I played Dungeon World for the first time today with some coworkers, and it was distinctive and interesting, but not as fun as I'd hoped. I will try to play it again, hopefully with another class and at second level.

It's been too long, so we got in touch with some artists this year and we were very happy to show off our excellent new shirt for AnonyCon 2011 with art by Melody Lu.

Check out the shirt back, and see her site for more awesome art.

Nothing like a weekend of gaming to leave you needing sleep, chocolate and extra dice.

We had a blast, and are so thankful for all of you coming out to help us tell excellent stories.

I especially want to thank:

• Joe - You make sure Living Forgotten Realms games happen.
• David - So glad to have you muster support for Pathfinder.
• Adam - Always manage to find every player a seat at a fun game.
• Alisa - Taking care of the most vital machinery of the convention: HQ.
• Michael - Publicity, dealers, social media, prizes, sponsors... wow.

And they are awesome. Can't wait to show them off to you all TOMORROW!

Woohoo, as badge and schedule printing progress, we have folks signed up for 464 slots of playing and GMing games at AnonyCon this year!

We'll be printing out player and GM schedules tomorrow (Tuesday) night, so you have about a day to settle your schedule and sign up for any last minute games.

Once you arrive at the convention you can still switch games or jump into anything that has space open, but those with early sign-up will get priority.

What stalks the night in the formerly peaceful town of Bannenberg? Will you rise to the challenge of uncovering the mystery and protecting the townsfolk? Join other adventurers at “While the Iron is Hot”, a high-adventure live action role playing game combining puzzle-solving, plenty of opportunities for roleplaying, and some boffer combat (with safety training provided). Using predetermined characters, with plenty of room for personal flair, come find your inner hero.

We're proud to be previewing the latest game (not yet released) by Crafty Games, Mistborn, based on the novels by Brandon Sanderson.

Thanks to help from Crafty Games, we have a module to run at the convention, but we've had a minor crisis emerge and are in need of a GM who is interested in Mistborn and learning a new system.

Are you that GM? Contact us!

This year, AnonyCon will be participating in SCVNGR, a location-based, SMS and web driven, social gaming platform - think of a scavenger hunt crossed with FourSquare! Can you find all our favorite dining spots? Hear the best quote of the weekend? Take great photos with a phone? This is for you!

For a glimpse of what SCVNGR is all about, check them out.

Early registration closes this weekend, so head over to warhorn now if you want to get a cheaper AnonyCon badge and sign up for games.
