OK…jetlag’s receding, and I woke up this morning at a decent hour…that is, one in which the sun was also already up. Sorry for the recent radio silence. Virgin Atlantic’s started a new Chicago to Heathrow service, and was offering round-trips for $325, at which point it almost seems rude not to take them up. […]

In case you haven’t been over to Dorktower.com in the last week, you’ve missed David Reddick – he of “The Trek Life” fame – and his snazzy take on the Dork Tower gang. I’d like to thank Dave tons for letting me hide for a while, and take some time off. And when I say […]

Home from Vegas, and head down in work. The GAMA Trade Show (GTS) seemed grand enough. I say “seemed,” because, as previously noted, I was out of commish for a couple of days, thanks to a well-documented bout of food poisoning that left me two-for-four as far as conventions involving severe gastric distress go this […]

GAMA Trade Show 2007. Looks amazing. Turnout seems high. People seem genuinely excited. Balley’s appears to be an amazing location. The weather is fantastic. Exhibitors are plentiful and cheery… …and I’m down with food poisoning. Again. This makes two out of three conventions so far this year (Warpcon being the other). I mean, really. Come […]

My Little Cthulhu is IN THE COUNTRY and IN THE WAREHOUSE! As is the Paizo Publishing Limited Edition Angry My Little Cthulhu! They should all be shipping soon. Say, a week to get to distributors, and a week to get from there to shops. Ish. **** Also good news: ALL the “10 Days” series are […]

After linking to Paizo.com as the place to pick up My Little Cthulhu and Angry Limited Edition My Little Cthulhu, should your FLGS not have it in… …folks have been greeted with news that a “Major Announcement” would be coming down the pike. Moments later, the announcement’s been posted. I knew about this a little […]

Just did a quick count. I estimated I did “30 or 40” foreign language edition Munchkin cards the other day, and used the “30” number for the estimate. In actual fact, as far as I can tell, I’ve done 64 foreign language cards. So right now, it looks like the total number of Munchkin cards […]

I was perusing the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists website, distressed at the number of really bad cartoons concerning the Virginia Tech massacre that were posted this morning. Now, while a few greats of the field regularly add their cartoons to the AAEC website, many more don’t. Which is a shame, and gives the pages […]

I’ve illustrated six full Munchkin games: Munchkin; Star Munchkin; Munchkin Bites!; Super Munchkin; Munchkin Impossible and now Munchkin Cthuhu. At about 168 cards each, that makes 1,008 cards. I’ve illustrated eight Munchkin supplements; Munchkin 2; Munchkin 3; Munchkin 4; Munchkin 5; Star Munchkin 2; Munchkin Bites 2; Super Munchkin 2; and Munchkin Blender. At around […]

A very special convention is happening this summer. Ziggurat Con, being held June 9 from 1200 to 2100 hours at Camp Adder/Tallil Airbase, in Iraq, is open to all allied military personnel and civilian contractors in Iraq. This is the first gaming convention ever held in a war zone. Full details and a picture of […]
