NTRPG CON XII LIVE BLOG DAY 1.1

UPDATE: A write-up of the game depicted in this post (by player Steve R.) can be found at the K&K Alehouse. Here is the link.

Steve R. rolls character stats in improvised mask as Joe M. witness the rolls.

These guys won OD&D! When I ran this module (Jaquay's Lost Temple) 3 weeks ago with the "veteran" players in my home group, they got TPK'd! These guys beat the whole thing and killed the Demon at the end in 7 rounds! (One round before their haste spell expired.)

I was worried that Steve wouldn't wear his anti-COVID mask, but he kept it on the whole time!

NTRPG CON XII LIVE BLOG DAY 1.0

Got here way early. Even beat Doug, so I ate lunch and studied tonight's game. Doug showed up as I was finishing my cookie. This year's entrance banner by Diesel is badass. I loaded in and set up The Scribes of Sparn display. Now I need to look up my schedule so I know where I'm s'posed to be!

More to come!!!

NTRPG Con Is On!!!

Sheesh! It took forever for it to arrive! After weeks, nay, months of arcane on-again-off-again messaging and rumors, NTRPG Con 2020 is go for launch!

The Cube Controller (i.e., me) is running 5 games, scheduled as follows:

WED P.M.: The Lost Temple (old Jaquays/JG scenario from the Book of Treasure Maps)
THUR A.M.: Outdoor Survival (OD&D Hex Crawl on the Outdoor Survival gameboard)
THUR P.M.: Knights & Knaves Alehouse Anti-Social (Tomb of Ra-Hotep, ala the appendix in the OD&D Tomb of Horrors)
FRI P.M.: Tomb of F'Chlerak (expanded/re-edited version of the Jaquays scenario of similar title)
SAT A.M.: The Odboxx of Zoforon (Original Planet Eris adventure by the "Blood Master"; he I are co-DMing this one)

The Scribes of Sparn modules and the Planet Eris campaign setting will be available (hopefully near the registration table). I'm debating whether to bring my computer for some live blogging. If you stop by the Anti-Social on Thursday night there might be free beer. (Hint!)

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.
