We got home from Indianapolis yesterday afternoon and, as you might expect, crashed hard. The SDCC + Gen Con Gauntlet is over but it's going to take several days to dig out from the sleep debt, dirty laundry, and built up correspondence that needs to be dealt with.

While I was away at SDCC, a package arrived from Utsab Chatterjee - the original painted artwork for his Conan: Tides of the Tyrant-King variant cover! This piece is stunningly rendered with incredible detail. I'm thrilled to have it in my collection!
CONAN THE BARBARIAN #33 arrived in comic shops last week kicking off our 9th story arc, Cursed Shores Beyond! What did reviewers think of it? See below: www.jimzub.com/conan-the-ba...
GEN CON 2026 is in the history books. A wonderful weekend with friends and fans. Thank you to everyone who came by and kept us energized through the four best days in gaming. @stacyking.com
It's the halfway mark on Gen Con. The show has been explosively busy and I'm feeling it, especially right after SDCC, but we are powering on. Come on by to BOOTH 1349!

Just met @samanthabeart.bsky.social at Gen Con and we chatted about the incredible effect of Baldur's Gate 3. (She's the voice actor/mocap actor for Karlach.) Stacy mentioned that I created Soul Coins when I was consulting for WotC and we laughed about how they became such a fun piece of the game.
Gang, Gen Con Day 1 was wild. One of the busiest con days I've experienced. I thought we ordered enough of Stacy's D&D Crochet books for the whole show but we sold out before the end of the first day!
Stacy King@stacyking.com · 6d agoBoth Penguin Random House and our booth sold out of Dungeons & Dragons Crochet before the end of the first day of GenCon. I am blown away by the support and we are trying to find out if we can rush ship more copies to the show (fingers crossed 🤞).

GEN CON PEOPLE: If you get a party invite from "punch bowl", even if it's from an email address you know, DO NOT LOG IN to get more details. It's a phishing scam. I got one from "Green Ronin" and called them to check details and it's not real, but there are others floating around as well.

My friend Darrin sent me a photo from the first Gen Con where I had a booth: Zubby circa 2011 Look at that baby!
A friend of mine called Kyoto AFT- "Another Fuckin' Temple" Beautiful city, but high traffic tourist spots near the train station are a crush. To get actual serenity you need to trek further. Even then, once you've seen 4-5 temples back-to-back, their majesty starts to weaken as your feet ache.
SoraNews24@soranews24.bsky.social · last wk.Kyoto is officially more popular than ever, so why don't visitors want to return?
Day and a half in LA after San Diego and now I'm heading to Indianapolis for Gen Con. The two biggest conventions of the summer back-to-back. I'm excited, but coffee is required as I shamble through the airport. Can't wait to see @stacyking.com!
A fine day at the office, then a couple impromptu signings - at Golden Apple Comics and Revenge Of Comics and Pinball!
