33Ìýbooks12ÌýfollowersScott Jenkins began his writing career in the games industry, creating 'worlds' for popular games like Dungeons & Dragons, BattleTech, and DC Heroes Roleplaying game. During his time in Hollywood he worked as a computer animator and wrote technical books and screenplays.
Fascinated with creating illusions, the progression into the world of magic was a natural step. He learned the art of 'close-up magic,' and his skills earned him a magician membership at the world famous Magic Castle, Hollywood's premier magic venue.
Inspired by the true life story of John Mulholland, one of the greatest magicians of his time, who was hired by the CIA to teach their agents slight-of-hand and misdirection for covert ops during the Cold War, Scott began to research the era and spy tactics.
From there, the story of the Smoke & Dagger series was born. The first book, Bullet Catch, is a high-stakes thriller based in Berlin. The next book in the series, Mismade Madam will be out in 2014.

Look, I know this module was written as an April Fool's joke. It's a great read. This is maybe the third or fourth time reading it. But what's more, believe it or not, this module- as insane as it is.. is completely playable if your group really gets into the roleplay aspect and doesn't have a lot of problems with absolute silliness.
Because that's what this module is... complete silliness. Every time I've run it, the group has a great time. I've run this one with several groups. Twice with players doing original characters- which is what you're supposed to do... and once with a group using existing DC characters.
The third time might have been the funniest because of the player's character choices wound up being pretty varied. (Somehow it was 80s era Blue Devil, Changeling, Halo, Light Lass and John Constantine.
Well worth not only a read but at least one play through.
