the pretty white ships that i’ve been dreaming of
ByWil1] My manager and I have an understanding that I’m primarily focused on writing at the moment, so he can put his time and energy into his other clients who are full-time actors, while keeping an eye out for parts like NUMB3RS, where I have a better than average shot to nail the audition.[… For the next couple of days, I spent a lot of time thinking about how that happened, and I had to face an uncomfortable reality: maybe I was so out of practice, and so focused on writing (instead of acting), maybe I just don’t have what it takes to be a successful on-camera actor anymore. … I guess the logic here is that you get more chances to score when you take more shots, which makes a certain amount of sense, but in practice is pretty frustrating for actors who keep getting sent out for roles that they have no chance of booking.

ByWilThe second episode of the Penny Arcade D&D podcast is online, so if you’ve been shivering with antici…pation since we rolled for initiative last week, grab yer boots and get ready to dance:
…Overwhelming strike , (Jim’s) magic missile , scorching burst , and even the legendary d12 are all employed in the battle… to various degrees of effectiveness.
… If you’re subscribed to the podcast in iTunes, you won’t miss a single episode, but if you don’t go to the homepage at WotC, you’ll miss the awesome artwork that Mike and Scott have made to go with each episode, and nobody wants that.in which i fail a vital saving throw
ByWilI’ve done this convention thing for a long time, so I knew that it was unlikely that I’d have a chance to say more than three words to Jeph before the convention was over. … He’s done this convention thing before, and, like me, knows that when someone calls out your name at the end of the day it’s best to pretend you didn’t hear them so you can just get the hell out of the hall and to a place where you can recover your hit points. … Maybe he wouldn’t want to talk to me if we were trapped in an elevator, but I knew the security guards were closing in, and if I could get into his Circle of Protection: Exhibitor, maybe I could stay there for a couple of minutes.

ByWilHere’s a stupid cell phone video I made with Chris right before we did the @nerdist podcast at Smodcastle last night.
senses working overtime
ByWilAs I read the Keep on the Borderlands, and I crawled through the Caves of Chaos for the first time in 25 years, I let my imagination take over. I could see the same places I visited when I was a kid. I could see the wide and winding dirt road, coiled around towering mountains and steep cliffs, that I traveled from the Keep to the caves
well, at least i got a good story out of it…
ByWilMy table in the vendor's room at the Phoenix Comicon was right next to Aaron Douglas. Aaron is a good friend, and he knows that I'm a huge fan of his show and admirer of his work. He also knows that I'm way behind on BSG (near the end of season 3) so he's made…

She should have been tipped off that he was a deep one.
Damn funny. Poor Cthulhu, it’s entirely possible he was there just to shop and got caught up in the wrong situation.
Err… hate to tell you, but you have some spam bots above, Alisa Terry is one of those fling dot com bots. Just thought I’d let you know so you can release Cthulhu unto her.
Yay for that! Am watching you at German TV and you were just hit by a car, since you played a very evil guy. So there are also many weirdos on TV! 😉
And this warning comes just after I accept the first date from someone I have met online. That’s it. I’m not going.
Are we absolutely sure this is all Cthulhu’s fault and not the Flying Spaghetti Monster? I mean, obviously these girls have gone insane so it could be a case of mistaken identity. . .
Cthulhu got to me at an early age and sunk his meat-hooks into me. Now I vacillate between a happy medium of in- and sanity. Learn from my mistake kids! NEVER mix Cthulhu mythos with cuddly things like duckies! NEVER!! … I want to be the only one! o_o
Just what are you getting at, Wil? The whole issue with having to deal with what you had originally thought was a innocuous fan that ended up being a really huge pain in the ass that has continuously busted your balls over the course of a five year period?
All joking aside though, I once met a guy on the interwebz that turned out to be a complete stalker. That was terrifying, to say the least. Definitely not an experience I’d care to repeat.
Have you ever had any problems with a mentally unstable, stalker-like fan? Not the douches who used to send you hate mail and death threats when you were a kid, I’m talking about the scare-the-living-crap out of you kind of stalker fan. It’s had to have happened to you at least once, right?
