Ok, as many of you know, Paul will be attending the North Texas RPG Con.

He has signed up for all the "events" (BBQ, Breakfast, Reaper Mini Tour) , but I wasn't sure if he was actually going to take the time to be at the Con the whole weekend since one of his original emails stated he planned to there Friday night.

So after emailing him for better clarification, I also asked about what item he was looking to donate to the raffle, since he mentioned bringing an item.

Here is his latest response (we will probably put any items he brings on RPGMarketPlace.com when the time comes - save all the eBay fees). Hope the items he mentions are interest to those that follow Paul's work

Doug:

My intent is to hang out as much as possible that weekend. I plan to drive in from Rockwall.

I definitely want to contribute to the support of the con with some art to auction off. I need to sort through some of my older pieces ... e.g.; from the Judges Guild period. I still have a few pieces of that around and it seems somehow appropriate ... or if I still have them, one of the covers I did for old Michicons (late 70s).

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Shane,

We will have lots of cameras around.

I will be hooking up a notebook with a live WebCam maybe 2 to run all day, it should be on a 3G connection, so if we have a good signal there, a number of people can connect at once. I'll have a URL setup at that time, most likely webcam1.ntrpgcon.com and/or webcam2.ntrpgcon.com.

We will also have a digital video camera on a tri-pod that can record about 56 hours of video to the internal hard drive, so I plan to tape the entire Con and get snap shots form it later. I am sure we will be holding up items in front of various cameras all day to get some shots.

Also, closeups and/or scans will be placed on RPGMarketPlace.com once they get online as well.

Here are other email from Paul about the Con:

Doug:

I'll be happy to talk about anything from Judges Guild to Microsoft, from The Dungeoneer to Halo Wars.

I may also plug the Guildhall at SMU ... not because the attendees are interested in how to get into the game industry, but because everyone knows a child, grandchild, neice/nephew, neighbor kid who wants to know how to break in.

Signing stuff simply goes with the territory.

What I WON'T be able to do is run games. I haven't played or run a traditional RPG in at least 7 years (more like 15 ... other than a few sessions in Sandy Petersen's RQ games), and am sadly, sadly out of practice.

I can also bring a few pieces of vintage art just to show (stuff that may have last been shown at some distant GenCon), and definitely contirbute something for the raffle.

I currently plan on attending Friday evening. I'm going to commute to the convention, rather than stay in Bedford, though.

i think Paul sounds like an ideal candidate to play in one of my games.....

Absolutely, I would like to read that.

Sorry, not me. I am a very poor collector.  
In more ways than one too.  
There are others here who might be able to help though.

I'd love to see an English version of that interview, and maybe publish it in Fight On! someday. Paul is on the list of people we'd like to dedicate an issue to, so if you could give me his contact information or pass mine on to him (calithena at gmail dot com; www.fightonmagazine.com) I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

email sent with the interview.
