It even inspired me to try and compile some of my own gaming stories and lore! Well worth the cost...I think it's a neat addition to my gaming library. Congrats on the excellent book!
    Yeah what he said. It is really good and I'm just about to read it again. Being one of those people who didn't grow up then and wanting to know the history, thanks for all the insightful knowledge.

    This rules so very much! I'm glad you guys are enjoying Rob's awesomeness!

    And hey, if you want to recommend the book to anyone else... please do so! We're hoping to spread this thing mostly by word of mouth, so any help that we can get to promote it will be much appreciated. ^_^
    That's it! Next stop: The Junkyard. Population: You!

    You're welcome, and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

    To echo Mike's post, word of mouth is pretty much the only way we have at the moment to promote this. I am working on a few other ideas, but nothing concrete at the moment.

    Sadly, I will not be appearing at Momocon this month, due to yet another major upheaval in my life. In fact, I won't be online much for the remainder of the month either for the same reason. Or even in the state of Georgia much longer.

    So, anyone know of any gaming events coming up in the New England area that I might be interested in attending?

    BTW, thanks to all that have bought a copy of the book so far. I'd love to hear your feedback if you'd like to share it (thanks to those that already have, of course).

    Any chance to get a sample story of lore on your website to read?

    That's certainly not out of the question... I may have to implement that when I have time. In the meantime, you can check out a preview here, plus the roughs for a few of the stories are linked earlier in this thread.

    I refuse to make any more announcements like this one. If anyone here is going, I may very well see you there!

    Been a few days, but I'm back.

    Momocon was great. I really enjoyed it, and getting to be on the retrogaming panel was a great experience. Too bad most people wanted to ask questions about retro PC titles and (oddly) new stuff.

    Hopefully I sold a few people on the book too.

    I got my copy a few weeks back (I'm in the UK) & I'm really enjoying it. Out of interest, are most of your orders for the US or is your book going worldwide?

    Glad you're enjoying it! As far as I know, most of my orders are coming from the US. I don't believe Lulu gives us stats like that to check, but I can look into it.
