Goodman Games wants you!
With the economy taking a bad turn, many gaming companies are having a hard time getting sufficient volunteers for their various Gen Con events.
As some of you may know, I will be among the DMs referees of the Goodman Games Dungeon Crawl Classic tournament held this year at the Indianapolis Crowne Plaza.
Turns out that they’re still looking for some DMs, so if you want to experience DMing at a Con and want to rub elbows with some very nice industry people, send an email to Adrian at adrian@goodman-games.com.
Plus I hear they have a party called ‘BeerCon’ that can’t be bad right?
The Tome on Monster Manual 2
Last Thursday I had a blast participating in another (my 3rd) episode of The Tome Show hosted by Jeff Greiner. In that Episode, I had the pleasure of discussing the Monster Manual 2 with Jeff, Quinn from at-will and Mike Shea from Sly Flourish.
We had fun discussing the new monsters and rapping about dealing with Solo monsters. Mike made me laugh when he referred to the tendencies of Solo monsters to become crippled with status effects as “The Bucket on the Head” syndrome.
I must say that I haven’t experienced this all that much, mostly because Solos aren’t usually caught in status effects for long. However, many of the Solos from MM2 have abilities that allow them to save more than once per turn, so I guess that WotC also thought about this issue.
(EDIT) Geek Dad link Love
I was happily surprised this morning to have been mentionned on Wired’s Geek dad column. Thanks to Bob from The Dice Bag for the link love! Robert was one of the newly appointed Geek Dads. Kudos to you sir!
First off, my anti-spam word is BACON, thats a good start to the day.
Secondly, gotta say I was a bit disappointed by the article. Not because it was bad, but because when I read the title my eyes lit up with a great idea.
A dungeon crawl THROUGH some giant new Monster.
“This isn’t a cave, forget the Mynocks and lets get out of here!”

Yeah, I can understand your reaction. My Random Tables posts are usually a series of short texts about news item. When I’m done, I create a title by mashing all the news together.
Sorry! 🙂
Congratulations to the newly Wired RPG bloggers. Well deserved.
.-= Rick Krebs´s last blog ..the Quest continues =-.
looing aside the lack of giant monsters with intenstines to adventure through, congratulations on the wired linkage and high rating!
.-= Zzarchov´s last blog ..Now that my turns done, im going to wander off and get some coffee, tell me how much damage I took when I get back =-.
Thank you both! Its was such a nice surprise!
