I personally was one of the lead writers on the Savage Worlds version of Conan, and have put a lot of ( Read more... )

Today my official transcript and diploma for my Masters degree arrived in the mail.

I figure, if folks with a doctorate are referred to as "doctor," my M.S. allows me to demand everyone address me as "master."

I am truly honored to share this award with Green Ronin and my co-author's Erica Balsley, Dave Jarvis, Steve Kenson and Sean Preston, and want to thank them all for the respective parts they played in putting this amazing little book ( Read more... )
