With the announcement from Wizards of the Coast about the upcoming new iteration of Dungeons & Dragons, there’s been the expected buzz in the fan community debating the merits of the current and all of the past versions of the game.

I guess the biggest bit of news in recent months is that I have a job. A temporary job, but a paycheck-every-two-weeks, medical-and-dental-insurance, get-up-and-go-to-the-office-every-day job … and, in a surprise I certainly didn’t see coming, the job is at Wizards of the Coast as a D&D Producer. You’ll note that I did NOT say that [...]
It’s finally official! After a hectic few weeks of trying to put everything in place, I got confirmation today that the top secret, holiday themed project I’ve been working on IS going forward and IS going to be available at Gen Con.

As cute as they are, though, if he ever gets a contract to write a self-help book based on this premise [...]
I spent a good deal of my time during the last few weeks of ’09 doing drawing assignments. That was a TERRIFIC way to end the year because, as I’m sure I’ve said here before, of all the great things I get to do for a living … drawing is the thing I like MOST. [...]

I’ve been quite secretive about the project I’ve been working on for Wizards of the Coast … hinting that it’s a D&D project that I couldn’t talk about yet. But I just discovered what the release date is and that WotC has not only announced it … they’ve put up a catalog page for it [...]

As a geekly public service, I thought I’d help out those of you searching for hobby-related holiday cards that you can send to friends and family. Back a few years ago, Wizards of the Coast commissioned me to do some holiday-themed cartoons that they then posted on their web site. Several website redesigns later, those [...]
