I’ll be at GameHole Con this week in Madison, WI! I’m a special guest, which means I’m running several games and doing a few other things associated with the convention, and I have some MCG events as well. Here’s my schedule as I know it so far (and note that all three of the ••• bulleted…
I just got back from Gen Con 2022, and I’ve received a few messages from people who saw me at the show, but decided to not come talk to me because I was running a game or in a conversation with other people. I appreciate everyone who is respectful about approaching others and not wanting…
If you wanna see me in person at Gen Con 2022, here’s my schedule. And I’m bringing dice from home and giving away, one per person who asks, until I run out. :) (At the bottom of this post I’ve included a modified map of the exhibit hall showing the location of the MCG booth…
(Years ago I wrote this memory of a dream, and at the time I posted it as a FB note. Anyway, I’m slowly cutting stuff from my FB page and putting it on my blog, so here we go…) I have problems sleeping.Sometimes I take melatonin to help with that.I don’t usually remember my dreams.Melatonin…

(Trivia & Anecdotes is a series of blog posts about weird and sometimes funny behind-the-scenes facts about various books I worked on. I stopped doing them in 2015 when my life went off the rails for a bit, but I’m starting them back up again!) (Lemme point out that this adventure was written in 1999,…
As my contract at Wizards of the Coast draws to a close, I’m looking at other options to take care of the bills, and one of the things I’m considering is having a Patreon. I’ve been wanting to push my creativity in different ways, and having a Patreon-style setup would definitely motivate me to create…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Just a few of kickstarters I want to talk about (and all of them are already funded!). John Wick’s 7th Sea 2nd edition kickstarter was funded almost immediately and I think it’s actually broken records for RPG kickstarter funding goals. 31 hours to go, you still have time to back…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Here’s a few kickstarters I think are worth checking out. :) • Lester Smith (creator of Dragon Dice) has a new dice game called SuperPower Smackdown • JourneyQuest season 3. Enough said! • Heroines in Sensible Shoes, a set of realistic female gaming minis • Some beautiful handcrafted wooden dice trays…
Game stores are a big deal for the RPG industry. What sort of things do you want to know about a game store that would make you decide to visit there, spend money there, and return? For example: What games do they stock? How knowledgeable are the staff about the games? Any other gamer-friendly things…
Are you going to GenCon this year? Have you read my GenCon Indy tips article? You should. :) GenCon 2015 is less than two weeks away (7/30–8/2). I meant to post these tips earlier to encourage people to physically prepare for all the walking and heavy-book-carrying… but there’s still time! Make an effort to walk a lot…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Here’s a few kickstarters I think are worth checking out. :) Blue Rose RPG — Green Ronin’s game of romantic fantasy, rebooted using the system they used for Dragon Age Legendary Planet Adventure Path — an epic “sword & planet” adventure saga for PF and 5E … and I’m writing all the…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Just a couple of kickstarters I want to talk about in the last few days of their campaigns… The Gamers: Dorkness Rising Definitive Blu-Ray Edition—already funded, with many stretch goals unlocked (including an in-character commentary with all the villains from the movie, including me!) No Thank You, Evil!—an RPG from…
Hello! Now that I’m moved, I’d like to get rid of a lot of the clutter in my apartment. Wanna buy some minis? USA recipients only, please (international shipping is just too much of a pain). Make a list of what you’re interested in, mail it to me at me @ seankreynolds.com, and I’ll put…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Curse of the Yellow Sign—three Call of Cthulhu adventures by John Wick Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove—a new videogame! For a Few Dice More—a documentary about gamers Shadow of the Demon Lord—a dark and horrific fantasy RPG by that mad fellow Rob Schwalb Dwarven Forge’s City Builder…
Only two I want to talk about today. (Yes, I backed both of these!) Grimtooth’s Ultimate Traps Collection—this collects all five of the original Grimtooth’s Traps books from the 80s and 90s into one hardcover, plus new traps and tons of already-unlocked stretch goals. If you have no idea what the original Grimtooth’s Traps books are,…
You’ve probably heard the song “Closing Time” by the band Semisonic. I saw them open for Barenaked Ladies once, and at that show they also performed a song called “DND,” which is obviously about hanging a “do not disturb” sign on a hotel room door. But they say “DND” a lot, and it sounds like…
A few years ago I typed up Sean Reynolds’s Sword of Killing Hitler as a joke example of what NOT to do for your RPG Superstar wondrous item submission. Seriously, click through and read it. Now I wonder… if I had a kickstarter where I designed (and edited, illustrated, and mapped) a 32-page adventure where you…
(Trivia & Anecdotes is a series of blog posts I’ve been meaning to make for years now about weird and sometimes funny behind-the-scenes facts about various books I worked on.) (I apologize in advance for this entry because there’s nothing particularly weird or funny about it [except perhaps the cover, see the third footnote], but…
Here’s my latest roundup. :) Stickers by Stan! ends in a day! I mentioned it earlier on Twitter and Facebook, but here it is in the blog post Numenera box set—I’m getting an empty one to put my books in :) Stones Dungeon Tiles for if you want tile-based terrain options and dungeon decor other…
