  • Paizo vs. Diamond is a Disaster for the RPG Industry

    This is a nasty mess. I’m pulling for Paizo! For those of you who aren’t in this industry, this probably doesn’t make a lot of sense. But here’s the short version: Imagine if you made your own jewelry and wanted to sell it. There’s a distributor who can get it into stores. You have to… Read more

  • On Writer’s Block

    So… both my undergraduate and graduate degrees were in Creative Writing. Not the most marketable degree in the world, for sure (argh) but I did learn some things about the writing process, and one of them came up today. I spent the last two days trying unsuccessfully to start Act 4 of a 7-act adventure… Read more

  • islands of fire on the Pegshow

    I was interviewed by Ron Blessing for this week’s PEGshow, Pinnacle’s official podcast for news and discussion! We talked about my new setting, Islands of Fire, for Sigil’s upcoming Savage Sign #2! http://peg.show/2020-26-racial-traits-and-modifiers-w-brian-reeves Read more

  • Islands of Fire setting coming for the Savage Worlds RPG

    The 2nd issue of The Savage Sign is now live on Kickstarter! This issue features two original settings, one of which is my own Polynesian-inspired fantasy setting, “Islands of Fire,” the basis for my series of novellas by the same name. This issue also features Eugene Marshall’s Verne/Lovecraft setting “The Depths of Madness,” a ton… Read more

  • RPG Articles of Yesteryear

    While tooling around in the Steve Jackson website, it occurred to me to look up my own name. Over 20 years ago I sold an article for Pyramid Magazine, which was dedicated to the GURPS roleplaying game, a game I played quite a bit through the 90s. The article was called “Machine Magic,” and presented… Read more

  • Indiana Jones and the Unicorn’s Legacy

    I’m back with another of my explorations of the “Indyverse,” where I look at the many lesser-known books, comics, games, etc. that are connected to one of my favorite fictional heroes, Indiana Jones. Today I’ll have a look at Book #5, Indiana Jones and the Unicorn’s Legacy. So far these books have followed one another… Read more

  • Indiana Jones and the Genesis Deluge

    I started reading this series back in 2016, when our family took a trip to Disneyland. Getting to ride the Indiana Jones ride again (for the first time since 1995!), popped back into place a love I have for this character and his particular brand of pulp adventures. I vowed I’d read all the novels,… Read more

  • Divine Shadow

    I just want to take a moment to mention a project by a long-time friend of mine, Greg Sommers, who owns and operates a video production company in Seattle, Washington. Divine Shadow was a labor of love for him, a 14-part web-exclusive martial arts miniseries available for free on YouTube. Divine Shadow tells the story… Read more

  • Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils

    Today, as I continue to explore the “Indyverse,” I’ll take a closer look at the 3rd in the book series, Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils. This book was also written by Rob McGregor, and published in late 1991 — making that quite a busy year for both Indy and Rob McGregor! As with all… Read more

  • Running an Ad Campaign

    I just began an advertisement campaign for the Kindle version of my mythical Polynesian fantasy series, Islands of Fire. This is the first time I’ve actually advertised or marketed a book, save for mentioning it here or there on relevant forums online. The ad campaign is pretty modest, as far as they go — I’m… Read more
