It has come to my attention that people like getting things for cheap. I have also recently become aware that many people are sadly stuck at home and unable to attend the magnificent gaming convention, Gen Con, which is going on right now. As luck would have it, I'm one of those people. So, to...

To date, I've released three episodes of my episodic fiction series, The Heroes of Gracia, and I'm excited to keep moving forward with it. Currently, I'm writing a certain novel for a gaming publisher (can't talk much about specifics right now), so the series is on a short break, but rest...

10 reasons why you should read Heroes of Gracia. Yes, it is blatant self promotion, but if I didn't do it, who would? It also touches on some topics that matter to gamers. 10 Reasons You Should Read Heroes of Gracia Darrin Drader.com

Do you like to read? So maybe you remember me from D&D 3.5 with such books as The Book of Exalted Deeds, a couple of Forgotten Realms sourcebooks, and a whole slew of D20 products. I admit, I'm not around much anymore. Facebook is more or less where I live these days, and for the past two...

Just an FYI, I've released either a long story or a short novella called The Vacant Forge, which is the first volume in the series called The Heroes of Gracia. The Vacant Forge is a fantasy story set in a shared world called the Endlands, which was created by Scott Fitzgerald Gray, and shared...

Hi all, It feels very strange being allowed to post this stuff outside of the publisher's forum, and posting here feels a bit like I'm invading, but I guess this is how Russ wants to try it. So I'm here to let you know that the first 70 pages of my soon to be released novel Echoes of Olympus...

Hey ENWorld, I have to admit that I don't drop by here as often as I used to. The reason is that I'm on Facebook and that keeps me busy enough, and I've just generally been busy. I now work as a Narrative Designer in the video game field. Yes, it is a dream come true for me, and yes, I'm very...

Feel free to disregard this if you've already read the announcement at the Goblinoid Games forums. I'll repost the pertinent details below. Interested parties can feel free to contact me here. I hope that those who were fans of old school Gamma World, or those who are enjoy retro gaming and want...

http://www.enworld.org/forum/reviews/253252-reign-discordia.html Joela was nice enough to give my True20 space opera setting Reign of Discordia a review. My personal thoughts on the book are that even though sales were better than expected when it was released, it was badly overshadowed due to...

I've had all these Alternity books laying around for years and never done much with most of them. The only real exceptions are Alternity Gamma World and Alternity Dark Matter. As far as I know, I actually have the entire Alternity line. Despite this, I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Star...
