freezer it has been submitted. It’s out of my hands for now. The work on Calypso-4 aka “Five Four Perilous Journeys” continues. I really love the artwork Doug has gotten for it. The work on Adventure #4 continues and hopefully we’ll be done with that by […]

Ahhh, where to begin? This was my first solo work. I’d previously written GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 19: Incantation Magic with Antoni Ten Monrós and Dungeon Fantasy Traps with Jason “PK” Levine. Of course, one could say my numerous Pyramid articles were “solo” as well – but there is a difference of length that really makes them […]

At long last, my new GURPS book is out! Go grab it from w23 and please please rate it, share it on social media, or talk about it on the forums (or Discord)

Native American Crusaders was a topic I wanted to cover for GURPS Monster Hunters for a long time. I’m of native descent and got to take things I’d been told about in my childhood (the raven mocker being one) and turn that into GURPS statblocks. That’s pretty heavy stuff. I grew up on the stories of my […]

My last article. The last article I would write for Pyramid . . . was not written completely by myself. I co-write it with Hal “Wavefunction” Batty. In actuality, I had written the chevalier as standalone article with lots of mount choices, new gear, and more power-ups that were not in the final draft then I […]

Yo, dawg, I heard you liked blogging. So I put a blog about a blog on your blog. So, you want to start a blog, becom e rich and famous, design games for the stars . . . well, the first one is possible and the latter are . . . improbable. Let’s face it. […]

Authorial Highlights GURPS SNO-51 has been fully revised and sits in the “freezer” for now. (The “freezer” is where I put all my “finished” drafts until I do a final triple-check before submission). The Calypso-4 Kickstarter “Five Four Perilous Journeys” did an insane $40,000. Adventure #3 is with Douglas and J. Edward Tremlett is […]

Authorial Highlights I ended up asking for (another) extension for GURPS SNO-51. This was done because I wasn’t entirely sure my editing/revision would be finished in the time I’d been allotted. Currently, my editing mark is at 64%. I still need two more examples for the appendix, but I’ve been saving that for last […]

This one was fun to write. I want to just get that out of the way. Not all articles are fun to write – many of them (for me) are Dungeon Fantasy since I get to crank up the silliness a bit. This was fun for a different reason – because it was GURPS Technomancer. […]
