Off to NTRPGcon

I'm headed out tomorrow morning for NTRPGcon in the DFW.

I'm running a scheduled Barrowmaze game on Friday morning, with the possibility of a pickup game Saturday subject to interest.

All the games I wanted to play were closed hours after registration (which was at 1am est, I believe), so I plan on surfing games with a notion to observe DMing styles. I'm very interested in watching the TSR guys do their thing :)

As you might know, Barrowmaze is a finalist for the 2013 Three Castles award which will be announced on Saturday (from what I'm told). Interestingly, BM is the only adventure/scenario. All the others are RPG systems. That's a wee bit intimidating lol.

I think, in the final tally, the most important thing is to ask questions like: Does Barrowmaze inspire people to play? Do folks find it compelling? Is it fun? Is it challenging? Does it make you think creatively, tactically, logistically? Does it celebrate the early game and its founders? Does it kill your PCs quickly and painfully? Hopefully BM does some of these things :)

I'll be sure to make a post-con report with pics.

Barrowmaze shirts

Looks like the Barrowmaze shirts have started arriving. I see one person has posted pics on google+

Barrowmaze Gamer Tshirt Sneak Peek

I've been busy playing and painting miniatures in my free time, so I haven't posted much here. Don't let that be a sign of inactivity though. One of the side projects I've been pecking at is a series of fun Barrowmaze Gamer Tshirt designs for an Indiegogo I'm going to run in the next couple weeks. Here's a look at a sweet illo by Zhu. You can't make out all the detail in this file, but it is super cool. Reminds me of an old heavy metal concert shirt :)

Barrowmaze Gamer Tshirts

In the next few weeks I hope to have an Indiegogo up and running for Barrowmaze gamer tshirts.

I'm trying to include lots of different designs so hopefully you might find one appealing.

I hope to have it up by mid-March but that is subject to the printer etc.

It will be a relatively short campaign too, unlike the last one.

I'll keep you updated.

3Castles Award: Barrowmaze Advances to Round II

Just received the news that Barrowmaze has advanced to round II for the 3Castles Award for RPG Design!

As I'm sure you can imagine I'm thrilled.

Barrowmaze faces stiff competition. The other four entrants are all full RPGs.

I want to thank my players, who are great, and also wanted to express my thanks to all of you for your support and for making Barrowmaze happen. I planned on attending the NTRPGcon regardless, so this makes the whole thing even more exciting.
