This Could All End Very, Very Badly

It started as a lark. No, more like a rant. A rant against why no tabletop roleplaying game had ever captured the spirit of one of my favorite niche genres of film -- Hammer Horror. Yes, I know. Ravenloft. It's not my intent to be dismissive. That's just the first thing everyone has said since I started this "thought experiment gone horribly wrong" 18 months ago.

Long story short, I'm here. On a blog. With a publishing imprint ready to kick off the mad marketing campaign of my own personal fantasy heartbreaker.

I even had to look up what a publishing imprint was.

I'm so incredibly out of my element here. So here goes...

    When you're famous, I'll be able to point back to this post and say I was first.

    Very much looking forward to these. Soldier on!

Back on the Rack

It's been a long time. But I'm still here. Still working on stuff. Over the last few months, here's what I've been up to. I took a brief hiatus around the end of last year and the start of this year. The holidays are always busy. And work was busy as well. Work's really continued to be busy. I consider that a good thing but it does hamper my ability to devote time to writing. During this hiatus, I took the time to explore what the tabletop RPG community had been up to. I read a number of books, played in some games, ran some games, funded some Kickstarters -- all that stuff I enjoy doing when I'm not the "Transylvania Guy". This is generally a time when I collect ideas. It was helpful when I came back from hiatus to look at Transylvanian Adventures  again with fresh eyes.

I haven't lost my mind or anything. But time devoted to anything outside of paying the bills has been hard to come by. The Good +Doug Kovacs . Just Doug Kovacs. He was the sole representation of Transylvanian Adventures at GenCon and continues to be an amazing supporter even through this relatively dark period in my productivity. Thank you, Doug. +Joseph Goodman gave me a very generous opportunity to put an ad in the GenCon program. Much thanks to him. I appreciate that he hasn't given up on me. I've finished re-writing the Monsters section. I still have about 18 or so new monsters to add in. But progress has been made. 5e. I've had the opportunity to play and peruse the latest edition of The World's Most Popular Fantasy Roleplaying Game. It's good and is the fi...
