Whatever happened to Ken Hite?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

His LiveJournal makes a reference to him still doing Out of the Box columns, but the OotB section on Gaming Report doesn't show anything after November 2006. Did he move his column elsewhere? Is Gaming Report's search list broken? Has Hite gone loopy and started posting imaginary columns to imaginary Web sites? (And are the Elder Gods responsible?)

Maybe he's busy. Last I heard he was working on a GUMSHOE Cthulhu game for Pelgrane Press.

And did Adventure into Darkness, his Lovecraftian supers book for M&M, ever come out? I talked to him about it at KublaCon and it sounded wonderfully inventive, with one of the best premises I have ever heard of for a setting.

Oh Man! GUMSHOE Cthulhu would be so cool!!!

princeofcairo is his LiveJournal account. His recent Tour de Lovecraft series was a lot of fun!

In answer to the OP's question, I can confirm that as of this posting Ken Hite is currently at Origins.

I told him about this thread, so with a little luck we'll all be graced with his wit sometime in the near future.

Ken's Out of the Box column continues, it's just that that particular listing doesn't update itself any more. Here's a link to his April 2007 Out of the Box.

It's probably easier to keep an eye on his livejournal to follow the column these days.

Thanks, guys.

What's up with Gaming Report not linking to his columns?

They are under new ownership that seems to have different priorities than the old ownership, is my guess.

It's a wacky ownership that doesn't want maximum ad views on what has to be one of their most popular columnists. (If he's not, then the world makes no sense to me. NONE! )
