Owl Con Live Blog Day 3.1

Well, the final round of games are about start. I expect things will start winding down after that. It's been fun! This was my first Owl Con and I though it was very cool. A good mix of games, well attended, and larger than I expected. It was also my first time hawking The Scribes of Sparn stuff at a sales booth, and that went well, too.

I need to start packing it up and moving it out soon, so I leave you with the following very cool miniatures games...   ... Signing off!!!

Owl Con Live Blog Day 3.0

Back in the Grand Hall with Steven this morning. Saw some folks I recognized from NTRPG Con. They stopped to look at our stuff and Steven demonstrated how some of the Planet Eris map textures were created.

The Planet Eris Gazetteer & World Map are complete. A limited run was sold at NTRPG Con 2019, June 5-9 (and the response was fantastic!). We're aiming for general online release on October 31. 

The map (a 24" x 36" poster on 100 lb. glossy paper) was done "in-house." Here's a sample of the map detail (at about ¼ resolution).

The booklet features a wicked cover piece by Peter Mullen (see top photo) and fantastic interior art by Rich Longmore along with Luigi Castellani and myself. Here are samples of the interior text and art.
