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.

ruins, and you fled the world to find refuge on a remote isle. So you
became a Lord of the Isle of Ice - courtier to the cold and cruel Queen of Ice. Or you became a Lady of the Isle of Ash - companion to the mournful and crippled
Duke of Ash. Along with your fellow Lords or Ladies, you have lived
on the Isle for what feels like an eternity.

But now, everything is about to change. The Queen of Ice is holding a

I had the pleasure of attending Otherworld for the first time recently, and as I think more about LARPs and games, I wanted to share my very positive experience. This weekend-long event in Pomfret, CT was one of the longest and most intense gaming experiences I've had in a long time.

This year we are excited to feature a full slate of organized play campaigns from our favorite ongoing stories.

Living Forgotten Realms - Heroic, Paragon and Epic!

Living Divine - find your inner god

Ashes of Athas - if you can survive Dark Sun

Pathfinder Society - Contribute to the chronicles; GMs wanted!

We're uploading a lot of game information this week, both here and on warhorn.

We still have a few submissions coming in, and the organized play schedules are in formation, so stay tuned for more in a few days.

We always love more diverse games at AnonyCon, so we're very thankful that Pantheon Press could join us this year to run Fortune's Fool for some lucky gamers. Thanks to Rob Trimarco, Jay Stratton and Jason Keeley for coming out to join us, we hope to see you again soon for more fun games!
