Robert E. Bates, 1981 – 2001 Judith and I went to see the French movie Amélie last night. It’s a blithe, enchanting celebration of life, and I hope everyone gets a chance to see it. On our return home, I discovered my friend and gaming industry compatriot Phil Lacefield had called and left a message […]
I Want My PvP! My compadre, cartooning bud and partner in Dork Storm crime, Scott Kurtz, is in infosphere limbo. His website, PvPonline.com, has been down for a week. Which has meant no PvP. Which has meant we’re all suffering for our daily fix. L est people panic, have no fear. PvP will be back […]
Well, it’s getting to that point where there are far more things going on than I’ve got time to jot down here. Since Dork Tower will be on vacation next week, I’m trying to put up something extra every day for the rest of this week. Yesterday, it was the extra TUESDAY Dork Tower. And […]
The DRAGONMEET aftermath First off, sorry about today’s cartoon going up late at Dorktower.com. Even though it’s been three days since we returned from London, both Judith and I were hit hard with some variant of the common cold that’s leaner and meaner for the new Millennium. It seems to be fading at last, but […]
DRAGONMEET COUNTDOWN. So I’m sitting here with Dork Tower #15 in my hands, all hot off the presses and stuff. The problem is, the first print run was slightly smaller than I’d hoped. MANY thousands of copies smaller. In other words, only 60 copies were printed before Dork Tower broke Brenner Printing’s printing press. Aaron […]
It’s been a very strange week here. First off, the bad news. Monday morning I got a call from my editor at Interactive Week, telling me that, due to the prolonged slump in advertising, the magazine was folding. Or rather, parts of it were being folded into its Ziff-Davis sister publication, E-Week. This last Monday’s […]
You may not know this, but I once thought of myself as lazy. Seriously. Though Dork Tower has been coming out in regular bimonthly intervals recently, and Dork Tower #15 should be back from the press in a few weeks, getting caught up with the backlog is still a way off. So we’ve come up […]
* The Gaming Industry Disaster Fund Auction is still going on and strong. Check it out! * DORK TOWER made the cover of Comics Buyer’s Guide this week! It’s CBG # 1459, and it should be in stores now (or at least close to now). There’s a story on Dork Storm Press, and Aaron and […]
The Gaming Industry Disaster Fund Auction is a really cool site set up by some Gaming Industry luminaries to aid the Red Cross and recovery efforts in New York and Washington. There are a couple of items I’ve posted that I thought folks might like to know about. But there are a TON of neat […]
I’m canceling all my Autumn conventions, except for Rock Con (Rockford, Il, Oct. 13, 14). Unfortunately, and heartbreakingly, this includes Essen (Germany) and Archon (St. Louis). Next year, I’ll be doing VERY few conventions. San Diego Comicon and Chicago Wizard World look like they’ll be casualties. Origins and GenCon will probably be my only Summer […]
