GenCon, ProgCore, and more!

Hi Everyone! I’m hard at work getting ready for GenCon, and for those you going, I wanted to let you know where you can find me!

First of all, when I’m not running around like a cockatrice with my head cut off, I’ll be hanging out at the Twogether Studios booth—Booth 1459 in the Exhibitor’s Hall! Drop by if you want anything signed or if you have a burning question about Eberron or anything else I’ve worked on! And while you’re at it, check out our amazing games! Meanwhile, I’ll be at the following events…

Thursday, 3 PM – 4 PM: Eberron: A 20 Year Retrospective

Reflect on the past and future of Eberron at this panel with me, Christopher Perkins, and Jeremy Crawford! Only a few tickets left for this! As as soon as it’s done, I’ll be racing to…

Thursday, 4 PM – 6 PM: D&D Live! Legacy of Worlds in Eberron with DM Keith Baker

An archmage from Toril, an artificer from Eberron, and an elf prince from Grayhawk walk into a bar… you’d think one of them would have seen it. Legacy of Worlds is a live play series featuring me as Merrix d’Cannith, Ed Greenwood as Elminster of Shadowdale, Luke Gygax as Melf, Elisa Teague as Elise Zaruvan, and Tommy Gofton as Loholt Lynnvander—an unlikely What If style team-up! This session is the first time *I* have DM’d a Legacy game, and I am going to take the party on a wild ride in Eberron. And I’m 90% certain that attendees will get a free metal d20 from Foam Brain Games! I hope you can join in! There’s also VIP seats here!

Friday, 10 AM – Noon: D&D Live! Legacy of Worlds

Legacy of Worlds continues! I’ll be playing Merrix and continuing in our question to recover the Deck of Many Things and save the Multiverse. What could possibly go wrong?

Friday, 1 PM – 3 PM: D&D Live! Imarian Nights

Dungeon Master Tommy Gofton takes us on a musical adventure through the world of Imaria!

Friday, 6 PM – 8 PM: The Multiversal Roast of Mordenkainen

Do you remember that time when Merrix and Mordenkainen brought the 13th moon of Eberron back, only to have King Boranel break it again? This charity event uses the framework of the Baron Munchausen RPG, but features a group of multiversal luminaries reminiscing about their adventures with the late, great Mordenkainen! Hijinx will surely ensue!

Saturday, 11 AM – 1 PM: D&D Live! Legacy of Worlds

The adventure continues! Where will we go next? Will Merrix break Dark Sun? It wouldn’t be the first time…

Sunday, 2 PM – 4 PM: Design a Module Live: The Playthrough

Over the course of the convention, the Six Sides of Gaming team are running a series of Design a Module events in which YOU can help create a unique adventure. On Sunday, I will have to face that adventure, along with Ed Greenwood, Luke Gygax, Elisa Teague and Tommy Gofton!

So, there’s going to be a lot of opportunities to hang out and roll some dice. I hope to see you at some or all of these events, but ESPECIALLY my game on Thursday at 4, because I’ve never had the chance to DM an Eberron adventure for Elminster, and I have PLANS…

Meanwhile, I have a lot of friends and colleagues who have crowdfunding campaigns going on at the moment, and I want to draw your attention to them!

PROGCORE FANTASY: DARK AGE OF THEER

ProgCore Fantasy is an ambitious multimedia project that seeks to capture the flavor of the dark fantasy of the ’70s and ’80s—drawing on movies like Labyrinth and Legend, musicians like King Crimson and Rush, artists like Erol Otis and Alicia Austin, and far, far more. The project includes:

  • universal sourcebook for any fantasy TTRPG system that is full of tips, advice, and universal house rules, all designed to help Players and GMs heighten the Wonder Mystery and Danger of their gaming sessions. The sourcebook also contains a gameworld designed for ProgCore Fantasy, Theer, described through short stories, adventure hooks, creatures, and magic.
  • documentary actual play that immerses you in play with our friends: Todd Stashwick, Felicia Day, Marc Bernardin, Yuri Lowenthal, Dr. Drea Letamendi, and Anjali Bhimani, with David Nett GMing.
  • Prog Rock soundtrack, produced by Jason Charles Miller, with original Prog Rock songs and ambient music.
  • An animated short, telling a dark fantasy story from the Dark Age of Theer, animated by the best in the business and voiced by top voice artsists.

ProgCore has only two days left! Help bring this amazing vision to life!

FOAM BRAIN GAMES: LOST TOME OF MONSTERS 2

Want a mini that you can wear? Foam Brain is producing a series of Piniatures—enamel pins that can also be used as pins, each with its own unique metal die and encounter card! This is a random series of loot bags, but whatever you get is sure to be adorable.

PROJECT DASTAN

As described by project creator KP11 Studios: Project Dastan is an initiative to uplift diverse voices across cultures and diaspora by providing a platform to tell their stories through various geek/nerd culture content. Our goal is to show the creative and storytelling prowess of people from around the world, from various backgrounds, cultures, etc! Dastan means “story” in Urdu and Hindi, and we are here to help tell your stories! On top of that, we hope to use this momentum to help create the very first, high-production value Indian TTRPG actual play, using studios IN India, as well as local talents and crew. We want to tell an authentic story, while also showing the world that there is so much that the non-western world has to offer!

I hope you’ll take a moment to check out these awesome projects, and I hope to see you at GenCon!
