Preparing for Gen Con: Almost There!

logo_indy I can’t believe it’s just a few days to Gen Con! To say I am excited would be an utter understatement. Currently the emotional state I am in can only be described as a weird mixture of anticipation and sheer panic.

This will be my first trip to Gen Con and the first time I ever leave Europe. Alas I am the kind of person who always ponders about all the bad things that could happen. And while I am pretty well prepared I still fear I might have forgotten something. These fears are usually pretty unfounded, but I already know I won’t sleep that well on the night before the flight!

But aside from that I am also positively excited. When I arrive at the airport in Indianapolis I will be picked up by Zachary Houghton and I’ll stay with him and his family for almost a week. I will be among friends all the time and I am pretty sure I’ll make a lot of new ones.

I will also bring a couple print copies of my new game with me. When I decided to attend Gen Con earlier this year, I never would have guessed I would bring my own roleplaying game with me. Currently I have no plans to run Warrior, Rogue & Mage there, but I know Zach and the others will keep asking me, until I give in…

One day before Gen Con my blog will also celebrate its 2nd anniversary. This will be another important milestone for me and I hope you’ll enjoy the posts published on that day. And no, I won’t bore you with statistics all day. Some blogger luminaries have agreed to provide some guest posts for that day, so make sure you check them out!

When this post will go live (I’ve written in on the weekend), my bags will be packed and I will be ready to go. On Tuesday I’ll leave early in the morning to the Frankfurt international airport from where I’ll start my first Gen Con trip. When everything goes as planned, I will post about my experiences soon!

iTunes Perhaps you remember the video review I posted a few days ago. Since I am using blip.tv to host it, it automatically get’s distributed to a number of video hosting sites.

In addition to that it’s available in the iTunes store, too (in the podcast category). When we upload more videos in the future, they get added there as well (as long as we use the MP4 format), so you can now subscribe to us in iTunes to get all of our upcoming video reviews, unboxing videos and probably my Gen Con coverage as well.

I hope to get the automatic distribution to YouTube working soon, too, in the meantime you can check out our page at blip.tv!

Realms of Cthulhu Giveaway Contest

Cover_RoC_LRGUPDATE: The contest is now closed. The winner will announced next week!

I promised you another giveaway contest and here it is! I still have one PDF copy of Reality Blurs’ excellent “Realms of Cthulhu” to give away. Realms of Cthulhu is a game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and uses the Savage World rules. Please note that you need a copy of the Savage Worlds Explorer’s Edition to play this game. For more details on RoC please check out the review I wrote a couple of weeks back.

So, what do you have to do to get the PDF copy of this fine book? This time it’s a bit more complicated. No simple comment will suffice. Send us a premise for a one-session Cthulhu scenario. You don’t have to write a full adventure, just write down enough information that someone could use this premise to flesh it out himself.

So, here are the rules for our “Realms of Cthulhu” contest:

  • Write a short premise for a one-session scenario.
  • Send your entry to info (at) stargazersworld (dot) com and use the subject “Realms of Cthulhu Contest”.
  • Since the prizes are coupon codes for RPGNow/DriveThruRPG, you need to register for an account there
  • The contest ends on noon of July 9th 2010 CEST (GMT +2)
  • My co-author Roberto and I will pick a winner
  • The winner will be announced in the week following July 9th.
  • The winning entry and a number of follow-ups (depends on how long the entries are and how many we get) will be posted on the blog. If you don’t want your entry be published here, let us know in your email.

Good luck and may the stars be right for you! If you have any questions regarding the contest please post in the comments below.
