In WicDiv, why did you choose to call him Woden instead of the more recognizable Odin?

There’s a “I want no more one god from each pantheon, and I’m willing to cheat to get it” aspect. I was counting Norse and Germanic as separate pantheons.
But mainly as I’d rather a slightly more obscure one which could then be more identified with our work. If you say “Odin” you’re probably thinking of the Marvel Universe. I don’t want to be “Not that Odin.”

Hi Mr. Gillen! It’s me again, I was just wondering, where am I able to to purchase the Die RPG? Was it only through Kickstarter? I never backed it. Thank you!
It’s available from RRD direct, and basically any game or comic shop. Diamond stock it, for example, for order.

Are you ever surprised when your Marvel creations get picked up and reappear in other stories? I know the shared universe ethic actively encourages the addition of more toys to the MU toybox, but as a reader it's often a pleasant surprise to see which unexpected characters turn up.
How do things like this get discussed in/with the X-Office - e.g. Zero reappearing in Dark X-Men, or Cy-Cat and Professor Plod turning up as stars of an issue of Marvel Meow?

I sum it up pretty basically - a character doesn’t feel real (as in, part of the MU) until someone else writes them.
It’s also the most sincere compliment one writer can pay to another. When I realised that Jon actually liked my Uncanny run was when he used my characterisation of Sinister in Secret Wars.
I also half suspect Cy-Cat and Professor Plod will live longer than anything else I’ve created in my second time in the X-Office.
