WOW! What an ORIGINS and GEN CON for 2024!

Created by: matt

This was an INCREDIBLE convention season so far!  The con population is BACK, baby!  

We had TWO incredible events at Origins: Our Friday night Cthulhu Masters' Tournament, with an appropriately creepy and spellbinding scenario written by Chris Tatum, and an equally fantastic THE ONE RING EPIC, created by Jim Berrier and Chris Tatum!  in the Masters' tournament, several tables played the same scenario and the table that completed the most objectives were THE MASTERS of the game.  It was a wildly dark ride through a scientist's failed(?) work using Serpent people technology.  THE ONE RING Epic was a two part game where multiple tables represented serveral groups trying different paths across Middle Earth to cleanse a Dwarven Stronghold held by Orcs!  Both special sessions were in high demand and we will definitely be brining them back for next year.

We also had a GREAT time with our new friend and special Guest, Kelsey Dionne of The Arcane Library and Creator of SHADOWDARK! We were thrilled to host a couple great seminars and an out of this world LIVE PLAY with Stephen Glicker, Brandon K Aten, John Kovalic and Chris O'Neil!

What's in store for 2024!

Created by: matt

Hello Lurkers!

Welcome to our NEW website!  We look forward to showing you all the news thats fit to file here for you.

We have come a LONG way in 4 short years and our group is ever expanding.  We already had a great start this year with River City Con, a great locat con here in Louisville, where a bunch of local GMs ran some terrific games and I was able to reconnect with my "Grognard Brigade" a group of gamers that's been doing it since they started printing stats, but without the whole being d*cks about it. 

We literally just wrapped up GAMA, which was also here in Louisville for the first time, and was thoroughly impressed and flattered to find so many in the gaming industry eager to talk with us about their plans for the future and how we can help. 

The con season gets really going with GARY CON, where Luke Gygax will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dungeons and Dragons with us and we will be running games there for MONGOOSE, 9th LEVEL games as well as Luke's new group, GAXX WORX!  We are honored and thrilled to be part of the action keeping the game going strong. 

Next will be Lexicon, a fun local con again which will warm us up for ORIGINS, where we have SO much planned for the players! We will have the biggest Cthulhu Masters Tournament ever with special Guest Star GMs like Dave Melville, Jon Hook, and Leslie "XPLovecat" Horn, as well as a massive THE ONE RING epic that will span 2 sessions and many tables! Come be a part of the new fellowship.  But that's not the half of it!  We will have a very special Guest of Honor to be announced soon that will head up many seminars we will be hosting on about diversity, independent publishers, and more!  I can't hardly wait to tell you who it is!

GEN CON will also be our biggest yet, as we will have THREE (!!!) different rooms to attempt to contain all the wild energy we will have at the con.   All of our publisher friends will be represented, including some new friends we can't talk about yet! Even PROFESSOR DM from DUNGEON CRAFT will don the Lurker cultist robes as he runs a special game of BLADE RUNNER for us in the game room!

And that's just half the year!  We are barely getting started!  Come join us and have the BEST time of your life gaming.
