Dwarves and Things, A Lesson
Winter Cometh!
So my work in the winter issue of Kobold Quarterly, which was just released contains some pretty awesome racial utility powers for Tieflings, Gnomes, and Minotaurs for use with 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons. The powers are akin to the ones introduced in the Heroes of Shadow book and most of them have a very ‘classic’ feel to them, hopefully invoking warm thoughts of the racial bells and whistles of yore. I’m offering them to my players as freebies in my game, as I feel stuff like this is flavorful, fun, and having little to no impact on the balance of the game. These powers are things I feel we should have seen put into 4e to begin with.

Achievement Unlocked: Published in Print
As some of you may know, I’ve been talking about this for a little while now and can finally stop holding my breath because a pitch of mine was accepted into Kobold Quarterly’s pages. It feels great to be able to say that something I wrote was good enough to go into the printed pages of one of the best gaming magazines out there. Not only that, but this also means someone has paid me money to write about mythical beings – I’m not sure many things in life get cooler than this as far as I’m concerned.Granted it wasn’t a lot of money, but we’ll get to that later but the important thing is: huzzah!

Gencon Wrapup, ENnies Glory and Gloom.
The Excitement
So, Gencon has come and gone and yes Obsidian Portal won that ENnie we wanted so badly and I’m very proud to be an integral part of such a great team. Despite what both Micah and Ryan say about me earning this ENnie just as much as they did I have a hard time taking credit for something as amazing as Obsidian Portal.
