This week we talk about all the fun we had at Cabin in the Woods Con & Gamehole Con 2023.
At Cabin in the Woods Con 2023 we played:
- Pukeapocalypse – run by Andrew Bellury
- D&D 5E – “That Which Lurks Beneath” – run by Ryan Steffen
- D666 (Tiny Dungeon meets Maze Rats) “Wizard Robbers” where we rob the wizard manses from DCC’s Dying Earth Box Set – Jeremy Deram
- The Dept. of Kids Who Know There are Monsters Under the Bed – original game playtest – run by Zach Cowan
- Mystic Punks – “The Thrill Kill Ministry” playtest – run by Steve Albertson
- D&D 5E – “Dragon War: Paralyzing Gas” -run by Aleksandr Revzin
We’re gearing up for our Season 3 in 2024, which will be an actual play exploring our Epic Levels’ setting of Epicia and the city-state of Def Jamisus. We’ll be using the Mystic Punks RPG ruleset, and we’ll continue interviewing and making things with RPG creators on our Side Quests.
At Gamehole Con 2023 we interviewed lots of our favorite creators for what will be our Season 2 grand finale in December. Steve ran our Mad Dungeon rooms using Old School Essentials, but Steve and Andrew spent most of their time at the booth talking about all things Epic Levels and Exalted Funeral.
Other highlights were spending time with their RPG friends like Levi Combs, Skeeter Green, Thom Wilson, Brian Shutter, Luau Lou (who all played Shadow Dark RPG together), Brian Colin, Alex Kammer, Jeff Richard, and so many more.
