I’ll be attending DaveCon this weekend!

The convention celebrates “all the Daves who were there at the beginning,” including Dave Megarry (designer of the Dungeon board game), David Wesley (creator of Braunstein, the game that inspired Blackmoor), and, of course, Dave Arneson (creator of Blackmoor, co-creator of D&D, and the father of modern roleplaying games).

Friday, 11am — Random GM Tips
Sunday, 10am — Three Clue Rule
Sunday, 11am — Book Signing
Sunday, 12pm — Opening Your Game Table

I hope to have the chance to meet many of you there!

If you can’t make it to DaveCon this month, my upcoming appearance schedule includes:

Green Dragon Fest — Knoxville, TN — May 16-19, 2024
GM Academy @ Tower Games — Minneapolis, MN — May 25, 2024
Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo — Oaks, PA — January 16-19, 2025

See you soon!

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.
