I blame John Scalzi, who posted a list of writerly goodies to come today over at the WhateverYou know, Monkey King see, Monkey King do, so I just started listing my own projects for the coming year to see what was already done. It's a much bigger list than I thought. Here's my projects for 2007, most already turned over to editors and freelancer ( Read more... )

game design, writing

wolfgang, my friend, you are a madman. a talented madman but a madman nonetheless.

Guilty as charged.

That's some heavy stuff.. halo_ov_fire December 29 2006, 08:51:22 UTC

....wish I could get Dragon/Dungeon while I was in Kuwait. From what I understand, they "limit" the magazines coming into the country ...so I've got a sneaking suspicion I won't see a lot of this.

Which is ironic, cause I plan on doing a lot of writing while I'm there. Hopefully, some of my submissions to paizo will actually make it past the iron gates known as rejection.

;)

Well, the WotC stuff you might get, since those are both hardcovers. The Open Design stuff is PDF based, so that's easy.

The magazines are probably tougher, yeah.

I'd be very curious to hear what sort of stuff you write when you're there. Is it Al-Qadimish, or more traditional S&S?

Re: That's some heavy stuff.. halo_ov_fire December 30 2006, 19:45:38 UTC

However, everything I buy overseas I have to eventually ship back to the states ....so I'm thinking about keeping everything as simple as possible.

Because of my work, I've already decided not to draw any questioning glances from the Kuwait government. I don't want to have to explain any of that.

As for writing, that depends. When I was living in Japan, I wrote some stuff for BuccaneerBass.com (the U.S. fan site for the Iron Kingdoms rpg) and a couple of articles for Dungeon (both which were "good, but couldn't be used"). All of this was either traditional S&S or steampunk ( ... )

370,000 words means an average of more than 1,000 words every day of the year, something that I aspire to but always fall short of.
One can only commend you.

Yes, 1000 words per day is about the usual pace. More than that only during big pushes (like Demonweb Pits, say).

I'm *really* looking forward to Pulp Cthulhu. Really, really, really.

I hope it does happen this year. The adventure I wrote for it was a lot of fun to playtest. But that was a few years ago.
