The Fellowship is pleased to present our conversation with James Venhaus, creator and writer of Night Owl Society, from IDW Publishing. We talk about the success of his book, the process of getting his first comic published, and where he may be taking it in the future. And as always, our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
RPG - character generation for a summer Deadlands game (if you're not familiar, Deadlands is Wild West with magic)
Dicemasters - learning to play, having some fun
Also watched part of a M*A*S*H marathon over Memorial Day weekend [Note: Ugly John was the gas passer; Painless was the dentist.]
