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

FRIDAY 4PM – GEOPOLITICAL WORLDBUILDING MASTERCLASS

On Friday @ 4pm, I’ll be making a stealth appearance / doubleheader with Baron de Ropp as part of his Geopolitical Worldbuilding Masterclass.

FRIDAY 8PM – ENNIE AWARDS

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!

Sunday, 10am — Three Clue Rule
Sunday, 11am — Book Signing

Due to the prodigious efforts of 子奇, the complete Alexandrian Remix of Dragon Heist is now available in a Chinese translation.

I can’t read a word of it (more’s the pity!), but I am simply blown away by the stupendous effort which went into this project.
