Since then so much has happened that Steve sent us a little note to share with everyone to let us know what he&#8217;s been up to and what&#8217;s coming next.<\/p>\n<p>Hey Everybody,<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a busy time since I last talked with the Magical Buffet! I&#8217;ve made the transition at <a href=\"http:\/\/greenronin.com\/\"target=\"_blank\">Green Ronin Publishing<\/a> from developer to full-time designer, which means rather than overseeing and guiding various projects, I&#8217;m primarily writing and designing, which I think are my personal strengths. I&#8217;m working with our new Mutants &#038; Masterminds developer, Jon Leitheusser, on a project called &#8220;The Supervillain&#8217;s Handbook&#8221; for a summer release this year. It&#8217;s a big book of supervillainy, including hidden lairs, evil schemes, and villain archetypes.<\/p>\n<p>In other exciting news, our <a href=\"http:\/\/greenronin.com\/sifrp\/\"target=\"_blank\">&#8220;A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying&#8221;<\/a> game is back from the printer and shipping to stores! I&#8217;m very pleased with how it came out and I&#8217;m working with our production department on the forthcoming releases for it, including a Narrator&#8217;s Screen (bundled with the adventure &#8220;Wedding Knight&#8221; written by me) and the big adventure saga &#8220;Peril at King&#8217;s Landing&#8221; as well as a comprehensive guidebook to Westeros. The cover to the Campaign Guide is a great painting of how the Kingslayer got that name.<\/p>\n<p>Also, for any folks who are interested, I&#8217;ll be a guest at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northeastwars.com\/\"target=\"_blank\">Northeast Wars convention <\/a>in Burlington, VT April 3-5, running M&#038;M and talking about RPGs. It&#8217;s a fun convention, so come by if you&#8217;re in the area!<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/10-12-08-steve-kenson-photo.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/10-12-08-steve-kenson-photo-194x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"10-12-08-steve-kenson-photo\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-474\" \/><\/a><strong>About Steve Kenson:<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Steve Kenson began freelancing in the RPG industry in 1993.
