I’m Monte Cook. I’ve been a writer for 25 years. Most of that time, I’ve designed tabletop roleplaying games, but I’ve also published novels, short stories, comics, and nonfiction. Feel free to check out my blog, The Chapel Perilous, my various projects, or my two different game publishing imprints, Monte Cook Games and Malhavoc Press.
In the Numenera Kickstarter, I had a backer level called On-line Gamer. The people backing at that level get to, among other things, request a specific article written by me, here. Backer Sean Bradley is an aspiring author who's written a book, and is working on the two-follow up books, and would like to go about getting it published. He asked me to write about the topic.
We are happy to announce that Numenera will have a nice presence at this year's GenCon, August 15-18.
When I created my Kickstarter for Numenera, one of the backer levels was called On-Line Gamer. Among the rewards was that I would write a blog post on the topic of the backer's choosing. Backer J Aaron Farr asked me to write about the use of technology in traditional rpg play. Specifically, he thinks that many rpg companies are a bit behind the times embracing technology.
I think adventures are important for many reasons.
