Woo! Let’s celebrate this newsletter thingy with a book give away! I’ll be giving away two signed books: a copy of Heirs to Heresy and a copy of Crescendo of Violence! Both were releases from Osprey Games and some of my favorite work I’ve done! All you need to do to get a copy is be subscribed to this newsletter by January, 31st!

The winners and the game they get will be randomly selected (though if you already have one, I’ll make a swap).

The RPG industry is currently in an uproar due to rumored leaks about the plans Wizards of the Coast has for the future of the Open Gaming License. My friend Lance, from Undead Viking came over and interviewed me about my thoughts and feedback.

You can see that here. It’s mostly a bunch of “I am not a lawyer, and I haven’t seen any paperwork, so I don’t know.” But hey, maybe it’ll help, maybe it won’t.

Interview with Undead Viking

I’ve been running Shadows of Esteren, Traveller, some playtesting games, and playing a lot of the Supershow card game. I’m also writing more than I ever have in my life, chewing through nearly 10k words a day, and having a blast doing it. I’m feeling very much at a peak creatively, doing what I consider some of my best work and that is a lot of fun to be in the zone for.

Stuff you can expect from me?

The awesome Rick Hershey and I are going to team up to do some cool ‘small-form’ RPGs (digest sized, hardcover), published through GKG and similar to SYMA, but created collaboratively.

A bunch of long-delayed (2020 is the gift that will give forever it seems) projects will be coming out this year too. I’m feeling productive and busy, but in that good, enjoyable “I love this” way I’ve really been missing the last few years.

It’s nice to “be back”.
