Unexpectedly, today I received a delivery containing the first two off-the-press advance copies of–yes–the actual finished book of The Littlest Shoggoth! Holy cats! Talk about a GREAT surprise (especially on a Monday!). They look, feel, and even smell AWESOME! (I love “new book smell!) And I can’t wait to be able to share them [...]
As anyone who spent any time here at the Stannex or reading my Facebook or Twitter feed painfully knows, I ran an eventually successful Kickstarter campaign for The Littlest Shoggoth last November/December. While this hardly makes me an expert, it does give me practical experience that leads others to occasionally ask me for advice on [...]

One of my favorite projects I’ve done over the last few years is the Warriors Adventure Game. It’s always made me a little sad that it never really got the attention that I’d hoped it would among the hobby games crowd. Sure, it’s a game designed specifically for fans of the young adult novels by [...]

The polls have closed, and we have the results coming in. Here’s the official tally: The Littlest Shoggoth Kickstarter final pledge total = $11,782! So the book will be printed 9″x6″ in full color with a hardcover! We had a total of 360 backers, so I’ll be doing two new pieces of wallpaper art. Thank you to [...]

Let’s start with the numbers, shall we? As of this posting, The Littlest Shoggoth has just shy of $8,500 in pledges. We’ve passed both our initial goal and the first stretch goal (which means I’ll be sending out hand-signed post cards to all backers of the Initiate Level and higher). Of course, we’ve still got [...]
We had a GREAT day yesterday, and I’m 100% convinced it is all due to backers, friends, and fans taking a little time to make posts about the project. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who did. This, of course, only encourages me in my notion that it’s important to keep [...]

Things continue to roll along with the Kickstarter campaign for The Littlest Shoggoth. In fact, the last couple of days have been trending up a bit. Could be that the “doldrums” are about to turn into a “last minute frenzy” . . . but I certainly won’t count those proverbial chickens until they hatch. In [...]

Given how often I’m over at the OneBookshelf sites, I don’t know how this slipped my attention previously, but it turns out that through Dec. 7th they are doing a promotion called Teach Your Kids To Game Week. The idea basically is . . . ummm . . . to teach your kids to game. [...]
We’re moving into the home stretch for the Kickstarter campaign. Only two weeks left, and The Littlest Shoggoth is nearing in on $7,500 in pledges … which is great! At this rate we’re seeming closer and closer to certain that the stretch goals for color interior and a hardcover printing will be met. And yet, [...]

One of the questions I get most often about The Littlest Shoggoth Kickstarter campaign is whether there will be any add-ons—extra shoggoth-related paraphernalia and regalia that backers can add to their pledges. The answer is yes, and the time has come to unveil the add-ons! +$10 — Shoggoth Lapel Pin: A 1.5″-wide, die struck, soft enamel, [...]
