Hi everyone! I’ve been super busy with writing a minimum of 1000 words per day every day of November! Amy talked a little about it in a recent news post. I’ve also been working on a couple of things for The Secret War – the logo, the book itself and, if I can get them…

Things are in the works. Right now, Ed is busy discussing rules, art, ideas, and all things game related with the creators of both Ether and our newest game. This is the difficult part, the part where we don’t have art to dazzle you or stories to mesmerize you. Work is being done and progress…

Hi everyone! Obviously, last weekend I was at MCM Comicon. I have to be honest, this week I’ve not done a lot. I’ve been working on a few stories for Era: The Empowered – I’ve done 3 this week. Keith has done some awesome artwork of several of the characters in the game and it’s…
