Brave New World

I’m prepping for Gen Con, which starts on Thursday, although I’ll be there on Wednesday for the Diana Jones Award party. I have a busy schedule lined up for myself, which includes my Industry Insider Guest of Honor panels, plus some events to promote the release of the Brave New World: Revolution proof-of-concept video.

The big event, of course, is the debut of that video, along with a concert by Makeshift Prodigy. This happens Friday at 4 PM in the Westin’s Grand Ballrooms 2 & 3. For a preview of this, be sure to check out the new trailer.

Also, Reactor 88 Studios and Makeshift Prodigy are throwing an afterparty to celebrate the release of the Brave New World: Revolution proof-of-concept. We’ll be at the Subterra Lounge (250 S. Meridian), blowing off steam and listening to the sounds of DJ Marcelo. This is a reservation-only event. Be sure to contact rsvp@r88s.com to join us.

In any case, if you’re going to be at Gen Con, do say hi. I love chatting with gamers and fans of all kinds, and I hope to see you there!

A New (Free!) D & D Adventure

Perhaps not coincidentally, the latest issue of Game Trade Magazine features the first D&D material I’ve written in years. “Inn Peril” is an introductory adventure for five 1st-level 4E players, illustrated by the terribly talented team of Jeff Preston and Tom Martin.

Pick up a copy of the magazine if you get a chance. They’re often handed out for free at Gen Con. Or you can read about the adventure on the GTM website and even scroll down that page to download the entire 8-page PDF for free.

(And, yes, you might now be able to guess what I’ll be running for the first adventure for Marty and his friends.)

My son Marty has been pestering me to run a D&D campaign for him and his friends this fall. I’m going to try 4E, mostly so I can check out the new material in full. I have the basic books, of course. Can anyone recommend other must-have bits for the game? I’m heading to Gen Con this week, so I’m looking to pick them up there. Thanks!
