Pocktoberfest
Now, an important part of being a writer is understanding when and how to relax and this weekend sees the fourth annual Pocktoberfest. Looks like there are some might fine real ales on show and I hope to be sampling one or two as part of my relaxation therapy. If you live in the area, …
Plotting Talk
I gave a talk on plotting last night at a meeting of York Writers. I was pretty nervous, as many of the writers have been published, and wondered how they would take what I had to say. Thankfully, they all seemed to enjoy it and it fired up some interesting discussion afterwards, which resulted in …
More Mr. Smoozles
The second of the new strips with art by Stefano has just gone up onto the Mr. Smoozles site. It feels a little strange seeing someone else “handle” my characters, but as long as Stefano continues to do a great job I’ll be happy.
Re-Introducing Mr. Smoozles
Mr. Smoozles makes a comeback with a new strip today! Artist Stefano Collavini contacted me a few weeks ago about the possibility of drawing the strip. It’s taken him a little while to fully get into the characters (much of that being that I’m a picky sod ove my characters) but we’re at last up …
More Leipzig Photos
Here are some more general photos, but there’s one of me and “Sunny”, too.
Leipzig Photos
Marek, over at Adventure Gamers, has a photo-article up on the AG site. The pictures are pretty cool and I like Marek’s comment about my pockets – where would an adventure developer be without George Stobbart Pockets?

The Leipzig Games Convention
It’s been a few days since I returned from the convention, so I thought it was high time I wrote down a few thoughts before what’s left of my cell-depleted brain decides to lose them altogether. The first thing that struck me was the size. The convention centre was HUGE. I’d been told how big …
Famous in Japan (kind of)
I was just passed on a link to an article about So Blonde on the Japanese website 4Gamer.net. I have no idea what it says. Now, if only they’d taken a better picture of me. 🙂
This is wonderful!
A fabulously witty commentary on certain aspects of the games industry. And a great way of showing support for one of the best games ever – Psychonauts.
GC in Leipzig
I’m going to be in Leipzig for three days of the GC. If any of you are going, why not drop by the Anaconda booth – Halle 2, Stand F40. I’ll be there on Thursday 3pm and Friday 4pm for a presentation and signing session. The rest of the time I’m going to be in …
