For those attending PAGE (the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo) in a couple weeks, due to work commitments, I have had to withdraw as a guest from the event. I will be thinking of you all and I hope things better align in the future to allow me to finally make it to what I know to be a great con!

I spent the last couple weeks casually reading through this charming chrilogy(!) by the late, great Frederik Pohl and the even later Jack Williamson! Find out a bit more about these Undersea juveniles from the 50s in my latest video over on the 'Tubes: youtu.be/RivtfOw0Ef0?... #booktube #SF #books

All five of my dramatic poetry reading for Halloween are now available to enjoy on YouTube! Enjoy and have a very happy and SAFE Halloween!!! #poetry #poems #voiceacting #dramaticreading #halloween #spooky www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The first of my "Spooky Season" dramatic readings has premiered on my BookTube channel! Check out 'The Haunted House' written by Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by Arnold Lobel. I'll be dropping additional readings every Friday this month, so stay tuned for more! #halloween youtu.be/WlRHrIlcL00?...

I jumped on the 'Show Me Your DAWs' Tag bandwagon yesterday and posted my own video overview of my meager collection: youtu.be/n85-NkKTG5g #booktube #sciencefiction #books #reading #vintagepaperbacks

TTRPG fan? Savage Worlds player (or curious about Savage Worlds)? Attending ComiCon Erie in a few weeks??? I'll be running a few sessions of the Savage World of Flash Gordon and you could join me at the table! More info to come, so watch this "OUTER" space!!! ⚡🚀🎲 #SavageWorlds #TTRPG #ComiconErie

Four weeks from today (September 12-14), I'll be with my better half in Erie, PA for ComiCon Erie! She'll be chatting and signing photos and Funko Pops at her table while I'll be wandering the convention floor, buying goodies, and meeting up with attendees. Who will I be seeing there? #comicconerie😀

My post-Trek to Vegas video is now up on YouTube! In this latest video, I chat a bit about the show, share some of the Trek books I acquired, and show off a few recent book hauls as well. #booktrek #booktube youtu.be/OWRBZR4AYkY?...

It's here! My very first BookTube video! Still a few things to iron out on the production side, but I figured I should just post something now before I waste even MORE time fiddling with the tech. Enjoy and please help spread the word. "Roll that beautiful book footage!" youtu.be/OmswGh49CYM

With just a few days left for this month's "Rocket Summer" reading event, I managed to add a couple really crisp Ace Doubles to my collection thanks to William Wu Books at San Diego Comic-Con! #SDCC #vintagepaperbacks #sciencefiction #rocketsummer

The Kickstarter campaign for DOOM GUARD, Pinnacle Entertainment Group's new board game, launches today at 10am Eastern! Not only is this campaign in support of a great game, it is also to help PEG release a new setting book for use with the Necessary Evil RPG! www.kickstarter.com/projects/545...

Week 3 of Rocket Summer (a classic science fiction reading event) wasn't great for me (I only completed one short novella), but hoping to get back up on the horse this week with a couple more books! Please give my blog a follow while you're there! thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/07/rock...

FYI, I will be at San Diego Comic-Con this week! If you'd like to meet up (coffee, meals, parties, etc.) or if you have a sudden vacancy on a panel and you need an RPG Designer, Doctor Who Audio Adventures Writer, Author, or Voice Actor to fill a seat, please give me a shout! #ComicCon #SanDiego

This Saturday is DCC Day (an international celebration of all things Dungeon Crawl Classics) and I'm doing my part by running a fun, 0-level funnel adventure at my FLGS, @geekyteas.bsky.social! While my game is full, look for me between 11:30 and 4! See you there! goodman-games.com/event/dcc-da...

Playing a little Rocket Summer catch up over on my blog with two brief "reviews" of 1940s-era books I read during week 2 of this reading event. I'm already two books in for this week, and I hope to have at least three or four down by the start of week 4. thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/07/rock...

We haven't seen it yet (soon!), but, as always, SUPER proud of my wildly talented better half for her work on the film! 🦸🏻‍♀️ #legacyeffects #superman #fabrication #PracticalEffects

Sad to learn of the passing of James Carter Cathcart. I worked with Jim back when I was a Writer/Producer with Kids' WB! I wrote a LOT of copy for him and directed countless VO sessions. He was extremely talented and someone who inspired me to pursue voice acting. #pokemon #cubix #kidswb #yugioh

I'm about to launch my BookTube channel(!) and in preparing for that, I've been watching other channels for MONTHS. Maybe it's just me, but if you use "AI" for your thumbnails, I simply won't click. I'm there to watch YOU talk about books, not some rubbery, samey "robot" made up of stolen art.

Always nice when one of my creations pops up in support of a great cause! Get your mitts on a copy of my most recent TTRPG, the 2024 ENNIE Award nominated 'Pinebox Middle School' for Savage Worlds in the latest MEGABUNDLE from Humble Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/roll-b...

Still a few days away from my actually posting a new video to my YouTube channel (it's coming, I swear), but until then, I just dropped my first review for Rocket Summer Week 1 over on my blog! #booksky thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/07/rock...

FYI, I will NOT be at Gen Con this year 😢. I WILL, however, be at the following conventions: STLV: Trek to Vegas 2025 (August 6-10) and ComiCon Erie (September 12-14) (wife will be signing at BOTH), and Gamehole Con (October 16-19) where I'll be running and playing games with y'all! More to come!

I'm gearing up (literally) to launch (well, "re-launch") my YouTube/BookTube channel soon! Currently only some ancient gaming videos and a couple of my old Writer/Producer demo reels (Warner Bros. & Disney), but there's some fun stuff a-comin'!!! www.youtube.com/@WildDieWood...

June on the Range 2025 has ridden off into the sunset (check out my review of 'Showdown at Sunset' over on my blog). Up next, it's Rocket Summer 2025 🚀 for the month of July where we're reading classic SF! #RocketSummer #BookSky #ReadingEvents thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/07/june...

Making plans for #GameholeCon2025 in October! Anyone else going to be there? #TTRPG #SavageWorlds #Tabletop #Conventions #GameholeCon

Just wrapped up my THIRD book for this year's June on the Range reading event. Find my brief review of 'West of the Law' by Al Cody over on my blog, and do please consider adding yourself as a Follower while you're there! thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/06/june... #westerns #juneontherange #reading

Took a drive down to the Long Beach area today to visit Planet Books (in Signal Hill) and Once Read Books! Wound up spending only $19 for NINE terrific used books including five westerns (June on the Range has inspired me to collect, what can you do?) and four vintage SF titles! 📚 #Booksky #Book

While we're all still reading westerns for this year's June on the Range reading event, I've already locked in my list in for next month's Rocket Summer event! Check it out here: thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/06/rock... #ReadingEvent #Books #sciencefiction #ArmchairFiction

Last night, I joined the Tabletop Tango guys to help them celebrate 3,000+ subscribers to their YouTube channel! Mayhem was recorded and fun was had! Much of the conversation was about Savage Worlds, but other RPGs were discussed #TTRPG #SavageWorlds #Tabletop: www.youtube.com/live/6jQlnAA...

Wrapped up my second book for this year's June on the Range reading event. Find my brief review of 'Horse Heaven Hill' by Zane Grey over on my blog: thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/06/june... #books #westerns #juneontherange #reading

The secret is out! I'm going to be a guest at next year's Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo and I could not be more excited to finally participate in this event! I have heard such great things! Hope to see you there!

I finished my FIRST book for this year's June on the Range reading event. Find my brief review of 'Silver Canyon' by Louis L'Amour on my blog: thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/06/june...

Like so many of my fellow creatives, our credits/bibliographies are easily accessible online. You can find me on IMDB, RPGGeek, DriveThruRPG, even Amazon with a simple name check, but I am frequently asked to prove my credentials to people as if I'm lying to them.

It's almost time for June on the Range! "What's that," you ask? Find out in the latest post on my ol' blog! thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/05/time...

This past weekend, I returned to #KublaCon as a "Special Guest" and a FANTASTIC time was had! Our Savage Saturday Night was well-attended (all tables were full), my games went extremely well, and the Sunday auction, an event I always assist with, was one of our best! Until next time! "Kuuuubla!"

Holy crap! It's KublaCon week!!! thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/05/gear...

A wee "new bookshop" (at least for me) report over on my blog for those interested. I'm trying to post stuff more regularly, so if you like what I write there, do please follow me so you're alerted the moment I add something! thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/05/book...

Yesterday I learned of Armchair Fiction, the publishing arm of Sinister Cinema. Armchair publishes vintage SF, horror, and mystery novels (many of which are in the public domain) and they have released DOZENS of these over the years! What would YOU order? www.sinistercinema.com/group.asp?gr...

Two posts in one weekend? What the--??? Anyway, I just added a new entry to my blog, this time discussing BookTubers: thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/05/to-b...

Just dropped a new entry in my blog, this time about story inspiration across the years! thewilddigest.blogspot.com

Celebrate ALL things Star Wars today! May the FOURTH Be with You!!! #starwars #maythefourthbewithyou #maythe4th

Initial batch of notes from the publisher about my latest project were... FANTASTIC! Editing and adding a couple things this weekend and hopefully I'll be able to formally announce something in the next month or two. Watch this space, amigos!

If you're looking for a fun way to celebrate Star Wars Day this Sunday (May the 4th), catch up with three of the women behind some of your fav Star Wars TV characters, Misty Rosas, Dawn Dininger, and my far more talented better half, TaMara Carlson-Woodard! cwzytu-nc.myshopify.com/collections/...

Playtested my #SavageWorlds conversion of the 1st Ed Pathfinder adventure, 'Crypt of the Everflame' last night! This is a truncated version made to fit into a four hour slot to be run at KublaCon 2025 in a few weeks. Got a few things to tweak, but all went VERY well and everyone had fun! #TTRPGs

Fan of classic, yellow-spine DAW Books? I've whipped up a T (and some other branded items) for you using "No. 1" from the cover of Andre Norton's 'Spell of the Witch World.' Grab it here: www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/7395...

For my birthday, I playtested a new adventure with my group at @geekyteas.bsky.social last night! It went VERY well and everyone had a great time! Making a few adjustments, sketching out a couple crude maps for our artist, and then it's off to the publisher next week! #TTRPGDesign #SavageWorlds

If @fantasygrounds.com is your VTT of choice, this is a great time to grab a couple of my very first products for Savage Worlds: The Sixth Gun Roleplaying Game and the Winding Way for same, both ON SALE NOW! www.fantasygrounds.com/store/produc...

ME: "Hi! I'd love to offer myself for any panels you're planning at your convention regarding tabletop game design, playwrighting, or TV marketing." THEM: (crickets). I once had a con guest liaison say to my face that they were only interested in having "professional guests" at their con. Seriously.

TERRIFIC find today at the Last Bookstore on Lankershim Blvd. in Studio City, CA! Books 1 through 7 of the fantastic 'Incarnations of Immortality' series by Piers Anthony! All the books are in phenomenal condition and each was priced at just $3. Not a bad deal for one of my favorite series! #booksky

A new post on the ol' blog, this time about a little mid-week trek I took to a used bookshop I've never been to before and a few of my acquisitions! #booksky thewilddigest.blogspot.com/2025/04/more...

Adding my name to the 30 Years of Dark Delicacies poster before the brick and mortar shuts its doors for good. All the people (authors, actors, directors, etc.) on the poster have signed at the store over the years. Honored to be one of them! What a fantastic run for Del, Sue, and the shop! #booksky
