Heading to Gamehole Con!
This week, I’m running up the road to Madison, Wisconsin, for one of my favorite conventions of the year: Gamehole Con. It’s a wonderful show, and Alex Kammer, Andrew Hitchcock, and the rest of the crew there do an amazing job running it. If you have the chance, I wholly recommend going, and if you do, please say hi!
Here’s my schedule at the show:

“Writing is an act of discovery in which you peel back the layers of the story as you write it down.”

“Who the hell is Warren Ellis again?”
Hardison gaped at the man. “Only one of the greatest comics writers in the past twenty years. Might as well ask who Alan Moore is, or Frank Miller, or Mark Waid, or Brian Michael Bendis, or Marv Wolfman, or Geoff Johns.”
Eliot gave Hardison a blank look as they wove their way through the hall. Parker took the lead, toting a printed sign with her. Eliot and Hardison trailed in her wake. They made a point of striding right past Patronus’s booth. They didn’t turn to see if he noticed them.
“No one?” Hardison said. “Nothing? Not even Kurt Busiek? Neil Gaiman?”
“I have a life. I do things, active things. I date women.”
“Stan Lee?”
Eliot gave Hardison that one with a wag of his head. “Who hasn’t heard of Stan Lee?”
“All right,” Hardison said with satisfaction. “You had me worried there, man.”

“He's not dead, Parker." He clenched his jaw so hard she could see the muscles working in it.
"Are you just saying that to make me feel better?"
"No, I'm saying it to make myself feel better.”

“A group of adventurers is known as a "party," and not just because they like to celebrate their success together in the end. Your party should be as close to you as your family--assuming your family can cast spells, kill monsters, and bring you back from the edge of death.”
