Long ago, Offworld Designs produced a Gloom t-shirt featuring the Cadaverous Child; there’s still a few left, and it’s a great deal if you can fit in them. I love my Cadaverous Child shirt, but OWD is phasing them out. So Atlas and I have been talking about putting up a few new Gloom shirts at the Atlas Zazzle store. What we want to know is: If we made three Gloom shirts, what would you want to see on them? A few basics to work with: Shirts will be singlesided to keep costs down. Characters seem like an obvious choice, and I’d follow the Cadaverous Child example of using the character’s...

So my earlier post asked if people would rather see something entirely new that might stand on its own, or material that could be easily adapted to Eberron. A few people said “Well, what would ‘something new’ actually be?” Good question. I’ve got no shortage of projects I’m interested in. Most likely I would turn to Kickstarter as a way to see what people were actually interested in. But here’s a few possibilities. A New Fantasy World. This is the broadest project, but one I’m certainly interested in doing… going back to the drawing board and...

So here’s a question for folks. There’s lots of subjects I’d like to cover in Eberron, but I don’t know if there’s ever going to be an opportunity to do it officially. It would certainly be possible to use a site such as Kickstarter to fund a small sourcebook or four. The question is which people would rather see: the development of a completely new world from scratch, or the exploration of Eberron in a “generic” fashion. What do I mean by “Generic”? Well, I’d love to write about the Dhakaani… to present player options for Goblin...

For the last few years, I’ve always set aside a few hours at GenCon to hang out in the Hyatt lobby to chat with anyone who wants to talk about Eberron or anything else. I’m not actually doing any sort of official talks this year, so if you have any burning Eberron questions this year, this would be the place. My plan is to hang out in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency from 4 PM to 6 PM on Friday – if you’re free, stop by!

I made things difficult for myself this week. It means a lot to me to hear what different people enjoy about the setting. But there were many great responses, and no single right answer. I enjoyed Kell’s decision to give his answer in-character. Michael Pfaff’s insight as a veteran was intriguing. I laughed at Cheryl’s complaints about her boyfriend’s efforts to get her into the setting – I had to endure his leaving Inquisitives novels by my bed, or him suddenly exclaiming, “Whoa, she turned into a dragon!…And then she ate that guy!” So how to choose between...

We have two seats left, but with just over a week until GenCon, I don’t want to push the time. So we’re going to have a lightning round… one question, two winners, chosen next Monday. Once again, the game will be at Sunday at 11 AM; if you feel like answering but aren’t in the running for a seat, please clearly state this with your answer. Most of our previous questions have been turned on storytelling skill. This time, we want a more general question. I want to know: What’s your favorite thing about Eberron? Good luck!

Now that I’m back from Finland, I wanted to give this event a proper posting.Saturday night at GenCon I’m teaming up with AvatarArt and other sponsors to run a game for charity. We’ve been planning this for some time now, and it should be a fantastic event… complete with delicious food and a pile of SWAG! donated by the sponsors to be divided up among the players. The event is Fourth Edition D&D and NOT the same thing that I’ll be running on Sunday. Much as I’m proud of my Sunday game, we’ve got some pretty big plans for the Mythic Party, and it should...

This week was the most difficult judging yet. Most of the entries are posted on the original thread. Some entries made us laugh, most were clever, and John Lach’s stunned with sheer size. But we had to choose one, and in the end, the victor was Gilo. Unknown to the crew and passengers an Ashbound druid released a swarm of Soarwood-eating ants under the airship’s hull. The ants work slowly borrowing through the ship’s wood multiplying in numbers. Just one day away from Stormreach, the pilot notices that he can not maintain the airship altitude and that the airship is slowly descending...

Last month I talked about auctioning a game, and a comment that came up was ‘That would be cool if it was for charity.” Well, I know GenCon is only a few weeks away, but I’m working with AvatarArt to run a charity event on Saturday evening at GenCon. This is a completely different adventure from the Eberron event I’ll be running Sunday, and I’m looking forward to it – I think it’s going to be very entertaining for everyone involved. Beyond that, food and swag will be provided. So check it out, and I hope to see you there! http://www.mythicparty.com/

In case you’re new here, this is a contest for a seat in an Eberron game I’m running at GenCon this year. Time has now been confirms as 11:00 AM on Sunday, August 8th. If you can’t make this, you can still enter for fun, but make sure to tell me that you aren’t in the running for the seat! As we all know, when adventurers get on an airship, it is invariably doomed. It’s like Doctor Who – when adventurers show up, you know something bad is going to happen. So you and your friends have just climbed aboard an airship, planning a relaxing trip to Stormreach. Our question this week is simple: WHAT...
