Well, it's almost 7 a.m., Saturday, October 16th, here in Korea. I'm about to head out to help set up for the big event.
I'm DM'ing The Forgotten Forge, and if there's enough interest, follow that up with Shadows of the Last War.
I'll post how our event went in the next couple of days.
Good luck to all my fellow DMs... Let's have fun!
Wow! What a great event!
Being out here in Korea, I expected a fairly small turn out, and it was. But out of a group of 18 that signed up for Game Day events, two of them were published game designers.
I met Ed Cha, of Open World Press, who gave me autographed copies of his two books! He's a really nice guy with a great attitude towards gaming, and a good head for game design. He was actually participating in a D&D Miniatures tournament, but he kept an eye out on my table, and we had a great conversation when I finished my first session.
I also found out that one of the guys on my table was Van Siegling, who's written for things such as Space 1889, and who's been involved with so many conventions (he attended GenCon 1) that I was just humbled to have him say that he enjoyed the game and my DM style.
It's pretty late now here, and I'm off to bed. I'll post my favorite moments of the game in the next day or so.
Good luck to y'all. As my day is ending, your's is about to begin. Get out there and see who you meet. You might get lucky and roll d20's with a group as diverse as mine.
I could see the excitement of the young teenagers, and it reminded me of playing 20 years ago, trying to get our older brothers to run a game for us. I sat next to a 50-something with such charisma in the game you'd swear he was in his twenties.
I hope y'all have a good time!
