First off, it looks like today’s DORK TOWER will be delayed, due to a last-minute Out of the Box Games emergency that had to be handled before most of the company runs off to the New York Toy and Game Fair. I won’t be there this year, which bites, because I had a great time […]

Irish convention-goers are known for their unbelievable generosity. They regularly raise sums of money unheard of at American of English cons. Mostly – I think – this is because the Irish nature is wondrous and giving to a fault. The fact that Irish cons ALSO hold their charity auctions in pubs might have a teeny […]

Remember all those projects I was telling you about? Here’s one I finished off recently…for all you Gilly fans: CHEZ GOTHWritten by Steve Jackson * Illustrated by John Kovalic Angst. Nookie. Roommates. Just another Friday night at Chez Goth. This stand-alone game puts a new spin on the award-winning (and all too realistic) Chez Geek. […]

Unbelievable. I’m here in London, staying with my sister after warpcon (some HUGE news from there, by the way…tune in tomorrow…), and for the most part, I’ve been finishing up a ton of work. Part of this is sending a lot of images back across the Atlantic. To do so, I’ve been lugging my trusty […]

OK. For the next three weeks, comics will be posted on DorkTower.com Tuesdays and Thursdays. After that, it’s back to three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). I think tomorrow’s comic is pretty good. I hope folks pop by and see it…and the following week, there are a couple of special surprises that will […]

Well, despite all my best efforts, work is kinda overwhelming again. I finally got today’s Pyramid Online strip up at 11:40 last night…20 minutes before the page went live. On the plus side, I’ve been really having fun with the online strips recently, so if you’re a Pyramid Subscriber, I hope you like it! On […]

Well, it’s about time I answered some of the comments that folks sent into the site. So here goes. Mailbag Monday #1. We’ll see just how long I keep THIS up… Sucks to be a Packers fan, don’t it? 😀 4th and 26. Never forget that, because we sure won’t. Miracles happen. E-A-G-L-E-S! Owen Brau […]

Cthulhu, the Packers and Ireland! Well, they’re all green, for a start… OK…this week REALLY got by me…I can’t believe I only managed one cartoon online in five days. In my defence, I WAS working on a ton of cool new Out of the Box games, as well as the new edition of Creatures and […]

Want to play Dork Tower Frag, but don’t want to destroy your copy of Dork Tower 25? You can now download the Dork Tower Frag board HERE, thanks to those fine folks at Steve Jackson Games. Football notwithstanding, I had a fun, exciting, productive weekend. Saturday night I went to the Cafe Monmartre to watch […]

Ack! Bad work day yesterday. Everything seemed to take twice or thrice as long as it should have. Game illustrations, comic strips for various magazines, the usual. I finally finished around midnight, then went out for a drink with my friend Dory just to get out of the office. That’s why the strip promised yesterday […]
