If you cannot rest until you see the vista afforded by a surmounted peak, then the Wandering Men will resonate with you. We embrace journeying and exploration; we're constantly pushing ourselves over the next hill, whether the hill is an obstacle, such as a towering mountain or raging river, or a challenging project, like writing a book or crafting a RPG. Reaching for the horizon is the name of the game. Do you hear the mountain's call?
For Omegacon '08, the Wandering Men joined forces with comic artistChris Fason to create a graphic prequel, if you will, to our novel, Skein of Shadows. Previously, this comic has only been available to those convention goers (and recently to our first friends on our new Wandering Men Facebook account); but now we want to make it free for all!
In response to popular demand, the Wandering Men are now making their "Transmog" artwork available for avatars! That's right, now you can grace forums the world over with the wildly popular "Transmog" version of your favorite hero from Skein of Shadows! This artwork appeared on our exclusive Men: the Wandering collectors cards for Chattacon and were a HUGE HIT!
Show the world that you're an "Arastin fan"; that you're an anchor-toting member of the "Gritgut Chaos Club"; or you could even declare to all that you are a true "Fiend Fighter"! Whichever hero is your favorite, snag his (or all) of the artwork below; just a little present from the Wandering Men!
Thanks again to Gabriel Lee for the awesome artwork!
Our Wandering Men comic, Stirring Shadows, is getting closer and closer to completion! All is on track for the debut of this rockin' comic at OmegaCon in Birmingham, Alabama on March 14-16!
The Wandering Men have teamed up with well-known comic artist, Chris Fason, the co-creator of the wildly popular, hip and retro comic: Hero Happy Hour from GeekPunk to produce this little gem and we cannot wait to GIVE IT AWAY! That's right, Wandering Fans - we're going to be GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE for fans at the convention! Not only that, but Chris Fason (who just happens to be OmegaCon's Art Director!!) will be on hand to sign copies of both Stirring Shadows and all his issues of Hero Happy Hour!
Here's a little treat for all of you Gritgut fans out there. When the Wandering Men were in the very early stages of planning the short stories that would eventually morph into the novel as we know it today, we met at Talladega National Forest in Anniston, Alabama for what we called a "Writer's Retreat". A day full of hiking the steep, dusty trails, swimming in the icy-cold lake, climbing sheer granite cliffs, and exploring little known corners of the wilderness soon had all of our creative juices flowing and our synapses firing like tommy guns in The Untouchables.
As we gathered back into the hotel room (yes, we actually got a hotel room for the Writer's Retreat and NO, we do not normally use hotel rooms on our outings...) and began to talk about Corey's story concept: that of an anchor-wielding oltreggan who would basically cause random chaos and destruction throughout the story, Davis began cackling wildly - almost uncontrollably... Now, for those of you that do not know him personally, this is not Davis' modus operandi - so we all knew that something big was up.
To celebrate the release and great sales of our novel, the Wandering Men wanted to provide you with a little treat - Skein of Shadows desktops! That's right; right here you can get the exclusive full-color "wrap-around" cover art of the novel and with it, decorate your favorite desktops! And look - it's all snowy - just in time for the holidays!

Ha ha! Of course, I'm only joking above. But, what we Wandering Men are serious about is showing you a sneak preview of our exclusive line of Convention Trading Cards that we affectionately call (really) Men: the Wandering cards! Of course, they are a tongue-in-cheek parody of the famous Magic: the Gathering cards which made WOTC so very rich and famous. We'll be giving these beautiful cards away (and yes, they are real cards) at each of the cons we'll be attending, but the way you get them is a part of the surprise that we're not giving away yet!
To find that out, you'll have to come to a Con - see ya there! If you can't make it now (or ever) we're sorry to hear that, but at least you can gaze longingly at Hall's stunning skills of craftsmanship mixed with comedy!
