The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal. When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot. And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what: "I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too. "And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. "Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due: "I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
I'm with @Christian - congrats on getting published. So many people have that dream and so few actually accomplish it. It takes dedication to actually commit to someone else that you're going to write something and then actually finish it on time. I can speak from experience.
I have been published before and even wrote an entire core rules book (Ghosts of Albion), I just geeked that this is my first paid-for-real gig writing for D&D.
Its always great to be published and know that people out there are having fun with something you wrote.
Now on the 4e thing us folks in the OSR are not into 4e much we ain't that exclusive. We might not think 4e is actually D&D of course but hey whatever floats yer boat ;)
But seriously, good job on your first paid D&D item.
I have to say that WotC has seemed open to supporting all versions of the Grand Old Game, it's just that their numbers are effected most by what is for sale now.
Speaking of things that you've written, where could I find a copy of Ghosts of Albion? It sounds interesting, but I can't seem to find it in any of the local stores.

Now I just really want to know what you sold your soul for. LoL. Any idea when we will see your writing?

(You can, of course, redeem your soul by buying loads of Oubliette back issues and distributing them amongst the needy)
I wish Hasbro would hire more Old School minds to work on their products...

It was easssy wasssn't it....
The article is one on using the new fortune cards in a D&D Basic (Holmes/Moldvay/Cook/Metzer).
No idea when it will be out though.
Nice, man. A writing credit is a writing credit.

I wrote a quick post on this BTW. Its really cool to see Hasbro support B/X even indirectly.
Good show to them (for listening) and to you for the work!
Congratulations. Cash the check. Does this mean that WotC is looking at supporting OOP games like the Basic set? Had to ask...
I have to say that WotC has seemed open to supporting all versions of the Grand Old Game, it's just that their numbers are effected most by what is for sale now.
Welcome to the Pleasuredome.
Congrats!
:D

Ghosts is out in PDF, but should be out in dead tree version sometime.
