DCC RPG Delay is Worth the Wait

In case it was missed, Joseph Goodman discreetly announced that DCC will be delayed until April of 2012. As one of a small group of third-party publishers, I've gotten a look at the latest draft of the Dungeon Crawl Classics rpg and it's my unsolicited opinion that the end result is well worth the wait.

The jump in quality from the last version I've seen to this latest draft is huge. I know it's frustrating to see a release date slip further into the future. Hey, it's the reason I refused to put a month on that "2012" release for Transylvanian Adventures and The Transylvanian Grimoire.

But patience, in this regard, will be well-rewarded. Joseph is putting together a landmark release in 2012. He's dimension doored his way out of the "retroclone" pack and is quietly assembling a game that will be in the conversation for an Origins or Ennie award.

No joke. It's looking that good.

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've been in contact with a potential co-author for TA . He's very interested and a legit writer to boot. Because he's legit, his schedule is just as crazy as mine...

Been a Long Lonely, Lonely, Lonely, Lonely Time

Ugh. I suppose I could sum up the last few months with that classic scene from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining . The one where Shelley Duvall finds Jack Nicholson's manuscript... 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...
