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 [...]

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 [...]
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, [...]

It’s done. I cannot undo it. In a fit of madness during the Witching Hour last night I unleased the Kickstarter campaign for The Littlest Shoggoth upon the world. Oh, what was I thinking? Woe betide humanity . . . errrr . . . that is, in the first 15 hour the campaign has raised [...]
Welcome to the third in a series of related posts about Kickstarter. I started by talking about Kickstarter in a very general way, followed up with an examination of Reaper’s recent crazily successful Kickstarter, and now (as promised) I’m going to talk a little bit about my Kickstarter plans. I’ve decided to try to Kickstart [...]
Yesterday, in talking about my current contract job at Wizards of the Coast, I noted that one of the advantages was that it let me stay connected to Super Genius Games. Of course, those of you who pay attention to such things may have thought otherwise based on the fact that my name is appearing [...]
One thing that hasn’t changed during my time away from the blog is that Wednesday is Game Night. And I’ve continued to use Facebook to post updates of the action as it occurs. Some people suggested that I use my Twitter account to do that, since ANYONE can follow Twitter but I have to allow [...]
