Where In The World Is Jay Dragon?
Hi folks, it's Jay here! I'm extremely honored to be traveling to Auburn University in a week as a visiting artist. It's a really exciting opportunity, and I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Emily Friedman for inviting me and having me as a guest. I'll be giving a talk on Thursday,...
A Dictionary Of Chivalry
Where was this book when I was eight years old? Or even when I was an active member of the Society for Creative Anachronism? It's hugely informative but also marvelously readable. Sure, it's alphabetized, and you can look things up, but it begs to be read from cover to cover . ....

Covers I Love – Steve Jackson Edition
I have a lot of favorites, but my favorite favorite may very well be GURPS Time Travel. John Zeleznik outdid himself on this one, with a futuristic super-soldier facing down a cinematically oversized Triceratops. It doesn't hurt that the book completely delivers on the cover's promise. I got to work...
