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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
