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 [...]

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.

I’ve been almost constantly at work on some portion of the fund raising effort—managing the process on the [...]

Over the last couple of days, I’ve talked about how it was I came to be a contract worker at Wizards of the Coast ten years after I was laid off from my previous job there, and how their attempt to hire me full-time again ran into difficulties over the Creative Rights terms their package [...]

Yesterday, I talked a bit about how, ten years after being laid off by Wizards of the Coast, I came to be working for them again . . . or, at least, working in their offices again, this time as a contractor. When I broke off, it was just after I received an offer of [...]

Last week I said I’d write more about the fact that I was no longer working at Wizards of the Coast . . . and mainly I said that because I knew folks would be curious. But truth be told, there really isn’t that much to say on the subject. I guess, though, I could [...]
In the worst surprise announcement ever, yesterday I told all y’all that I’m about to have a Kickstarter to bring The Littlest Shoggoth back into print. I’m really excited about this, and I hope you will be, too. It strikes me, though, that to some folks this is might not be as obvious a choice [...]

That was some election season, eh? With my utter absence from my own blog, I wouldn’t be surprised if rumors had begun floating around that I was somehow involved in one or another of the political campaigns. But no. Nothing so highfalutin. (I know, I was surprised it was spelled that way, too!) So, what’ve [...]
