"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"
"We go South."
Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump."

Garycon 2, Right Around the Corner
Allan Grohe and I were exchanging emails today on good ole GARYCON 2 which is forthcoming in March.
Thanks for asking, Rob. It's in play-test now, the bulk of the developmental work now complete. We've got a few adventures for it, both of which can be found in Knockspell magazine (#1 and soon to be #4). The rules are another derivation of what you fellows made up back in the 70's. Hope all is well for you. Love this blog. It's a lot more interesting than the forum was. Hey, I need your snail mail address. Can you shoot it to me at ghul at comcast dot net? You gave it to me before, but I lost it. Best regards, --Jeff T.
Welleran. 30 years! Boy, this will be a treat for you. It's quite a quaint and charming grouping of ladies and gentleman. Mike Carr, Jim Ward, Tom Wham, Luke Gygax, Tim Kask and Frank Mentzer, and last but certainly not least, Tuerny the Merciless (Ernie Gygax) and many others, of course.
BTW: Nice online name. A Dunsany fan?
'Maybe that Welleran is dead and that some other holds his place upon the ramparts, or even a statue of stone.'... TSoW
Looking forward to it. ;) See you there, Rob!
ReplyDeleteIt will be good to see you also, Ghul. How's the new game coming?

Yes, a big Dunsany fan, and that's my favorite of his.
ReplyDeleteI am very much looking forward to the whole thing. Two of my original (and current via computer) players are coming, as well.
I wouldn't miss it for the world.

This will Con will deflower me as well. ;-) I can't think of a better way to be introduced to the game-con world.
