I Will Survive, Yeah, Yeah

Somehow, I made it - I finished the first draft of a major project for a upcoming release, completed stage 3 of my application for cool game-related job (I'm in the top 5% of candidates, so cross your fingers for me), play a game of WARMACHINE, and *still* managed to hang out/get plowed with friends 3 nights this weekend. As a note, Bicardi Lemon Rum is totally untastable when mixed with Minute Maid Lemonade. Good times.

For those of you going to Gencon, it's time to start thinking about meeting up with the Spycraft team. Patrick Kapera will likely be busy the entire time, but if you decide to play some RPGA Living Spycraft or come to the Build an Agent or Spycraft Q&A sessions, you will be able to see him. Scott will be likely be repeating his stint running demos for the good folks over at Twilight Creations running demos of Zombies!! or The Most Dangerous Game, their Spycraft expansion for When Darkness Comes... Once again, I will be a freelancer roaming the floors of the exhibition hall, drumming up work, visiting with the good folks at Privateer Press, and using the Mythic Dreams booth as a homebase...since Dark Inheritance should (hopefully) be there!

Speaking of Dark Inheritance, everything is DONE on that front. Poor Chad worked all weekend to bring you, the ravening Spycraft fan, DI for this show. I also ended up getting a primary writer and editorial credit for my work on this book, which is a surprise - I started with a 1000 word prestige class rewrite and blossomed into about 10,000 words in original material and rewrites + another 20-30k in edits. I've seen the final layout for this book and it is going to be bangin'. Do yourself a favor and buy two :)

Sooo...if you want to meet some of us Spycraft folks, my recommendation is to attend the (Friday?) Q&A. Myself, BD Flory, Patrick, Scott and Rodney Thompson will all likely be there to answer your questions, talk about SFA, and reveal hints at the cool new things we have coming up in the next year. We're all pretty approachable guys, so don't be surprised if you are invited to hang out at a later time ;) More on the job application and other surprises soon!
