Roll the Bones!

Okay, so this post is ridiculously overdue. However, if you haven't yet heard about it, Fight On! magazine ran a weird short fiction contest, which was subsequently published (not quite last November as the flyer states...) in a wide variety of formats. The hard copy is on sale ALL SUMMER for the excellent price of $9.99. You can buy either the hard copy or Kindle version at Amazon. The stories are uniformly outside the box, and it's illustrated, too. Whyfore do you hesitate?

Yes! Tear me away from this awesome blog right now to buy this even awesomer book!

I was lucky enough to have my entry selected for inclusion. You can download and read it right here if you like: Sight for Sore Eyes. Let me know what you think!

Beyond the Black Gate

This is a gold mine of a blog!

The posts are great, but even just the resource links on the side are worth your time...

Roll a d6!

Unbelievably awesome!

A Splendid Random Dungeon Generator...

...from Wizards of the Coast, of all places. Looks like it's for 3.5, but is certainly easy to translate to older flavors of the game:

Go make a megadungeon in under 10 minutes!

And if anyone can fill me in on what the "Load" field on the bottom of the page is for, I'd appreciate it.

I've already printed out two levels, formated as booklets. Too easy!

Another take on those pesky halflings...

So, I was having one of those random "search your own name on Google" days, and I stumbled across this:

Middenmurk: Devil's in the Details

Using Brueghel and Bosch to help visualize the little buggers is, well, brilliant. I especially love "Many halflings...have no inside voice."

Tons of great character hooks in those lists!

Finally got my artwork online...

So, thanks to Matt Finch, I finally got around to putting my artwork online. Everything in the current portfolio has either been produced specifically for or included in Fight On! Magazine, though soon there'll be some stuff from a couple of different projects I'm working on.

Doing artwork for the Old School Renaissance has really been a dream come true for me, with the current highlight being an Honorable Mention in the Erol Otus Art Challenge. Erol himself commented on my drawing. My 12 year-old self actually fainted.

My plan is to just keep adding 'em as I finish 'em.

If you'd like to talk with me about working on a project, please drop me a line!
