I’m in Canada, again, sooner than I thought. I’m traveling to see my pal Jeff. Jeff is my hero. Jeff is dying. Jeff has a rare, wretched form of brain cancer, Glioblastoma Multiform. He’s been fighting it with courage, humour and strength, for more than two years. Saying “he’s been an inspiration” is like remarking of the Golden Gate Bridge […]
Gaming registration opened at Gamehole Con, last week, and the Dorkstock track of events has been finalized. I honestly can’t believe it all looks so awesome, and huge thanks have to go to Dorkstock coordinator Frances Moritz, Dork Storm Press Business Manager Alex Aulisi, a whole SLEW of Steve Jackson games MiBs (John “Shadowcat” Ickes taking the […]
(1) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU everyone! Holy cats, you all totally busted our Insane Charity Bike Ride record, and the Army of Dorkness raised more than $17,000 for the Fair Share coalition’s Partner Shares program! That’s going to help a whole heck of a lot of low-income families get good […]
It’s an understatement to say I’m ridiculously grateful for the many, many folks who are generous with their time and donations, helping make my now-annual Insane Charity Bike Ride meet its fundraising goals. Prime example – Neil Gaiman wrote an utterly delightful limerick, just for supporters. Last year I illustrated it, and backers received it as a mini-print. Here it is, […]
Just gotta say this: working on Munchkin is already pretty much a fairy tale job. But on occasion, a project comes along that – honestly – you’re glad Steve Jackson Games doesn’t realize you’d pay them to be able to work on. When Phil Reed first mentioned the possibility of a Munchkin game set in the […]
(IMPORTANT NOTE: currently, all three slots are now claimed, two are paid for, one is reserved for 24 hours, pending payment). My annual Insane Charity Bike Ride is, frankly, quite Munchkin-centric to begin with, what with me (potentially) riding with a Duck of Doom on my helmet. And what with pretty much everyone who donates receiving a […]
Gene Wilder’s passing Struck me quite a bit harder than I thought it would. So on the spur of the moment, I drew this: Other people seemed to like it, so that was very nice. I didn’t have time to finish it off, but I now sort of want to work this up for the new Charity […]
This week, I’ve been drawing some new comic book pages. For a Dork Tower comic book. I KNOW, right? More news as it happens, That is, as John Hodgman says, all. – John (PS: I’m having fun!)
Today I finished inking the limited edition Insane Charity Bike Ride 2016 Munchkin Charity postcard (it lets you start a game of Munchkin at Level 3). Name? HIGHER PORPOISE! (I’d like to think Andrew Hackard has taught me well, when it comes to Munchkin Puns. Hopefully, this makes him proud. And “proud” is not a […]
Gen Con: the best four days of not seeing even an eighth of the friends you’d love to have seen… Yup, Gen Con 2016 is in the books, and it was a wild, crazy, insane time, with huge crowds, giant lines, and a total lack of sleep. And that’s just fighting for a Delta flight home! Ba-dum-kshhhh! […]
