Kubla this year was my redemption for DDC. During all of DundraCon I was regretting not running a game… so what did I do for Kubla? Yep, run two. More on that later.

Thank you guys very much. It was a blast recording with you.

My story for KublaCon begins the night before, as I’m calmly printing out the character sheets for my Saturday AM game. (Unhallowed Metropolis – Steampunk Survival Horror.) As I printed the last character sheet, around 2 AM (because I’m a night owl), my brain reminded me:
“YOU FORGETFUL JERK!! YOU HAVE A SECOND GAME THIS CON!! YOU’VE DONE NO PREP WORK FOR IT!!”

Dundracon is dun . . . er, done. – Richard Taylor
13 years ago
The first big Convention of 2008 is over and done. This is going to be really long, and boy am I actually surprised by that.
I may have mentioned this before, but I always dread going to Dundracon. I don’t know why. But every year, as DDC comes closer, my inner child holds his breath and stomps his feet and then shouts “I DON’T WANNA GO!!!!” and then holds his breath again.
And every year, when I finally get there, inner child has fun and doesn’t even thank me for making him go.
This year was better (much better) than last year, even if I didn’t play as many games as I did the previous year. Then again, over the past year, my standards have changed – I’d rather play a really good four hour game than play in 16 hours of crap games.

Tentacles of the North – Recap
24 years ago
At Kublacon 2007, Good Omens Productions held their first ever LARP, Tentacles of the North, a Call of Cthulhu Dark Ages viking tale. One of our players was tasked with creating an epic poem recounting the events that unfolded that even and did she deliver! Here’s a recap of the night, enjoy!

A Shout out to Shaun and Kristen – Sean Nittner

in GM Advice
I just got finished listening to the last episode of “This Modern Death” found here.
First off thank you guys for the praise you gave Good Omens con and my game. It was awesome having you there. Second, the GM of our Office Dogs at the Water Cooler was Wilson Zom. Third, feel free to put up any embarrassing pictures you took of me or any one else at Good Omens Con (I’m sure Mike P. will love me giving you permission to put up pictures of him eating). Fourth, I heard about Wilderness of Mirrors (by John Wick from Paul Tevis on his excellet podcast Have Games Will Travel. Finally, yes we should post more but it comes in waves and as the Con season is over, you probably won’t see too much activity till we get close to DundraCon
For those who are not Kristen and Shaun, I highly recommend you head over to thismoderndeath.com and check them out. The have excellent taste in conventions and in irreverent sense of humor. Warning, their podcast may not have it yet, but it does deserve the explicit tag, keep the kids earmuffs on. Definitely check them out!

I had a great day yesterday at the EndGame Minicon. I was only in two games, the morning slot and the one I ran that lasted 6 hours.
In the morning slot I was in Brian Isikoff’s Transhuman Space game under the SotC engine. (more…)
