There are a couple more sales and as soon as the contracts are signed, I’ll announce those, too.  This next thing isn’t a sale, but it’s something I’m geeked about.  The Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design is pleased to announce the 2013 Origins Awards Nominees.  A couple projects that I’m in received nominations:

- Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game – Margaret Weis Productions (Best Roleplaying Game)

- Eighth Day Genesis: A World Building Codex – Alliteration Ink (Best Game-Related Publication)

It’s been a pretty good year so far.
