Author Spotlight: Jodi L. Milner, Author of Stonebearer’s Betrayal

Posted by Rampant Coyote on November 2, 2018

Unsurprisingly, I have a lot of writer friends these days, to go along with all my game developer friends. (Side note: It’s also interesting how often those two groups intersect). I met Jodi when we were both writing stories for anthologies from Xchyler Publishing. Xchyler’s authors were scattered all over the globe, but somehow we […]

Beyond the Wail Blog Tour: L. K. McIntosh

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 14, 2015

What is it about fear and the unknown that pulls so passionately at the human heart? Perhaps we are drawn not to the darkness itself, but to the resolution, the overcoming of what we most deeply dread. After all, the more terrible the struggle, the greater the victory when it comes at last. Presented in […]

Rampant Coyote Interview at RPGWatch

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 2, 2015

I’ve got an interview over at RPGWatch today. Check it out! As you’d expect, it’s mainly about gaming and game-making, but there’s a little bit about my writing as well. I’m actually a little afraid to re-read it right now. I can’t recall my state of mind when I answered Couchpotato’s questions, but I suspect I […]

Lessons learned from 22 years of making indie RPGs

Posted by Rampant Coyote on February 19, 2015

Jeff Vogel is something of a personal hero of mine. Nope, I’ve never met him (just know a lot of people who have), though we’ve exchanged a couple of emails and forum posts over the years. I can’t even say I’m a giant fan of his games, although they are quite good. But the guy […]

The Richard Garriott Matt Chat

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 25, 2013

Matt interviews Richard “Lord British” on Matt Chat! Don’t tell me you haven’t been wanting this one forever, even if some recent controversy may have dampened your enthusiasm! My only regret is that it is so heavily focused on his upcoming project that it doesn’t follow the usual format of chronologically revisiting interesting points along […]
