About Michael Kortes
Michael Kortes’ favorite possessions include authentic rejection letters from Dungeon editor Barbara Young along with a very polite, individually typewritten “please go away (for a very long time)” letter from then editor Wolfgang Bauer. His marvelous collection even includes a rejection letter from Christopher Perkins which – if held up to a mirror in the right lighting - could accidentally be misconstrued as encouragement.
An unrelenting Dungeon fan, as part of an anti-stalking settlement, Michael has had adventure’s printed in issues #100 (“Beast of Burden”), #122 (“Final Resting Place”), #134 (“Home Under the Range”) and #149 (“War of the Wielded”), along with a couple of Campaign Workbook articles in issues #130 (“Behind Bars”) and #143 (“Open Sesame”). Special thanks go to Chris Tomasson and especially the current Paizo staff for humoring him.
Due to the erroneous introduction of a Butterfly ballot, Michael was accidentally made a runner-up in Dungeon’s Side-Trek competition in 2005. As such, he was invited to play in the inaugural session of “The Menagerie” (Issue #126) DMed by contest winner Matt Conklin, board lord and founding were-cabbage. There, he also met and played along side the awesome fantasy artist Herman Lau. The horrendous outcome of that event is chronicled in the Paizo archives which you can find by clicking this link “here” . Though it's really best if you don't. And please, do yourself a favor and ensure you do not read "this tale" either.
Michael’s current projects include a Game Mastery module (“Entombed with the Pharaohs”) and violently bouncing ideas off of Tim Hitchcock and Anson Caralya. When he tires of shameless name dropping, he curls up with a good book.
