Enter The Child

Just because I’m at a hotel in Bellevue for OrcaCon, doesn’t mean work stops on our upcoming games. I just got an amazing set the sketches for The Child for The Sun Below: That’s How the Light Gets In. Are they creepy enough? These are from the talented artist Chloe Wenz.

The Child is a creepy NPC that haunts one of the three dimensions of the transdimensional ship Gravitas Mislaid.

Meanwhile at the con, I’m running two adventures The Ripper of Shriveport (13th Age) and Journey to the Sun Below (Numenera). I’ll be playing in a few other games, and in my spare time writing and planning new products.

If you are going to OrcaCon, come find me!

I'll be running a few games (most of which are full, but someone always drops out at the last minute). Maybe they'll let me add another one?

Are you running or playing in a game? Let me know!

OrcaCon

Had an amazing time at OrcaCon. Attended amazing panels and played amazing games. The organizers made everyone feel included. Ran some great 13th Age demos. Jonathan Tweet even stopped by during one. Bumped into old friends and made new ones. Shanna Germain congratulated me on my success. I melted.

Great time.

Did you know that 13th Age has undead owlbear archaeologists?

13th Age tip: I made up the monsters to match the PCs one unique things (magical archaeologist), backgrounds (Red Wastes explorer, which is close to the Owl Barrens), and icon relationships (lich king). Undead owlbear archaeologists power!
