Fourth Edition Core Rules


D&D Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual
Wizards of the Coast, June 2008
Um, yeah, I was one of the lead designers for Fourth Edition, and played a significant part in the design, development, and writing of all three books. Here they are, available for pre-order.

Rules Compendium, October 2007


Rules Compendium
Wizards of the Coast, October 2007
Chris Sims did a phenomenal job compiling this celebration of the Third Edition rules. I wrote a few sidebars illuminating the text, as it were.

The Forge of War, June 2007


The Forge of War
Wizards of the Coast, June 2007
A cool Eberron sourcebook about the Last War and its repercussions in the "present" of the campaign setting. I focused on mechanical bits while managing Wolf and Ari in their work on the book. Alex Jurkat did a monumental editing/development job for this book, and I applaud him.
Kudos to whoever it was at GenCon this year who suggested we do an espionage-focused sourcebook, a "cold war" sort of thing, and call it The Fridge of War.

Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave, March 2007


Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave
Wizards of the Coast, March 2007
Co-authored with a D&D design dream team: Rich Baker, Bruce Cordell, Dave Noonan, and Matt Sernett. This is the first in a three-part adventure series that ushers in some significant changes in the Forgotten Realms. The keep with all the lizards is my responsibility.

Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, October 2006


Expedition to Castle Ravenloft
Wizards of the Coast, October 2006
Co-authored with the awesome Bruce Cordell, this is a complete overhaul and massive expansion of the classic adventure (not the whole campaign setting). It launched a short line of adventures featuring a new encounter format (goal: everything you need to run an encounter on one or two pages), and intended to be used as mini-campaigns. I think of it almost like an instanced dungeon in World of Warcraft: It's a site you can return to again and again on different quests. Only, I hope it changes more than an instance does.

In the Claws of the Tiger, July 2006


In the Claws of the Tiger
Wizards of the Coast, July 2006
My first novel! Book 3 in the War-Torn series is unconnected to the other War-Torn novels, and only loosely tied to the Last War. You should read this book.

Secrets of Xen'drik, July 2006


Secrets of Xen'drik
Wizards of the Coast, July 2006
I was the freelance-wrangler for this one. I tried to be more hands-on for this than I'd been with some of the other books I've done that for, and I'm quite pleased with the results—even if I had nothing to do with them.

"Call of the Silver Flame," April 2006


"Call of the Silver Flame"
in Tales of the Last War, Wizards of the Coast, April 2006
This is a short story that serves as sort of a prelude to In the Claws of the Tiger. Not counting the bits on the web site, this is my first published fiction, and I'm very proud of it. Dania ir'Vran, the hero of the story, is a character who seems to be sticking with me even now.

Player's Guide to Eberron, January 2006


Player's Guide to Eberron
Wizards of the Coast, January 2006
I really like this book, as a combination of an encyclopedic resource about Eberron suitable for a player's introduction along with new information and mechanical bits. The book was a bit of an experiment, in that I did all my design work in InDesign (instead of Microsoft Word) and put all the freelancers' contributions into InDesign as well, meaning I spent a lot of time worrying about copyfit. I'd never done that before, and it was a pain. That layout designed around 2-page spreads is cool in the final product, but it's hard work making it happen. I wish we (and our audience) were more tolerant of white space.

White Plume Mountain (revised), December 2005


White Plume Mountain (Revised)
Adventure on wizards.com, December 2005
I had the pleasure of writing a revision of the classic, original White Plume Mountain adventure with Andy Collins and Gwen Kestrel. This one is a tie-in to Weapons of Legacy, and includes stats for all three weapons (Wave, Whelm, and Blackrazor) as legacy weapons. Very cool stuff. And then Andy turned around and ran me through it a year and a half later...

"The Eyes of Gith," October 2005


"The Eyes of Gith"
Short story on wizards.com, October 2005
Another short story, along the lines of "At the Wellspring." I really like this one, too, as an example of the kinds of horror we're talking about in the book. The kind with githyanki in it.
