The fine folks over at Dragon+ Magazine have interviewed me for a new segment titled “The Best of the Dungeon Master’s Guild.” In my interview, I discuss my thoughts on dmsguild.com, Battle for the Undercity, and my other upcoming new releases in the gaming industry.
Thanks to John Houlihan and all the fine folks at Wizards of the Coast for their continued support of my work. Hope you enjoy the interview!
In the wake of Orlando’s tragedy, I’m terrified that we will forget there is something writers can do. Here, Henry Lien expresses his intent much better than I ever could.
Here’s something I can do in the aftermath of Orlando. I’m a children’s author. I’m also a gay person of color. I’m always going to include LGBT characters and people of color in my books. I’m going to ally myself with enlightened gatekeepers like my agent at ICM Tina Dubois Wexler and my editor at Razorbill/Penguin Random House Tiffany Liao, who support me in this. I’m going to work even harder and push myself to write the best books I possibly can in order to get my work to the widest audience possible. I will remain visible to people who want me to be invisible and who rage because history is rightfully leaving them behind. YOU CAN’T STOP THE FUTURE, YOU CAN ONLY DECIDE IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE PART OF IT.
Love,

Today, I am pleased to announce the release of Ghouls & Revenants for Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition.
By Blood It Is Done
Bound by their masters’ blood, ghouls serve the undead and fight their battles in the shadows. Dragged, seduced, or forced into the night, ghouls live at the whims of their masters–for better or for worse.
By Blood It Is Made Anew
Revenants are twisted and unique. They have vampiric powers and extended life, as well as a form of the Beast all their own. Crafted by blending ghouls with dark magic, Revenants have become something else altogether.
Ghouls & Revenants includes:
I hope you enjoy this nuanced perspective on ghouls and revenants for Vampire: The Masquerade!
Today, I am pleased to announce the open call for Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition. I will be using the existing Submission Guidelines and program that’s in place for all Onyx Path Publishing‘s game lines, and will be reviewing submissions within the next 60-90 days.
In my post on the Onyx Path website, I talk about thoughts on hiring for this monster-hunting game line and share the link to the open submissions and what my inspiration is for this core rule book.
I look forward to building my team for the Second Edition of Hunter: The Vigil, and encourage you to apply if you’re interested.
You have seen it. You have felt it. The dream where you are falling, falling, and you cannot see the ground but you know it is there waiting. You may try to brace yourself, you may try to force yourself awake—you do anything to avoid the impact that keeps rushing toward you.
The Seelie Court is the realm of the hidden, the rumored, and the unknown. Fairies, spirits, and enchanted creatures mingle there, building alliances, plotting, scheming, toying with the realm of humans—and with each other. The court has long held a distant attachment to the material plane, influencing it like a dream influences our waking hours. But now a new connection has emerged, allowing humans to infiltrate the courts and influence its proceedings. At a time when magical power is ever in the rise, the mix of human and fae could set both worlds into a calamitous plunge, and no one will want to be awake when they hit bottom.
Today, I am pleased to announce that I co-developed an alternate setting for the Shadowrun RPG with Jason Hardy. And, the first of my design posts for this book just went live! Over the course of the next several weeks, you’ll learn more about what’s in the book, who’s writing it, and how fun this’ll be for runners.
