I've been back from Gen Con for a couple days, now, and anyone who follows me on Facebook knows that despite having a tough time getting pumped for the con beforehand, I had a pretty great experience this year. As always, the con went too fast and I was sad it was over, but I met some awesome fans and had an awesome time at the Troll Lord Games booth. Very excited about the prospects for the future. There are some very exciting developments in the works for Amazing Adventures , but until we have a bit more in the way of concrete development I can't say just what, yet. Also had a great time at the Eden Studios booth Friday with George Vasilakos and crew - awesome to finally see Band of Zombies in print, and George an d I came up with a great idea for my next AFMBE book as well! Again, until there's something more concrete I can't say just what, but I'm really digging the idea. I'm eternally grateful to Joseph Wolz, Chris and Nicky Helmkamp, and Kevin Dea...

Find out What Kind of Dungeons and Dragons Character Would You Be? , courtesy of Easydamus (e-mail) This may be the best one of these I've seen yet. Fair warning, though: There's 129 questions to answer, and some of them can get a bit uncomfortable. Still, I'd say these results are pretty damned accurate for me. I'm impressed! I Am A: Neutral Good Human Bard (5th Level) Ability Scores: Strength- 14 Dexterity- 16 Constitution- 11 Intelligence- 14 Wisdom- 14 Charisma- 13 Alignment: Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable. Race: Humans are the most adaptable of the common ...

Question for all of our fans and followers out there. As many of you are aware, ELG is in a bit of a holding pattern right now due to the lack of funds to "do it right," as it were. If I were to do a Kickstarter to fund a second edition of S&S which would commission professional artwork, clean up the rules and formatting, and basically take Elf Lair to the next level as a professional company, would you support the effort? I'd be interested in feedback on what kinds of level rewards you'd like to see, what YOU want out of the company, and how much you'd be willing to commit. So you're aware of where I can go with this, aside from doing Spellcraft & Swordplay properly, I have a science fiction game entitled Twelve Parsecs in the wings, as well as an urban fantasy game which is still in the conceptual stages. Both of these latter games would use an updated and revised version of the O.R.C.S. system, which would likely also make its way into the second ed...

Eldritch Witchery is my next book for role-playing Witches.  In this case the game is Spellcraft & Swordplay .  The book will include a Witch AND a Warlock class. And without further ado here is the new cover! Lilith by Isra2007 I was able to get this wonderful piece of art of Lilith from Isra2007. It will be updated in the Spellcraft & Swordplay trade dress, but nothing else will be done to the image.  It is too perfect as is. Like the Witch , Eldritch Witchery will have new spells, magic items and monsters.  It will have traditions, but all new ones , different from the Witch, so new Occult Powers too.   Warlocks also have Lodges they belong to.  The biggest addition is the inclusion of all the demons and devils to the Spellcraft & Swordplay game .  If you were around for my April A to Z posting then you have an idea what will be included. The book is done, more or less.  The first part with the witches, spells and magic...
