Posts from TRHOmni for 05/06/2015 I was sworn to silence... but now the secret is out! When my son, Curtis, was a boy, he used to create theme parks for the rest of the family in his bedroom. Then in his teens he began performing magic professionally. As he grew to manhood he even began creating illusions for other magicians […]

Posts from TRHOmni for 03/17/2015 It was thirty-three years ago today that my wife and I arrived in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin with our then two children. Our drive had really started four days before when we loaded what little we owned out of our apartment in Logan, Utah onto a moving van and drove south to meet my parents in […]

Posts from TRHOmni for 03/12/2015 OK, I'm not saying that Alan Tudyk and I are close ... although he did let me have a booth next to his at Gencon Australia. And I'm not saying that Nathan Fillion and I are BFFs even though he did take a selfie with Laura and I some years ago which I show off […]

Posts from TRHOmni for 02/21/2015 Credit where credit's not due... When you're in the business of making a legend, the absolute truth can be a liability. And when that legend happens to involve the woman that you secretly love, truth can be unforgivable. This is especially the case when the truth is inconvenient for those who stand…

Posts from TRHOmni for 01/23/2015 A Enchanting Song... Prunella Stump, having inadvertently incited a riot among the rat-catchers. She is in fear of her life when rescue comes in the form of an old acquaintance. Magic can be a powerful thing, especially when it is cast by a desperate wizard, and sometimes it can get completely out o…

Posts from TRHOmni for 01/01/2015 As Douglas Adams observed: “Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” There are some really wonderful places in space but to get them you have to […]

Posts from TRHOmni for 12/23/2014 As long as I can remember,’what I want for Christmas’ has been the first and most paramount question of the holidays.

Posts from TRHOmni for 11/29/2014 Or why is this (fill in the blank) project so late? Starting about the time I was in Junior High School, I became fascinated by Einstein’s theories of Relativity.

Hickman's Game is Here!
Hickman's Thanksgiving Update Thanksgiving here in the United States has traditionally also been the starting signal for Christmas and Holiday shopping.

Posts from TRHOmni for 08/25/2014 A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I had uncovered the original Dragonlance Proposal. I thought I might share some of it with you, giving you a sense of our original vision for the series of what was then primarily intended to be adventure modules. It is a remarkable document in its vision of what [……
