I guess the title makes things pretty clear from the outset, doesn’t it? As a company, Wizards of the Coast is dead to me. It’s been coming for a while now, but around last week was where it all solidified, and I’ve determined to no longer buy any sealed product from them. (With maybe aContinue reading “Wizards of the Coast Can Go To Hell”

At What Point has the Line Been Irrevocably Crossed? (Part 2: The Assault on Jeremy Hambly)
The wider Culture War has been raging for some time now, but, as of late, it really seems to me that several lines have been crossed, and the future seems headed to a dark place due to that. The attack aimed at an author from within a published comic was bad enough, but physical assaultContinue reading “At What Point has the Line Been Irrevocably Crossed?

Why I Write Space Opera, and Why it’s Awesome
The question, “Why do you write [insert genre, type of story]?” is one that writers can be certain someone will as at one point or another. So, I think I’ll get the jump on that question, or at least on one of my answers, as I also write fantasy, and plan to write historical fantasyContinue reading “Why I Write Space Opera, and Why it’s Awesome”
JordanCon 2015 Recap (Part 3)
On to day three, the last day of JordanCon. 😦 I let myself sleep a little bit late again, because I really needed it, and between that and packing (checkout was at noon), I didn’t make it down until around 11:30. Seeing as that was in the middle of a panel block, and there wasn’tContinue reading “JordanCon 2015 Recap (Part 3)”
JordanCon 2015 Recap (Part 2)
On to day 2! (Otherwise known as the longest day of the con.) I managed to get about 5 hours sleep, and after eating made it down sometime around 11. I actually can’t recall if I made it to the first writing panel of the day, but I definitely made it to the second, whichContinue reading “JordanCon 2015 Recap (Part 2)”
JordanCon 2015 Recap (Part 1)
Two weekends ago I attended JordanCon 7, also known as Con of the Red Hand. This was my fifth consecutive time attending, and over time it’s become only more enjoyable, as evidenced by the fact that I got the least sleep at the con this year compared to the last 4 years, and the dayContinue reading “JordanCon 2015 Recap (Part 1)”
JordanCon 2013 Recap: Why You Should Come Next Year (Part 3)
(An addendum to the last post: Due to the fact that I was in the game room playing Magic all Saturday night, I neglected to mention the ‘con’s actual main even that night. Â It’s worth mentioning even though I wasn’t at it. Said main event was a dance party in the main area, which lastedContinue reading “JordanCon 2013 Recap: Why You Should Come Next Year (Part 3)”
JordanCon 2013 Recap: Why You Should Come Next Year (Part 2)
And continuing where I left off, day 2 of JordanCon 5! A pre-arranged hotel wake-up call woke us up at about 9:30, but, unsurprisingly, we moved slowly. By the time we got up and took care of all the morning’s religious obligations, eat, breakfast, and prepared lunches (since returning to the room at any point middayContinue reading “JordanCon 2013 Recap: Why You Should Come Next Year (Part 2)”
