Are you interested in being a part of my wacky D&D world tour? I wanted to write a little about how it’s going to work moving forward, and what I need to know to get you on my list. You can reach me at Keith (at) Bossythecow.com. My goal with HDWT is to meet gamers from as many different walks of life as possible. As a result, I need to know something about your story. If I’ve got seven different invitations to your city, what makes you different? I’m looking for answers to the following questions: Who are you? What’s your name, general age, and occupation? Do you have...

One of my main goals with Have Dice Will Travel is play with as wide a spectrum of gamers as possible… both geographically and sociologically. We’re burdened with the image of the socially inept gamer living in his parents’ basement, and I want to show just how diverse gamers are. We’re students and soldiers, programmers and executives, cashiers and artists. And, for that matter, strippers and porn stars. Some of you may already be familiar with Zak Sabbath’s blog Playing D&D With Porn Stars or the Escapist series I Hit It With My Axe. This weekend I had a chance...

In theory I return from Australia today… but there’s dust storms in the city that may play havoc with my flight.  Overall, the trip has been a mixed experience. My goal in traveling is to meet interesting people and see inspiring places, and I certainly accomplished the first part of that. My hosts in both Sydney and Brisbane were wonderful, and I met other interesting people at GenCon Oz. But due to my novel deadlines, I really didn’t get out to see much of the surrounding area. It’s my fault; it’s simply been harder to write while traveling than I’d hoped,...

I’ve been to many interesting places over the past few months, from Seattle to Slovakia. On the 9th of August, I returned to Colorado. A few days later I set off again for GenCon Indy – one of the largest gaming conventions in the US. Once upon a time, I used to go to these conventions to play games and have fun. I can still remember my very first GenCon, when Gary Gygax signed my copy of The Temple of Elemental Evil. These days I don’t have much time to play games. Instead I’m the one signing books. As a freelancer, GenCon also provides an important opportunity to network...

Hey all. I’m still in Germany, working on my novel and getting ready to start the trek back to the US. I’ll be going to GenCon in just over a week, and I hope I’ll have a chance to catch up with people there. It’s always busy, and I have some business to deal with and work to do while I’m there, as is almost always the way. I’m going to make Thursday evening my general hanging-out evening – following the Eberron seminar, I’d like just take time to hang out with anyone who’d like to talk about Eberron or anything else. If you’re going to...

I’m busy working on my novel, but I wanted to share this important news bulletin I saw when I was in Edinburgh!

I’ve left Sweden, and settled in at my home for the next week here in Germany. Unfortunately, I’m going to be spending this week hammering away on my current Thorn of Breland novel. As a result, I’m not going to be able to meet up with the various people who have extended invitations to me in Germany, and I also won’t have much time to fill in the blanks on my blog. But I do plan to get to both as soon as I can! I’m also hoping to get some gaming articles up, or at least collect a few of my longer posts from other sites. So, it may be quiet for the next few days, but...

I’ve been traveling for about three months now. I’ve met fascinating people and seen amazing things. Unfortunately, between my breakneck pace and the fact that I’m trying to work on a novel while traveling, I don’t have too much time for blogging. I’ve already filled an entire notebook, and I’ve nearly run out of space on my hard drive with all the pictures I’ve been taking. I certainly intend to tell some of those past stories as time permits. At the moment, it’s late; I’m heading to Germany tomorrow; and I need to be thinking about that novel....
