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…

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…

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…

in Indiana Jones, Review

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…

in Indiana Jones, Review

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,…

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…

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…

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…

in Roleplaying Games, Torg Eternity

Today began the pre-Kickstarter teasers for the Cyberpapacy, the next of Torg’s cosms to be released. Once more I’ll be involved in the adventure process for this one, as I was for both the Nile Empire and Aysle, Torg’s “pulp action” and “mythical fantasy” settings. Being involved in the Torg Eternity line as a contributor…
