Chatty DM and I have officially started working on our now-annual Gen Con event, Drunken Dungeons & Dragons. What started as a small group of blogging friends has turned into an event, which is still kinda weird to us (and has come with some growing pains, as these things do.)
We’ll be posting up a few snippets of development here on Roll, though the majority of it will remain hidden until after the adventure- we like to spring as much as we can on the players as close as possible to keep the surprise. But I hope you’ll find what he can share interesting anyway.
Here’s the week’s developments:
- Tentative background for the adventure, with some ties to the ending of last year’s adventure.
- First round of invitations sent, with the rule “we have to have met you before, so if you want to play in future years, come meet us!”
- Two extra DMs secured if the numbers need it (which I’m pretty sure they will.)
- Sober table – for our friends who don’t drink but want to join in.
- New drinking mechanic designed. We thought the Drinking Power Cards from last year were a big hit (sometimes literally) so we’re riffing off that again.
- Decision to mash up several of the games we’ve been talking about this year into a D&D adventure.
- First draft of how to do characters sent.
So a lot of details hammered down… nothing decided about the adventure itself yet. But we have IDEAS and about a month to make it happen. Here we go.
Been going to Gen Con since 2000 and I thought I was going to miss this year… just found out I can attend after all, and I’d like to meet you guys because “we have to have met you before, so if you want to play in future years, come meet us!”
Anyway, hope you have a good Con and hope to run into you!

Expect news on that in a week or so!
