Personal Victory: Ken Hite Review
Since I've been a fan of Ken Hite's Out of the Box column for substantially longer than I've been a publisher, it's impossible to overestimate how psyched I am that he reviewed Masters and Minions Horde Book 2 in the latest installment.
Now, this is not strictly a personal victory, since that's Brian's book rather than my own. But I've been friends with Brian since we were ten, so I feel perfectly ready to share in his triumph.
The Forge can & should share as well: Ken picked up our books while visiting the Forge booth at Gen Con , and even though we showed up in his d20-themed column rather than the new indie hotness one, I imagine we got more attention from him because of our participation in the Forge community than we would have if we were just a publisher out of nowhere.
Woo hoo!

Congratulations! That, with being a guest of honor at GenCon SoCal -- I imagine a year from now I'll have "known you when."

Well, B3 has been pretty successful in generating the "fame" part of the equation - "fortune" is more elusive!
The SoCal GOH thing was just a function of being in the right place (on the GPA mailing list) at the right time (when they needed people to volunteer for the panels RIGHT AWAY - I had to scrounge up a picture, write a description, etc. in a few hours).
The government-sponsored trip to Korea isn't so easy to explain. Have a website that translates misleadingly into Korean, I guess.
Anyway, it's good to know people here both "when", now, and in the increasingly strange future!
