A short note to let you all know that I have decided to stop representing Kobold Quarterly (published by Wolfgang Baur) and Level Up! Magazine (published by Goodman Games) in order to pursue other opportunities in 2010.

A retailer asked me for help reaching out to the gamers in their area. I responded with a the following suggestions (partially edited):

I’ll be attending a number of events between now and the end of the year. If you’re in the are, I hope to see you there:

For some reason, Facebook has decided to limit the number of people who can see your updates to 250. For those of us with more than 250 Facebook friends, this is not good. If Facebook allows 5,000 friends, wouldn’t it be nice if 5,000 people could view your updates?

I called John to tell him what I found out about the prevailing prices for PDFs in the 96-page and 128-page range. 

John and I decided we need to find a new home for this project. We also talked about money, doing market research, and putting hard-core development on hold until we can integrate Jess into the mix.

NOTE: This email is part of the Transparent Publishing experiment John Wick and I are playing with.

John and I talked about some higher-level stuff; the game’s going to be about moral choices. We riffed about some crunchy stuff, such as alignment, favors, and social combat. Right now, John’s contacting Jess Heinig to see if he’ll be our system monkey. Fingers crossed.

John and I decided some more stuff. We’ll be using our blogs, instead of email, to send messages to back and forth. We’ve also decided what we’ll be writing about and, tentatively, what system we’ll be using.

John Wick and I are starting an experiment.
