I. Electric Boogaloo?
Greetings friends,
We have the second half of our round-up from the post-GenCon world! … I’m taking a chill weekend to recover from the “con crud” while unraveling the stuff I didn’t get to Tuesday!
My biggest venture at GenCon was the demoing of the Daggerheart quickstart adventure to 20 tables in 20 hours! … Of course, none of that was possible without the amazing peeps over at Envoy/Double Exposure who specifically work with game masters to pair them with events to demo or run some of the newest games from publishers!
If you’re interested in an opportunity to venture to a large convention under the banner of game master, and have some stuff comped, check out their Heralds program and consider signing up yourself!
To think! We’re more than 30 issues and 8 months into Dungeon Delves lifecycle!
My original intent with DD was to provide a regular round-up of the latest non-DnD related RPG content, including the indie stuff, and be a sounding board for great stuff in the game bundle or blogosphere you might be missing out on otherwise!
However, its timely enough for me to assess the chosen path. I dont believe there is any criticality to include DnD, WOTC, and Hasbro content as they have enough media reach themselves. … So, let me pose the question to my more attentive readers!
No delays. Onward to the 0.5 round-up!
