Under Construction

I am going to take charge of improving this page. I'm going to fix the flagged issues and also try and mention some of the work that Stackpole has done in the skeptical community. I'll be working to improve the page and if anyone wants to add anything they should leave it on the talk page so I can add it in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Migrations (talk • contribs) 00:12, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Secrets

I've added the very basics about The Secrets, but it certainly needs refining (and expanding). That would probably best be done by somebody who actually has a subscription, however. Trad Redav 04:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Middle initial

someone must place the A. in Michael A. Stackpole's name where it is necessary. every book of his i've read has the "A." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by B cubed (talk • contribs) 17:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

His full name was at the beginning so it's not really important. SavageArchfiend 04:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC) SavageArchfiend[reply]

Unlisted works

He's written a lot of Star Wars comics, none of which are listed here. Anyone? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.226.3.119 (talk • contribs) 03:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC).[reply]

He was the writer of many of the Tunnels and Trolls solo adventures in the 1980's, none of which are listed or mentioned int he article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.49.211.221 (talk • contribs) 03:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I added the information on the comics yesterday but I don't have any dates of when they started so I'm unable to add any to the list at the bottom. --NightJim 15:43, 27 September 2006

He also made a Shadowrun novel call "Wolf And Raven" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.192.209.93 (talk) 02:02, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New York Times Bestseller

My understanding is that many of his books have been on the New York Times Bestseller list. I was surprised not to find that here. Is this information just not important, or do we usually not include that, or is it just that no one has had the time or opportunity to add it?--Arkcana 17:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Age of Discovery's bad links

I don't get why someone keep persisting to link to some random and "don't-make-any-sense-at-all"-articles. I mean why link to some music album from an musical artist who doesn't have any connection at all to Michael A. Stackpole's "A New World". The same goes for "Cartomancy"... 85.225.39.80 21.02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Eventually the user intends to write articles for those. I'm changing them to different links. -Fnlayson 20:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hands down, his Dragoncrown series is the best of his works. I'll try and type up a summary in a few days. - NemFX 16:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On Dragon Page Cover to Cover...

He said that his birthday was "yesterday" when they recorded the podcast which is dated 12/11/07, which means that his birthday is somewhere between 12/7 and 12/11. So either 12/8, 12/9, 12/10. He's a Sagittarius... is it worth noting? --Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 07:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a 3-week gap between recording DragonPage Cover to Cover and when the podcast is actually released.81.101.86.2 (talk) 16:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
