Gencon and writing updates
May. 9th, 2016 05:15 pmSo as a lot of you in the gaming world should know, Gencon planning has begun. The event catalog is up and running and on May 15th you can start signing up for events. Out of the hojillion events in said event catalog, two of them are mine. That's right, I'm running two games this year at Gencon. Coincidentally, both of them involve government-based monster-hunter squads.
The first is a Monster of the Week game, re-using my "Department of Homeworld Security" setup from one of last year's games with a new story. It's Thursday at 5pm and runs for four hours. The full title is "Department of Homeworld Security: Good Old-Fashioned Mummy Hunt" and to find it in the event catalog you can go here or just search for Game ID RPG1687966.
The second is a Hunter: The Vigil game (using the rules patch in the Mortal Remains book) and a sequel to a game I ran a couple of years ago. The Inquisitor (a slasher with a magic sword who hunts mages) has managed to escape from custody, and Task Force: VALKYRIE and VASCU are teaming up to bring him in. It's Friday at 5pm and runs for four hours. The full title is "Return of the Inquisitor" and to find it in the event catalog you can go here or just search for Game ID RPG1687967.
(Note that links and event searching might not be available if you aren't signed up with the website.)
In other news, writing is coming along well enough. I'm currently working on paid freelancing work while also eyeing submissions for magazines and anthologies. But in between all of that, I've put out a couple of smaller things.
One is the latest chapter in an anthropomorphic cyberpunk series I've been working on for a while. There's an easy link to the most recent chapter and earlier chapters here.
The other is a Chronicles of Darkness fiction set in the same universe as my games (including the HtV game described above), and was just sort of a 'play with a character idea/shake out the mental cobwebs/foreshadow stuff for a future game' sort of exercise. That is available here.
