I'm 58 today, and I feel damn lucky to have set a new personal record for consecutive trips around the sun — and to be able to spend time with so many wonderful friends and family in my life while I did it.

i cannot get over how funny the moderation tag on this is

I made it back home from Gen Con, and whoa, I am beat. I had a jam-packed, amazing, wonderful time at the show, and I'll report more on it all once I get a full night's sleep.

Wow, Gen Con is so great. 45 years in a row for me, and I stil absolutely love it!

Congrats to @mischieftoy.com and to this year’s Emerging Designer Program Winners too! We had a wonderful time last night.

The Diana Jones Award@dianajonesaward.org · 6d ago

Congratulations to the good folks at @mischieftoy.com on winning this year’s Diana Jones Award! More details at www.dianajonesaward.org.

Heading out to Gen Con! Tonight I host the Diana Jones Award party, and I can't wait to see so many wonderful folks, both tonight and all weekend long! Let's play!

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Once again, I’m off to my favorite event of the year: Gen Con! I’ve gone to it every year since Gen Con XV back in 1982, which makes this my 45th year in a row. In other news, I ain’t getting any younger.

Gamers! As you might know, at the Diana Jones Award ceremony, I read a list of the tabletop gaming industry folks who left us in the year since the previous ceremony. While I have a heartbreakingly long list of people already for this year, I'd like some help to make sure I haven't missed anyone.

This is what they admitted to to avoid discovery, BTW. So I’m going to want any Dem running to promise to release and declassify EVERYTHING.

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

The official solicitation for the Godzilla book for the Marvel Multiverse RPG is out! It says: MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: GODZILLA WRITTEN BY MATT FORBECK, MARTY FORBECK AND PALLIE PAUL ALLOR COVER BY PACO MEDINA & JESUS ABURTOV • ART BY IG GUARA

I'm not at Comic-Con International this year, so don't look for me there. I'm missing all my pals I usually see in San Diego, but I hope to see many of you next week at Gen Con instead!

This evening, my son Kenneth Forbeck found a 26-inch walleye dead on the shore of our little lake. Probably the biggest fish I’ve ever seen here.

Happy anniversary to my wonderful and beautiful wife, Ann! We got married in my dad's backyard 34 years ago today, and it was literally the best thing that ever happened to me — and led to many other fantastic things too.

Hey that new Marvel project I mentioned? THIS IS IT! I’m making Godzilla maps! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

BIG NEWS! The King of the Monsters invades the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game this November!

One of my kids bought a 45 at an estate sale the other day, and I had to explain to them what this is.

Good luck to all the wonderful folks at Marvel, who I’ve been working with over the past five years or so. Great people doing amazing things!

Having a great time at EGG Con. Wish all you gamers were here!

We fucking told you so.

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

“The criminals this week were the ICE agents. The people they killed weren’t criminals...both were summarily executed in the street for existing while Hispanic.” @timmiller.bsky.social condemns the Trump administration after ICE agents shot and killed two men in one week.
