Nothing Recent

Hey,

I haven't been published recently, but I did a small chunk of stuff before d20 really got going. I wrote several strategy guides for Middle Earth: the Wizards, and parleyed that into a full-time job at Irom Crown, where I did some work on every line they had (except Dicemaster, which I am glad to have no responsibility for). My picture is even on the cover of a Million Ways to Die. The work I am most proud of there was my design of the second edition of Middle-earth: the Wizards, but it never got published. I also wrote a couple of reviews for InQuest.

I finally got fed up with certain aspects of the industry and left. However, I did submit two settings to WotC's open call.

...I had that opportunity a while back ... you could be condending with Eric Noah's D20 Magazine right now.

If you ever start that magazine, Eric, I'd be glad to take a position as proofreader.

It is amazing to see so much talent here on the boards. I was just mulling the exact same idea yesterday - It's mind-boggling to think of the sheer number of people who started posting to this board, who got their start shortly after the OGL was introduced. the "d20 Revolution" has done more to bring out potential talent over the past two years than any gaming system I can think of.

I have an article published in "Knights of the Dinner Table" about a player's reward system for DM's.

I have a submission for Dungeon that Chris Thomasson expressed interest in. I am awaiting his final decision. It's one of those "Critical Threats".

For those who are interested in getting published I'm looking for D20 adventures for a new e-zine, and I'm paying in more than just contributor copies. Check out my website DireKobold.com

I'm afraid all I do is art... I did a lot of stuff for the core Hackmaster books and some colors for the D&D comic, but Kenzer hasn't sent me projects in a while.

I did art for Sean K. Reynolds' site recently, did the cover for Asgard 6, and am on the verge of making a full-on assault on Wizards, F.D.P. and Paizo with my draw-rings.

As for games, the closest I've come is making a PRETTY decent as-yet-unpublished Christmas-themed module, a pitch to Fiery Dragon I haven't yet heard back about, and a plan to playtest a future DUNGEON module that was inspired by my story hour.

 

[Zog]

No D20 stuff for me - yet - mainly because I have yet to muster the discipline necessary to put something significant down on paper, and submit it. Lots of ideas - and maybe I'll write up a scenario I'm preparing for my current campaign and send it to DireKobold.

I did write and run a LARP for Intercon A! No cash, and doesn't count as published - but doggoneit, I did it!

 

[Scupper]

My site was one of the five up for Best Fan Campaign Site for the 2002 ENnies. (Didn't win, though.)

On that site, there is a "self-published" 80-page PDF to be downloaded.

As far as "real" stuff goes, I've playtested several products, most recently Secret College of Necromancy and Mutants and Masterminds for Green Ronin. I also contributed to Tournaments, Fairs and Taverns and GURPS Monsters.

I wrote a good portion of a prospective Slayer's Guide to Kobolds for Mongoose, but they decided to do it "in-house" instead. I turned the ideas I had around and sent them as a module proposal to Dungeon, got a favorable response, then dropped the ball and didn't write the adventure (lazy bastard).

That's about it for the moment.

The bulk of my published work dates back to the AD&D 2nd Edition days, but here's what I've done since 3E/d20 hit:

"The Ecology of the Hydra" (Dragon #272, had stats for both 2E and 3E)
"Armor of Virtue" (Dragon #275, 1st 3E "Bazaar of the Bizarre")
"The Ecology of the Darkmantle" (Dragon #275, 1st 3E "Ecology")
"The Ecology of the Sheet Phantom" (Dragon #276)
"Gorgoldand's Gauntlet" (Dragon Annual #5)
"Polymorphology" (Dragon #280)
"Rogues Gallery: The Monster Hunters Association" (Dragon #282)
"The Ecology of the Purple Worm" (Dragon # 282)
"Return of the Greater Drakes" (Dragon #284)
"Good Things Come In Small Packages" (Dragon #291, merged with another author's gnome magic items article)

"Challenge of Champions IV" (Dungeon #91)
"The Statue Gallery" (Dungeon #93)

The Slayer's Guide to Winter Wolves (Mongoose Publishing)
The Slayer's Guide to Trolls (Mongoose Publishing)

I'm also scheduled to have an article about wizard armor in Dragon #302, and I'm on Mongoose's schedule for early 2003 with an Encyclopaedia Arcane title. There are also a couple of articles and a Critical Threat sitting on the desks of the Paizo editors that I'm waiting to hear back on. Oh, and I have 8 of the 10 scenarios figured out for "Challenge of Champions V" - once I figure out the last two scenarios I'll start writing that one up as well.

"The Statue Gallery"

I really liked that one. Great "fits anywhere" encounter. That was what I was hoping for in the Book of Challenges but didn't really get.

If you mean published as in print then i ain't got squat..now if you mean published as in released work distributed then yes i have been.


All those CD's that the PCGen team passed around? All of those had the documentation revamped from nothing. I did the walkthrough and the help section. So everytime you see the walkthrough and get clues on how to run through pcgen and all it's features, you can thank me...

now i will go crawl back into my hole of obscurity until i can get mongoose and nat20 to publish my stuff ..code monkey press baby...
