The Ukrainian podcast Idearoll invited me to join them earlier this year for a discussion of So You Want to Be a Game Master that turned into a wide-ranging discussion of GMing and the importance of fandom and creativity. Their post-production process was disrupted by the war, but thankfully everyone involved is all right and they’ve been able to release the video just in time for the holidays!

The interview is in English. The video has subtitles in both English & Ukrainian!

I will be making a virtual appearance at Dice Con in Lviv, Ukraine.

RANDOM GM TIPS W/JUSTIN ALEXANDER
Saturday, August 31st – 6 pm

The RPG community in Ukraine is vibrant and growing fast, and I’m really excited to have been invited to be part of it!

I’m very pleased to announce that So You Want to Be a Game Master has won the 2024 Gold ENNIE Award for Best RPG Related Product.

I’d like to take a moment to repeat a few words of thanks from my acceptance speech:

First, thank you to Elliot Wren Phillips at Page Street Press. Without them, this book would not exist.

Thanks, also, to my wife and daughter. When I got COVID midway through writing the book and ended up staring down a nearly impossible deadline, they rallied to support me through some real literary crunch to make sure the book happened.

And thanks to everyone reading this! This award would not have been possible without the entire Alexandrian community.

Speaking of which…

The Alexandrian also won a 2024 Gold ENNIE for Best Online Content!

I think a testament to the true value of online content is the community which supports it and, hopefully, is supported by it. Whether you’re a website-reader, a Twitch stream chatter, a Youtube watcher, a mailing list subscriber, or a Discord member, thank you for being a part of this community. And a very large thank you to all of the patrons of the Alexandrian. This website really could not exist without your support.

I’m looking forward to creating even more amazing books, videos, articles, games, and adventures in the years to come!

But for now, here’s So You Want to Be a Game Master nestled among the other award-winners at the ENNIES Gen Con booth:

Because of my two ENNIE Awards nominations, it turns out I’ll be at Gen Con 2024!

The Alexandrian is nominated for Best Online Content and So You Want To Be a Game Master is nominated for Best RPG Related Product in the 2024 ENNIE Awards. I’ll be attending the awards ceremony on Friday night.

SATURDAY 10AM to 11AM – BOOK SIGNING

On Saturday morning, I’ll be at Hit Point Press (Booth 1538) in the Exhibit Hall for a book signing. I’ll have copies of So You Want To Be a Game Master available for sale, and you can bring anything else you’d like me to sign!

SATURDAY 4PM – HACK WITH IMPUNITY!

On Saturday @ 3pm, I’ll be appearing on the Hack With Impunity! panel with Professor Dungeon Master, Baron de Ropp, Bob World Builder, Kelsey Dionne, and Ben Milton in Stadium:12.

A very big thank you to Professor Dungeon Master, Baron de Ropp, and Hit Point Press for finding space for me at the last minute! It’s very, very cool of them to help me out!

If you’re at Gen Con, too, I hope to see you there!
