Recently, I was interviewed by James over at Grognardia. It was a lot of fun! You can read it here, if you are interested:

Glad to see he interviewed a real game designer with something valuable and interesting to contribute about Lovecraft - unlike some of his other interview subjects.

Ha! I appreciate that.

I'm sure you'll also appreciate the fact that I edited my comment to not name names (as I was going to originally).

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it before, but the reason I bought the game and became involved in Hyperborea in the first place is because I saw the review on Grognardia in October of 2012. So you have James M. to "thank" for that.

Oh, cool, now I have someone to blame for this decade plus of madness! ;)

I honestly forgot that guy existed after his self-imposed exile. Still suspect of him, regarding his opinions of old-school D&D.
