Hey guys, the same folks that did the MHI Employee Handbook and RPG have just launched a new Kickstarter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/herogames/fantasy-hero-complete
So if you picked up the MHI RPG, and want to be able to expand that into traditional fantasy stuff, check this out. Or if you just want to pick up a new fantasy RPG. Either way, they’re a great bunch of guys to work with.
John Brown spent 7 days in a car with the International Lord of Hate and lived to tell the tale: https://www.johndbrown.com/i-spent-7-days-in-a-car-with-larry-correia-international-lord-of-hate-and-lived-to-tell-about-it/
I would say he is mostly factually correct. 🙂
I only wore 2 guns on that trip. My Kimber/Bul Poly .45 and a little Kahr MK9. I broke my roommate’s toe and he broke my nose, not the other way around. And that beef jerky was really gross.

They just put up information about the new Baen Fantasy Awards.
This is a short story contest. All of the details are at this link: http://www.baen.com/baenfantasyaward.asp
I am one of the judges. No. Don’t try to suck up. I won’t see any of the writer’s names. 🙂
What we want to see: Adventure fantasy with heroes you want to root for. Warriors either modern or medieval, who solve problems with their wits or with their sword–and we have nothing against dragons, elves, dwarves, castles under siege, urban fantasy, damsels in distress, or damsels who can’t be bothered to be distressed.
What we don’t want to see: Political drama with no action, angst-ridden teens pining over vampire lovers, religious allegory, novel segments, your gaming adventure transcript, anything set in any universe not your own, “it was all a dream” endings, or screenplays.
The winners will be honored at GenCon.
Boom. I’m on a roll. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/04/29/the-politics-of-science-fiction/
Pretty fair write up all things considered. To show that I’m biased however, he links to THE CHECKLIST. 😀
Best part is from the comments, when somebody points out that the link they used to demonstrate my detractors begins with: Trigger warning: slurs, ableism, racism, sexism, transmisogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, anti-semitism, colonialism.
Yes, that certainly sounds like a Special and Unique Snowflake.
This was rather unexpected.
