Jason Mical Brother Magneto HeroClix InterviewI've been keeping busy on the side as well - I worked on a d20 adaptation of Fallout that eventually got canned and renamed (for those who don't know, I wrote PnP rules for Fallout back in 2000, after Fallout 2 released.)

More recently I've been doing a little bit of writing for a site called Adventure Classic Gaming which has brought me into contact with a bunch of adventure game designers whom I greatly respect - it's been a very 'fanboy' experience for me!

I was also lucky enough to do some writing for a couple of upcoming books in Green Ronin's DC Adventures line along with Seth and Mike Mulvihill, thanks to Jon Leitheusser who is leading the project.

Agricola Jason MicalI don't get the chance to play HeroClix much anymore but I still have some of my favorite pieces on my desk, including the Infinity Challenge Magneto paintmaster and a masterpiece House of M Magneto that Chris painted for me back in the day.

My favorite board game these days is called Agricola, which I highly recommend to anyone who likes complex board games. I do a lot of video game playing too; my recent favs include Just Cause 2, Red Dead Redemption and (current favorite) Dead Rising 2.

We also have an exclusive interview with Jason "Brother Magneto" Mical here(which also has a picture of that Magneto HeroClix Paintmaster!).

On the realms im majornick933 btw. Its good to hear you still talk with old co-workers. I dont, and I do regret that. I will say it again: NECA should hire you. I really like what neca has done with the game, getting rid of REV (acyually, I think WK did that) and im excited for the new oreo dials, but there were alot of cool things that happened at original wizkids. Alot of sculpts were way better than they are now. Im trying to get a house of M magneto and legacy one (I love magneto too)! I dont think neca uses the realms, which I think they should to communicate with there fans like you did when working for WK.

Hey Nick, thanks for the kind words! I actually left WizKids by choice, I had an opportunity to go work on the Xbox and it was a really good move for my career. If NECA ever wanted to talk to me about a position I'd definitely hear them out. HeroClix is not just my passion, it was the means to my career and an amazing way to work in an environment unlike any other. I'm still friends with many of my former WizKids colleagues and still drop in on HCRealms from time to time to see some of the old faces there.

Thanks again!

What happened at WK? Was this guy fired or he quit? Either way, he should ask neca for a job. I just read your 2009 interview, and it inspired me a bit. I started clix about 2 or 3 years,(i stopped playing for gaps in between these years) after the fall of wizkids, but I didnt even know what was going on. As long as I could buy cool figs, I was happy. And then I learned the truth when HoT came out. There was an old wizkids, and a fall of heroclix. I obviously dont know much from the old days, but I love the game. Its sad to see someone who put so much effort in to a product, someone who worked with a community, to just end. As the interview stated you worked with many great people, and had many great experiences. Neca needs people like you.

Agricola is fun. you might also like Puerto Rico. Not as complicated, but simular mechanics.
