My Gen Con 2010 Events

Here are the descriptions of my events:

Aqua Teen Hunger Force at the Mountains of Madness
Lightning eyes, meat morphing, a magic belt (with all the powers of 70's super-group, Foreigner) and... shake power? Can even these fantastic abilities save you when alien horrors stretch their non-Euclidean tentacles across Tripod City? Get a sneak peek at TAG's "Powers Out of this World" (POW!) super-hero role-playing system and have fun impersonating your favorite characters from the cartoon.

Beyond the Caves of Chaos
Adventurers from a variety of worlds and genres travel back in time to a certain Keep on the Borderlands in pursuit of ruthless temporal raiders from Qalidar who hope to unearth a terrible secret lost in the caves. (True20)

Crime Wave: Lightfoot Island
Get a sneak peek at TAG's "Powers Out of this World" (POW!) super-hero role-playing system in this insular extension of the multi-GM Crime Wave scenario.

Editing Task Update

Well, I got a bit into my editing, but not as far as I hoped.  It's a longer story than I remembered, but it's fairly rewarding work because, as I said or at least implied, there is some great wordplay, some of which needs just a little bit of tuning.  (At least, it looks that way to me.  We'll see what the author thinks when I hand it back to him.)  Doesn't look like I'll get much done tonight because we're going out to watch some kind of sporting event in a bar.  I'll keep posting progress updates here.  On the work, I mean; not the sporting event.  I don't really think anyone cares, but it gives me a small motivational boost to commit to it in public.

2010 Busy-Ness

My list for this year is looking kind of daunting.  I haven't even managed to sort these, yet.

• Edit Matt Franks' Freddy Tampa story for Tom's WHAP noir thing.  I can't even grouse about this being dumped on me, because I volunteered.  I saw gleams of coolness in this story that I was afraid another editor would smudge.  Maybe I won't do any better.  We'll see.
  
• Finish Qalidar Old School, my conversion of Qalidar to the old style D&D variants, Peryton RPG, and Tunnels & Trolls.  I'm more than halfway done with this and originally stopped because I was hit with an overwhelming urge to write a T&T adventure (see a few steps down).  Then I had to prep my Christmas adventure for my trip to Arkansas.
  
• Finish Peryton Basic PDF and get a Peryton RPG character sheet up for free on the DriveThru site.  I'm almost finished with this, if not completely.  I want to release it all simultaneously with Qalidar Old School, though, so it waits.
  
• Gen Con business.  Lodging arrangements, registration, all that stuff.
• Same deal for BASH Con in Toledo and a room for the Troll Hoot somewhere near Columbus.
• Finish the short, untitled Tunnels & Trolls adventure that I started in the middle of something else I was supposed to be doing.
• Finish the also-untitled werewolf adventure or another one for Swords & Wizardry (etc.) which, again, I abandoned for questionable reasons late in 2009.
• Finish the book of True20 critters for Qalidar.
• Write the Aqua Teen Hunger Force scenario for POW! that I'll be running at Gen Con this year.
• Write the Qalidar/Keep on the Borderlands scenario for True20 that I'll be running at Gen Con this year.
• Write an adventure for the T&T Halloween collection we're doing.
• Find an editor for the Peryton Magazine/Newsletter/Bulletin/Whatever.  Must be cheap, brilliant, and willing to take abuse.
• Cook up some small freebies and/or cheapies for Peryton RPG.
• Someday maybe Isun (T&T) and Loar, which have been promised for, like, ever and may once again be put off.
• Maybe do something with that Ezren story that I started back in... whenever. 2001, I think.

The most important one to get done is probably the Qalidar critters book, but I'm thinking maybe a low-hanging fruit approach might be the best way to get started.  The easiest stuff to pick off would be BASH Con, Freddy Tampa, Qalidar Old School, and Peryton Basic.  I ought to be able to get BASH Con and Freddy Tampa done tonight.

Hey, it's a start.

Interview at Mystic Visions

I don't think I've posted this here before, so here's me being interviewed by Eposic for their Mystic Visions blog:

http://eposic.net/blog/archives/178

Hopefully, we'll get to see that book pretty soon. In the meantime, here's a link to The Book of Exodi. I should warn you that, because my contribution constitutes a much smaller portion of its total word count, Exodi is necessarily inferior to the upcoming Out of Order, but it's still worth taking a look.
