IMPORTANT NOTE - Figure I should point this
out here, rather than in the Policy section of the main page. If I don't
have a piece of information on my page, there's a good chance I don't know,
or I know and have agreed to keep it secret. I don't leave stuff off this
page for capricious reasons, after all. About the only stuff I do know and
leave off for non-secret reasons is information I think is better handled on
www.bwtf.com, such as info about the show.
Just so you know, if you email me a question, you'll probably get one of the
following five answers:
- I don't know, sorry.
- It's a secret, I can't tell, sorry.
- That's on bwtf.com.
- That's on my page, in the (whatever) section.
- There's information out there, but I don't trust it.

REMINDER - If you're on AOL (or any other ISP
with such things) and have parental controls set, I can't reply to your email
unless you put my address on your "okay" list. Otherwise it just bounces.
I've been getting a number of bounces lately. In general, if you ask a
question (rather than just reporting a sighting) and I don't get back to you
in a couple days, assume that I tried emailing you and got a bounce.
TF ART COMMISSIONS: Unreal
Books is acting as agent for several "official" TF artists, if you've
been meaning to commission some work but can't make it out to a convention to
do so in person. As of 3/7/08, the roster includes Frank Milkovich, Alex
Milne, and a few superhero artists I've never heard of.
HASBRO REBATE FEB/MARCH 2008 - Check your
Sunday paper's ads for a two-page spread from Hasbro. All products in
selected brands (Transformers included) are eligible for a rebate, save your
receipts from now through March 23, 2008. Maximum rebate is $50 for $150+ in
qualifying purchases. The rebate isn't cash, though, it's a gift certificate
for HasbroToyShop.com. Still, consider that by the time you get the
certificate in the mail, Animated toys will be available.... The form is
also available online.
ONLINE DEALS NOTE - 11/15/05 - I don't intend
to keep track of things like coupon codes that give a discount on toys, but I
encourage you to go to Hot Deals Club and
submit any you find. It's a good site to keep an eye on, and if you all
start submitting online coupon codes you find, it'll be even more useful for
us.
MORE HYPE - 5/1/03 - RoboMACs, my giant robot
RPG, is now available as a PDF at RPGnow.com
alongside Modern Knights. Trent Troop did the CGI cover art, and his partner
Ron did most of the interiors. A hardcopy version will follow eventually.
The original Transformers-ish setting book can be found here.
HYPE - 1/6/03 - My superhero RPG, Modern
Knights, is now available for sale as a PDF at RPG.net
Mall for $10. Still waiting on a few final pieces of art before we can
put up RoboMACs, my giant robot RPG. Hardcopies will come later, once the
current crisis in small publisher distribution is sorted out. 4/1:
Update - The previous link still works, but we're unlikely to get paid for
any sales through it (long story involving a distributor going down the
hoooole). RPGnow.com
Now carries the PDF as well, and will soon have RoboMACs (the final
cover is done, yay!).
