on February 3rd, 2012

Even though I’m enjoying writing about Demascus these days, it’s great when books in my backlist get some love. So it was fantastic to see a new review of my Abolethic Sovereignty trilogy (Plague of Spells, City of Torment, and Key of Stars) by …

Holy And/Or Radiant Damage

on January 18th, 2012

A minor point but one of potential interest to D&D players who’ve played multiple editions of the game. Can holy and radiant damage both live in the same game? (Another way to put it: can we get by with just the one and not feel like we’re missing s…

So, Yeah, "D&D Next"

on January 10th, 2012

I’m a day late to this party, but I hereby publicly confirm that, yes, I’m one of the designers on D&D Next (as the cool kids are calling it), a project that will likely evolve into a new iteration of the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. We intend that thes…

An Exercise in Sarcasm

on November 2nd, 2011

Herman Caine’s 9/9/9 plan is easy to understand. That’s why it’s BETTER. Everything easy to understand is ALWAYS better.

That’s why iphones and electron microscopes are better than yelling and looking, because everyone understands exactly how ipho…

Imprisoned

on September 12th, 2011

In the realm of the fantastic fiction and games, it’s common to find imprisoned entities of terrible malign strength, secured by Ancient Powers of Good rather than destroyed. As for instance happened in the movie The Keep I watched last weekend with…

on August 8th, 2011

Most of the planks of the proposed act below would go a long way from tearing down the insulation between lawmakers and everyone else.

The proposed act appeared in my inbox. I’ve amended it only slightly. Still not sure how to get corporate money out…

I received an heirloom on my last visit home. It was originally a gift from my grandmother to my grandfather before they were married. It subsequently passed to my father after my grandfather’s death, and now it has come to me, on the condition it’ll g…

Visiting Home

on July 22nd, 2011

I’m back where I grew up to attend an old friend’s wedding. Most of the old gang is here (minus one who couldn’t make it–we miss you JD!).
