Want to Work for Adamant Entertainment?

I sent this announcement out to various gaming news sites and such earlier in the week, but it just occurred to me that a bunch of folks that I’d love to work with read my journal as well, so…..

Adamant Entertainment has finally ramped up to a full-time thing for me, and as such, I’m in the market for freelance writers. I’m especially looking for folks to work on our Thrilling Tales, Buccaneers & Bokor and D20 MasterKit lines….but if you’re a writer and have an idea for a new line, go ahead and talk to me about it…that’s what we did with Malcolm Sheppard and the Terminal Identity line of cyberpunk-genre products that he pitched to us.

Anyway–our submission guidelines are here. Take a look, and drop me a line.

Brand-spankin’ New User Pic

(LJ-only post, since my blogspot journal has no user pics)

Designed and uploaded a new user picture, and I wanted to show it off. The character is original, and the pic digitally created by Yours Truly.

It’s one of the “signature characters” from my Thrilling Tales game line.

Two Brilliant Artists Gone….

Yesterday, I read that Kelly Freas died on Sunday. For those who don’t know him, he was a brilliant SF artist. Here’s one of his most famous creations:

Queen used that pulp cover for the art for one of their albums, which he went ahead and re-painted for them. He was also one of the artists responsible for Mad Magazine’s Alfred E Newman.

Today, I read that Will Eisner passed away. I’m a huge Eisner fan–his textbook on the comic-book genre, Comics and Sequential Art was a major part of my education. He is, of course, best known for his creation of The Spirit:

But his graphic novels, such as A Contract With God were amazing as well–thought-provoking stuff which truly elevated the “comic book” into the realm of literature.

Both men, and their talent, will be missed.
