What's up with Greg A. Vaughan?

so i noticed that greg isn't writing the entire adventure for WotW, and haven't heard if he's on board for any of The Mummy's Mask. i was wondering is this the end of his Ripken-esque string of writing an adventure for every AP, if yes, is he getting out of the adventure writing business? doing something else with his time?, i only wonder because i love his adventures from The Spires of Xin-Shalast to The Witch Queens Revenge they're all top notch adventures.
anyway, whatever he is doing i wish him all the luck in the world, and i'm confident he'll succeed in whatever he does.

Medical School.

He's trying to become a doctor.

I am thinking of learning how to knit so I can give him a long scarf, Tom Baker style.

Oh, and he is still working on Frog God stuff, last I heard.

Greg is currently developing his oceanfront property in Oklahoma.

That's property fronting on the ocean of tears donated by all of the players whose characters his adventures have killed.

EDIT: partially ninja'ed.

any time frame on when i can ask for him as my primary care physician?

I think it's important that we all properly shame Greg for SELFISHLY putting the needs of sick people above the needs of the gaming community. FOR SHAME, GREG!

Also, going to med school at his age? Hasn't anyone told him that you're not allowed to follow a *new* dream after age 25?

Greg knows he's got an open invitation to write for us whenever he wants, but yes, he's currently attending Medical School. That's more or less taken up the time he previous had to write... but not entirely! You can expect to see him doing smaller things for Paizo on forward—chances are good he'll be doing at least a monster or an article at some point in Mummy's Mask, for example.

For "The Midnight Isles," both he and I REALLY REALLY wanted to write an adventure for Wrath of the Righteous, but both of us knew we didn't have time to do an adventure. We DID have time to do about half an adventure though, and we've worked together before (Into the Darklands) and enjoyed that, so it made a lot of sense for us to team up again for this adventure. I ended up writing the first half and he did the second half.

Greg is a handsome man.

Into the Darklands is one of my favorite RPG books and was one of the catalysts for me checking out pathfinder (Cities of Golarion being the other) i can't wait to hopefully play "The Midnight Isles"

Perhaps he is becoming a doctor to balance out all of the fictional lives he has ended.

Now that Nic Logue has returned to the community I would enjoy seeing an AP or module from him.

I'm also giving Greg options to write for the APs even if he's not doing an actual adventure. It'd be a shame to have an AP come and go without Greg's name in at least one volume.

Maybe have one volume come out as "Greg Vaughan's..." sorta like V.C. Andrews?

Of course an entire volume set in a hospital or clinic could be interesting.

Wait, wait wait!
Greg A. Vaughan, M.D., hospital, asylum, tentacles, insanity, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

every time greg types a word, somewhere in the world a PC dies;)

No, no that's Pett... DAMN YOU PETT!

Best part about this? Once he's a doctor, you can just bill his fee to your insurance company.

Greg will make a wonderful doctor! However, he does have terrible tableside manner--he kept making fun of my crooked pointing finger during his game at PaizoCon. :)

Really? A couple years ago when I was hanging with Nic Logue, Richard Pett, and Greg, he was the most gentlemanly guy at the table.

He was just making fun because he couldn't tell where I was pointing. lol. He is very nice, truly.

While these are all perfectly reasonable and fact-based points, I'm instead choosing to believe that Greg Vaughn was whisked away to join Robert Vaughn, Matthew Vaughn, Vince Vaughn, and Vaughn Bodē to form the mighty Vaughntron and fight another robeast sent by King Zarkon.

Oh come on, that's like being the brightest crayon in a box of browns ;) This is Hook Mountain Logue and Kill All Your Characters Pett we're talking about here :P

"Vaughn" means "little" or "young, small, a swain" in Welsh (like the Irish Og). Just thought I'd share.

It is not a misspelling of Fthagn.

I'm still trying to get Greg to add "von" to his name, so he'd be Greg vonVaughn.

"Vaughn" means "little" in Welsh (like the Irish Og). Just thought I'd share.

'Little' as in 'little death' or 'la patite mort?' Because that adds a whole new level of weirdness to the conversation.

VAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!

So.

I guess that means my dreams of a VaughnPettLogue collaborative adventure path are shattered.

Sigh.

Back to Milla Jovovich and a wading-pool of chocolate pudding I guess.

dude already looks like George Clooney from the ER days

Sheesh, he's insufferable enough as it is.

Although his med school experience does bring more vivid and accurate descriptions to the critical hits he delivers in our game . . .

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Skeletons of Scarwall" is a masterpiece.

Hopefully none of his patients ever read his RPG material. I'm sure he doesn't want them running out of the office screaming in terror when they find out who their doctor is. Maybe leaving that stuff out of the waiting area might be a good suggestion.

This could open the door for him to learn some new source material when he describes the aftermath of some carnage in his gaming work though.

I imagine after the spanking his Sooners got yesterday despite playing the worst Texas Longhorn team in recent memory, the Greg we all knew and loved will be but a shell of his former self: a hollow man wandering the desolate wastes of his own burned-out subconscious, absently carving practice cadavers with no joy or purpose.

I knew there was a reason I liked you Hodge! Hook em!
