A is Also for Award

April 11, 2011 /

You know, I can't seem to get away from the first letter of the alphabet.

Work on correcting the Arcanist continues. I am getting bogged down in formatting at the moment. A bit of my technical writing past has come up as I am generating Autotext for all the components of an RPG book. as gives you an arcanist spell, ws a wizard's spell, tbl a 2-20 table, etc.

Aside from that, I wanted to thank a commenter for giving me an award:

Thanks to Deidra Coppel for the encouragement.

You may want to read her rationale for magic in fantasy stories. It reminded me of a similar goal that I have to avoid the utter depravity common in a lot of rpg settings.

You may also enjoy the A to Z interviews with authors. Since some letters garner more than one interview, here's the first interview.

Thanks again. Good luck with getting White Fire (link no longer available) published.

2010 Is Full of Promise

January 4, 2010 /

2009 was a lean year in content. There was plenty of ambition, but the remains of nerd projectitis are evident. Hypermen went unfinished as well of Peridot. Mnemosyne never developed a magic system. Lenga, despite all the history written, never described more than a handful of emperors and the The Mill. I regret the unfinished threads of Lenga that were never developed.

Yet, this year promises a lot more. Things have changed for the better.

Positive Changes

  1. I write for Nevermet Press (new setting coming on Jan 11th!)
  2. I became a layout/editor for Basic Fantasy.
  3. My friend, Jeff, has a really good board game ready for market.
  4. I have a 2hr window on Saturday to write that doesn't get moved.

More on all of this later. Suffice it to say, that I hope to have a lot more content here in 2010.
