Hi,

I've posted a new entry to my blog here. What kind of art do you like to see in city sourcebooks?

Cheers

Aliens are REAL, Bigfoot/Yetis are REAL, and the Great Pyramid of Giza was really a nuclear power plant. Real talk. Read more about it here:

Also has an experimental program for learning to draw, by focusing on the anatomy of elves, orces, dwarves, goblins, aliens etc. Very interesting method if I do say so myself, so if you like drawing check it out. :)

The previous link I posted to the new cover poll for The Vampire's Apprentice is not correct. Sorry about that. The correct one follows. Many thanks for voting.

There's another round of polling to really, really, really finally, ultimately decide on the cover for the ebook republication of The Vampire's Apprentice. Once again, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Hi, everybody. I could use your help. My horror novel The Vampire's Apprentice is being republished as an ebook, and there's a poll running to choose the cover. You can see the entries and vote here:

In 1984, following a lead from my older brother, I submitted to TSR a Dungeon that I created. Maps, descriptions, art, NPC's, it was the making of a DM (at the ripe age of 10). Now, after being both a player, as well as a DM, I have TONS of sketches, artwork, materials, etc. While following everything from the work on an owl bear to the sexism in D&D, it occured to me; with everything from Playtesting, polling, forums, blogs etc., what else can we do to help incorporate our material to the future of the game we have loved for over 20 years (or more)?


While not being an official staffer of WOtC, I would love to be able to submit material, be assigned a random monster to help evaluate for DnDN, etc. Of course WOtC would have final approval, etc. I would love to leave a lasting mark, and...

There was a lot of responses to my piece of sexism in D&D art, published last week.  People responded in the comments, my inbox, and on twitter.

One of the more frequent counterpoints was that cheesecake art was a part of the history of the game and a convention of the genre, that D&D has always had the cheesecake art and underlying tone of sex. Which implies the two are one and the same, that you cannot have D&D without the thin piecrust of sexism and objectification lurking underneath. Or that by making D&D sexless you’d be removing some subtle or ineffable part of the game.

I disagree. Completely.
