Dragon Robot Games

In an effort to do even more with gaming I have decided to try my hand at publishing adventures and supplements for Dungeon World. At least in the beginning it will be for Dungeon World. If things work out (if I can keep ideas coming and keep up with other things like real jobs) I'll expand to more systems.

There are already a lot of people making supporting material for Dungeon World, but most of it is focused on new character classes and playbooks.

I'm going to focus on adventures for kids (Yes adults can play too). I have two boys, and some friends with kids - hopefully they enjoy it enough to keep being my "play test" group. If not I should probably go back to the drawing board or at least give stuff away for free.

Look for stuff to appear on the site dragonrobotgames.com. Who doesn't like games with dragons and robots?

Post GenCon Report

So back from GenCon. A really good time this year.

My games:
Both Jawa games went very well. Full players. They really bought into the action. One podcaster described it as Grand Theft Auto Jawa.

The Dungeon World games a little bit of a mixed bag. The first game had more "low Key" players, but they got into the characters. The last group was players I had before, and they got into character and ran with the story - awesomeness.

My favorite game to play in was the "real" Monster Hunter International game. The players and the GM were almost all very familiar with the setting and the characters, and I got to play Holly - sweetness.

The group I came with also had a great time with the consensus best game being a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Savage Worlds game with pop culture characters from the 90s.

Another highlight was the Dungeon Roll Delve for Tasty Minstrel Games. Huge group of players all playing the same game and accumulating experience points. Dice and scotch - more awesome.

Didn't spend much time in the dealer room or the art show. Only went to a few booths to pick up some Kickstarter rewards. More Christopher West maps - love that guys stuff.

Plans are already in the works for next year, and game stories are spinning away. Jawas in the fey realm - we shall see.

GenCon Prep Continues

With the help of my two sons, GenCon prep continues. Right now, we are completing the LEGO designs and making maps. Seems like I'll have more LEGOS this year, probably because there are fewer pre-made maps for the Endor moon than there were for Tattoinne. There are plenty of tree/bush/plant/etc legos, and they look pretty cool.

Play test group is complete, and while it will be late (the Sunday before GenCon), the play test always helps.

This Saturday is the play test for a friends GenCon games - likely an all day thing. I'll let you know the spoiler free report later.

Less than two weeks to go - very excited.
