Over half way through 17, hopefully playtest early/late Nov (meanwhile I write 18) then playtest again around x-mas/new years.

Ok so update time. Both playtests have been done, 17 has already been re-written, and all that's left is 18's re-writes and the PA.

As for Total Con, they hit a new record, they'll have 900 events available over the course of the con. Woo!

If you want to check out events you can find them HERE

And if you're curious where we'll be, all our events are in Sterling (that's the first room on the left as you go down the gaming hall).

Mark,

Unfortunately I have a scheduling conflict this year and will not be able to make PAs at TotalCon. (Although I will play the episodes on earlier days). Do you mind holding off the opening of the Meadery/Mead Hall until 2020?

Thanks,

Paul / Sigvald

No way we could do it without you Paul. Consider it tabled until next year.

Tabled...yes, the tables are on back order. Can't get them for at least a month. Sorry to delay your opening.

Reg is open for the plebeian masses. I actually have legit tickets to all of the Saturday games instead of generics.

Ok I noticed a small problem.
Somehow (probably my fault) the system says that the PA only has 6 seats available. DO NOT PANIC. There are open gaming areas, and I'm working with TC to borrow a table in the same room. So no matter what, we should be fine. See you in just a couple of weeks!

Since it is a pirate game shouldn't we just board and take over another table?

I know this is thread necromancy, but I think in this case it's warranted.

2019 was the year we were introduced to one of the most heroic ends to Episode 17 I have ever seen. One of our players when confronting the final baddy reasoned out there was no real way to guarantee success unless one of the players sacrificed themselves. And then proceeded to do just that, dying to ensure a horrible creature would not be set loose on an unsuspecting population.

The player's name was Corey Scott, and he was a first time gamer with us. He fit in right away and I knew he'd be a wonderful addition. I am not ashamed to admit I even tried to poach him from Dark Phoenix Games because he was truly terrific. I had been hoping to speak with him about coming back to our games this year, but alas, we were forced to skip Total Con.

So I contacted him via FB to see if he'd be going to the first ever Dark Phoenix Con, and sure enough he was. We talked a little about what he was planning on playing and upon hearing we'd be there too, he signed up. And that unfortunately, was the last time we talked.

Yesterday morning he died after contracting COVID several weeks ago.

I just hate this...

Please take care of yourselves, I don't want to write any more of these.
