It’s been rough summer. Judith’s mom, Janice passed away, last month. Best. Mother-in-Law. Ever. Janice and Lester welcomed me into their family, when Judith and I married, 20 years ago. And the warmth and generosity Janice showed me was as immediate as it was unconditional. When I say “unconditional,” I mean it: Five weeks before […]
For various reasons, July was busy as hell. Unfortunately, that put me behind in training for the Insane Charity Bike Ride 2015. It also put me a month and a half behind plugging and hyping it. It’s approximately six weeks until the ride…and I’ve lost six weeks of training. I’m trying to catch up now, but […]
Gen Con – the Best Four Days of Not Even Coming Close to Seeing All the Friends You’d Have Liked to Have Seen – is over. At least for 2015. For me, it was whirlwind of meetings and signings and demos, with only one game actually played: Will Hindmarch’s wonderful “Who The #@%! Is My D&D Character?!“ […]
“John,” you say, looking at your watch awkwardly when you should be looking at me, “What are you most eagerly anticipating, at Gen Con this year?” I’m glad you asked! I’ll be part of an amazing event, run by my great friend, Will Hindmarch, and chock-full of people I love and admire: “Who The #@%! Is My D&D Character?!“: Watch (& […]

It’s been a while since I updated my convention appearances schedule. So here…we…gooooooooooo! Currently, confirmed gigs are: GEN CON July 30 – August 2, 2015 Indianapolis, IN (I should have my Gen Con schedule firmed-up soon – I’ll probably be doing two signings a day on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. One at the Steve Jackson Games booth, and one […]
HERE WE GO AGAIN! It’s the 9th Annual Bike the Barns ride! Bike the Barn supports FairShare’s Partner Shares program, bringing fresh, organic food from local farms to low-income families in our community. But look – here’s the think: I’m REALLY scared about raising $10,000 for this, this year. This is a huge sum – the […]
Comics are up again. Once more, for emphasis: COMICS ARE UP, AGAIN! There’s a longer post, somewhere, going into the explanation behind the half-year Dork Tower semi-hiatus. Long story short: Life Happened. So a series about Gilly’s Wedding that was supposed to take four to six weeks ended up spread over six months. I’m gonna ramble a bit here. OK. […]

These will be available starting June 27th at noon CST at Madison’s GameHoleCon, where I will be a guest) when badges on sale. As announced on GameHoleCon’s Facebook page […]
Hey, gang! You wonderful, generous, amazing gang! I’m doing another charity bike ride! You may remember my as the guy with the Duck on his Head.
