We're experiencing some power outages here in MN, which needless to say, made the rpgobjects.com and Tiamat servers inaccessibly for a time today and last night. It's all back up now, lets hope for good.

In this episode, Chuck Rice (of Vigilance Press) and Chris Davis (of RPGObjects) talk about their latest projects (the OSRIC supplement Old School Magic and the new post-apocalyptic game Abandon All Hope) and Chris gives us a GenCon recap.

In this episode we talk with famed RPG designer Steve Kenson about DC Adventures, Gen-Con and upcoming ICONS releases.

Interface-Zero, is the first book in the Interface-Zero Cyberpunk Setting by Gun Metal games. IZ brings your Savage Worlds game up to speed with the dark, frenetic world of 2088.

The Darwin's World adventure I ran at Gencon 2010 is now on sale.

Vigilance Press is helping you shake off the con crud with a massive post-Gencon sale! Every day for the next week we'll be marking one product down more than 50% from its usual price. Specials so far:

In this episode, we’re lucky to enough to be chatting again with comic scribe Dan Abnett who gave us the lowdown on several of his upcoming projects including the recently announced Iron Man and Thor mini-series (that he’ll be co-writing with frequent partner Andy Lanning), the ongoing Marvel Cosmic event Thanos Imperative and the Warhammer 40k movie (Ultramarines)

It's been awhile (like 10 months), but we have a new PA Dispatch issue on sale. Post-Apocalyptic Dispatch (#22): Racial Talent Trees details some optional talent trees that can be used in conjunction with the traditional talent trees.

I just sent a coupon to the RPG Coupon google group for Post-Apocalypse^20 for $3. You can still get the coupon by Joining the group.

Gencon 2010 has come and gone. The Monday after is always a hard day. It's like a bad hangover. I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation. :)

I intended to run 4 events. Unfortunately only 2 went off as planned. The Thursday event of Abandon All Hope event didn't have enough players, which isn't uncommon on Thursday when people are still scrambling to get into the convention. On Friday my Darwin's World event had an overflow of people. The 6 players graciously allowed 2 extra players (total 8) to join and fun was had by all. On Saturday I was set to run both events again. Happily the Abandon All Hope had enough players. I was worried because of Thursday. It went well and I had great players. However, the afternoon Darwin's World event didn't run again due to lack of players. I was a little shocked and dismayed by this. The Saturday afternoon event is normally the first to sell out and I always have extra players waiting to take the spots of no shows. I don't know what to think about that. It did make me question running future events.

From a consumer perspective, I purchased 2 expansions for Neuroshima Hex, a board game I picked up last gencon that I have really enjoyed. I also picked up Cyclades, a very fun boardgame about Greek gods and creatures. It's got a lot of great plastic miniatures, clever rules, and it's not too long.

There were other things that caught my eye that I didn't buy. Two Games Workshops licensed boardgames from Fantasy Flight: Horus Hersey and Chaos in the Old World. Not to mention Death Watch RPG from same company. The DC RPG from Green Ronin book was also pretty, but I'll probably grab the electronic version.

I didn't think it was possible, but the WOTC booth seemed to get even smaller. Maybe it was the same size, but I didn't even noticed it my first time though the hall.

Overall it was a great time as usual.
