Writing
I see myself as something of a writer to some degree. I have all kinds of ideas swimming in my head, it is just a matter of finding the time to write them down. Below is a list of pages that contain various links to my semi-professional and personal writing.
My Gaming Writing
Signs & Portents Magazine – Before it went full PDF, I wrote a B5 d20 adventure that was a sequel to a previous adventure they published.
The Gaming Report – A now defunct web site that I wrote for from 2005 to 2008. They helped with my trip to GenCon in 2008. Thoroughly enjoyed writing for them
Scyre Magazine – The parent company of Scyre bought Gaming Report and I ended up writing a few articles for them, which I actually got paid for!
The Gamers Codex – Justus Production’s (failed) game review and news site that I tried to head up. I could not get enough reviewers and could not get enough incentive for people to write. At the same time, more people prefer to see video reviews and that’s probably where we should have gone.
Protodimension Magazine – A wrote a few Dark Conspiracy articles for this award nominated online Fazine.
FASA Games, Inc. Fading Suns Noble Armada Rule book – Flavor text for The Hazat. One of my favorite settings.
