This entire article is full of spoilers for my GenCon 2018 game – sort of. If you’ve looked at the original article, it should be apparent (felgercarb, and “Lorne”) that Battlestar Galactica is going to show up in one way or another. And you can’t have Battlestar Galactica without Cylons. Making Cylons in DnD starts […]

Now that the Name and the structure of my GenCon event are ready, it’s time to update characters. This year it is a fairly easy process because they are all moving from 3rd to 4th. I 5e DnD that means upping the attribute scores. In most cases it means bumping the primary stat up as […]

The group I play with, Party of One is getting ready to submit events for GenCon, so I thought I would share mine: Title: How Greene is My Valley Short Description: King Roderick Howell the Fourth sent you on a peaceful mission out west to the Cartwright Ranch. So of course you’re attacked by armored […]

Saturday of GenCon50 was all about the Dealers Room. Even though we had been there a few times,  the previous days, we didn’t spend a lot of time. Hardest part of the Dealers Hall is communicating. We eventually settled on texting. There is just too much to not split the party. I wanted to try […]

See the previous post for information about Day 0 & 1 Up early again for day 2 of Gencon. My Love Boat game was at 8AM, so that means everyone is at GenCon. Our activities for the day: I ran the second installment of Rescue the Love Boat. The players were more focused on combat, […]

With two extra family members going this year, we started very early Wed for our ten hour drive. Not counting one inattentive minivan, it was an uneventful trip. Our hotel (Hampton Inn south of downtown) was already full of gamers. We unloaded stuff into our room and made our way to the convention center. Because […]

Just back in town after driving back from GenCon and wanted to share some impressions before they fade away… It felt more crowded. Even with badges selling out, It felt like 10% more people were there. I just saw the press release from GenCon, and it doesn’t seem like quite that many, but it did […]

It’s less than one week until I leave for GenCon50 and preparations continue at too slow of a pace. My basement looks like a game store exploded, and I constantly feel like I need to go to an office supply store. I normally only prepare for myself and my own games, but this year I’m […]

Registration for events is this Sunday. Always a big day, and finally an explanation for why your internet is slow. 60,000 gamers all trying to get into their favorite events. I hope the servers are ready (I hope the same thing every year). This year is a little different because my two sons are coming. […]

I’m about to run my GenCon game for the first time for some friends at a local game day (also known as excuse to get together, geek out, play games, and drink). We try and structure these like a Con with 2 or three 4 hour blocks of games. It’s nice because it simulates what […]
