Things That Can Be Told

I have been added to the list of stretch goals for James Wallis' marvelous-looking Kickstarter RPG, Alas Vegas . If he hits the In Over Your Heads stretch goal, I'll be bending my talents toward some supplemental material for the game. And let me say again, it looks marvelous. James is one of my favorite game designers, and the rogue's gallery he's lined up for his stretch goals - folks like Hite and Selinker and Forbeck - make this a crew of hitters that compares favorably to Danny Ocean's. Step up. Chip in. And let me work my evil magic on James' behalf.
I have seen the cover art for VAPORWARE, which will be put out very, very soon by the fine folks at JournalStone. It is absolutely striking, and when I can share it with you, I will.
Speaking of Books That Are Mine, SNOWBIRD GOTHIC is still out there and anxiously awaiting a good home. Matt Bechtel at NECON E-books has done a marvelous job with the layout on the hardcopy edition, and hopefully we'll have those soon as well. In the meantime, you can get it here, or here. And if you like it and feel like writing a review for Amazon or Goodreads, well, I won't say no.
Conference season is fast approaching, so I can say this: I'll be doing a panel at GDC as well as my three workshops, and I'll also be guesting at the Oxford Writing Festival. There's also the Game Narrative Summit at GDC, which I'm on the Advisory Board for, and the East Coast Game Conference, which boasts a new writing track that I just might have something to do with.
As for this weekend, if you're in the Triangle, there's a couple of events I'd like to recommend. Horror film fans should check out the Nevermore Film Festival at the Carolina Theater in Durham, which is chock full of goodness like John Dies At the End. And on Sunday, I'll be volunteering for the MasterChefs event for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Big thanks go out to all the folks like Baen, Mur Lafferty, CZP, and Atomic Empire who donated auction items, and to the volunteer crew I'll be working with in the back room.
And that's all for now.
