December 15-19, Washington DC
I plan to attend my first WorldCon this month: DisCon III in Washington, DC. I’m just an attendee, but if you see me there, feel free to say hi.
I plan to attend my first WorldCon this month: DisCon III in Washington, DC. I’m just an attendee, but if you see me there, feel free to say hi.
Time for an update about what’s happening with me:
• FADING SUNS: The crowdfunding for the New Frontiers wave of products wrapped up in late August, but there will be a LATE PLEDGE opening soonish. I’ll post updates in all the usual places when that opens up. If you missed the initial campaign, definitely get on board here — there’s lots of good stuff. You can check them out here.
• THE APOCALYPTIC RECORD: Now on Kickstarter! This looks to be the final Werewolf 20th-Anniversary Edition sourcebook. I’ve got a few chapters in here (one of them with ol’ Albrecht), so if you’re a good garou (or even a bad one), consider pledging.
• BLACKBIRDS: Now on Kickstarter! This new RPG has a lot of talented people behind it, and I don’t mean me even though I wrote a few chapters, so check it out. This looks like a campaign you’ll kick yourself about for not pledging once the products start rolling out.
And finally…
• CAPCLAVE: I’ll be attending this classic sci-fi convention near Washington DC this coming weekend (Oct 1-3). I’m just an attendee, but if you’re there, say hi if you see me. Other Fading Suns/World of Darkness writers might drop by too.
Join me this Sunday at 1pm Pacific for a #FadingSuns panel as part of Ulisses Online Con. I’ll be talking with Jacqueline Bryk, William T. Thrasher, and James Maliszewski about Nobles and Priests and Merchants, oh my! https://ulisses-spiele.de/uoc_eng/
I’ll be at Gen Con this year (Thursday through Saturday night) with Ulisses Spiele! I don’t know my schedule yet, but I’ll try to remember to update this post when I do. I’ll most probably be at the Studio 2 booth repping Fading Suns 4th edition for Ulisses, but I’m not sure just yet. Stay tuned.
I’ve got my tentative Dragon Con panel schedule. Come say hi!
