Wolfgang Baur (left) and Sigfried Trent (right) manning the Kobold booth at Paizocon 2010. An awesome spread of loot (you can’t even see the traps), dire weasels safely hiding under the table, backs to the corner to keep an eye on everyone, a “secret door” behind for easy escape when (not if) things go badly: …
We’re recovering from the convention, sorting out cardboard boxes, new subscribers, and shoveling through inboxes. And I’m thrilled we went—it was a great convention in so many ways and we’ll definitely do it again next year! I just want to share three highlights with you, and a couple more shaky-cam pictures, behind the jump.
The first day of PaizoCon 2010 is in the history books, and the kobold crew has to say: We like this convention. Friendly, small, well-run. Also, full of chatty people who like the Open Design projects and the magazine. We should totally do this every year. Oh yeah, we do; lucky us! If you’re at …
So the setup is complete, and either we are ready or we’re woefully unprepared, but the time has come for the small horde to descend on the dealer room. Super Genius Games and Hero Labs share the space with us and Paizo. We’re releasing the print edition of the Kobold Guide to Game Design today, …

I’m licking my chops and looking forward to NorWesCon this weekend (obligatory con schedule link). Partly, I love it because it’s always a good show for both gamers and non-gamers. It’s heavy on costuming (my daughter’s take was “Look at all the princesses!” last year). Partly, I’m looking forward to it because the gaming track …
Wolfgang Baur has been invited as a panelist and speaker at NorWesCon 33, this April 1 to 4 in Seattle.

Indiecon is a small, indie-game oriented convention in Hoburne Naish in Southern England. It’s held in a caravan/chalet holiday site, right on the coast, but before you get visions of sun, sea, sand, and sorcery, it’s held off season at the end of autumn when things tend to turn stormy and wet. So much so …
