As a grognard in game terms (playing since 79) this show looks a delight. As a producer of games for the last 4 years, it looks like a chance for me to run some old school OSRIC rules D&D fun. I imagine this year’s table are booked up or can you stand a 4-6 hour D&D game designed for Gary Con last year?
Hi Simon – Games Masters are booked up for this year. Your offer sounds intriguing. Depending on how it goes, we’ll be looking for a bigger venue and more GMs for ’17… if that interests you? Let us know what you make of the pod!
