As I continue my series about my early design influences, I talk about how Star Trek changed my social life, and lead me into the game industry. #Games #GameDev #History #ScienceFiction #StarTrek #SpockLives #SandSprings #ItsKensFault nealhallford.com/p/from-gamer-t…

Celebrate 30 years of Heroes of Might and Magic with the Heroes of Might and Magic: 30th Anniversary Retrospective Hardcover, coming in November! Details: bit.ly/43Cme20 Learn the secrets behind the development of each main game through never-before seen art,

The pre-order page for the Heroes book is now open on Amazon: amazon.com/dp/150675130X

I won't lie, having the first paragraph of the Dark Horse official press release talk about ME was a little surprising, but I didn't hate it. 😉

Gamespot's version of the book announcement calls me "Neal Hallford, the legendary game designer." Legendary in the same sense as bigfoot: i.e. rarely seen, little evidence of my actual existence, and lots of people would like to shoot me and put me in a museum. #HoMM #Author

I’m pleased to announce that my biography of my dad, Patrick Troughton, is now available directly from Amazon globally—including USA, Europe, and Australia! I’m honoured and excited to share it with fans around the world. #DoctorWho shorturl.at/kfUHn

Introducing Fandercast's Foolish Mortals! This will be the name for my Swords & Circuity sponsored role-playing group. 🙂 (Fandercast has long been my RP handle online and off.) #RPG #Gaming #Tabletop #dnd5e #CallOfCthulhu #Traveller #Pathfinder #Runequest #Pendragon #Elric

Comic-Con Panel Approved. Something to do with a big anniversary or something. Details soon. ;)

Howdy folks! Because the publication date of my book got pushed back by a couple of weeks, the date for OVNIcon has now shifted to December 6th. Please mark your calendars accordingly. #Convention #Signing #Games #Journalism #HeroesOfMightANDMagic #SandSprings #OK

I've pretty much wrapped up my re-design of the Ulysses hero ship for Planet's Edge. You can see some of the other beauty shots and my "info card" about it on the blog. nealhallford.com/p/return-to-th… #games #indiedev #Blender #3Dmodeling

Matt Barton invited on about my forthcoming book, but got three and a half hours spanning my whole career with notable chunks about New World Computing, Betrayal at Krondor, and my in-progress indie remake of Planet's Edge. #Games #Writing #IndieDev youtube.com/watch?v=B3saIn…

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Heroes of Might & Magic, I'll be moderating a panel at Comic-Con with the people who shepherded it through its New World Computing years from Might & Magic to King's Bounty to Heroes of Might & Magic IV. #Games #ComicCon #HoMM30

While my new Heroes history book from Dark Horse won't be out until November, it's available for pre-order now! I will be floating around Soonercon this weekend with these pre-order cards that I'll sign for you, if you want 'em! #games #author

Just now Soonercon: Ethan Phillips said I asked the best / most interesting questions he's ever been asked on stage, which is amazing given all the conventions he's been a guest of. My journalism degree pays off again. :) #StarTrekVoyager #Interview #OnTheMainStage #NealOnNeelix

One of my very best friends -- and the person who dragged me into the games industry in the first place -- will be one of our guests for our upcoming OVNIcon convention on December 6th! #games #Oklahoma #Convention #3DGraphics #TulsaTech #NewWorldComputing #KingsBounty

I know these rankings are fleeting, but it's fun nonetheless. Even though it's still in pre-order, my forthcoming book Heroes of Might & Magic: 30th Anniversary Retrospective is currently #1 in the Other RPGs category on Amazon. 🙂 #Books #Author #Gaming #RPG

GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT: Novelist and audio dramatist JMLinkhart will be joining us onstage to talk about writing, worldbuilding, and her Kirkus starred novel, First Degree Magic! (OVNICON website coming soon!) #GoblinBoothProductions #Fantasy #Writer #Convention #SandSprings
