I’ll’ write a session breakdown later this week after some decompression. I had a lot of fun and ran some really great games. Got see my system played by some really talented players. This helped show some flaws that need adjusted. I’m excited to be able to flesh out some of these finer points.
Ta for now

The wire frames for the wings. Should have all finished by the weekend. Next picture will be the unveiling at Gen Con!
Captains Quarters and Storeroom have been built. Need to do some finishing touches on the mast. Next comes the Wings and the Sail. 
The first level is done minus refinements and such.
This will be my first 3D map adventure. I am getting excited for Gen Con!

So here is the first stage of the Slave Ship for my Gen con adventure. I will have it done in the next few weeks. I still have to cut and make the wings.
For people not familiar with this adventure. My players are slaves on an elf ship. They have no weapons and limited ability to use their magic. They have to battle the crew for their freedom before they reach port and they lose their number advantage.
This ship will hold 15 players and 4 crew. All the battles to take place on the ship. It is a lot of grindy fun.
Should have a more up to date picture after the weekend.

Darkmore Besieged – Overthrow the Baroness!
Here are the games I am running at this year’s Gen Con.
As with my previous post Darkmore will my biggest gaming event to date. A huge adventure with lots of action and role playing combined.
It is not one to be missed.
I hope to see you in Indy!

This year at Gen Con 2014 I will be running what will be my biggest adventure to date. Back in 2010 when I first ran Darkmoor besieged It was kind of a mess. A fun mess, but a mess nonetheless. Three mini campaigns with 10 people each leading to a large scale assault on the Baroness’ keep. It was a lot of fun and almost a 10 hour game. However it was all over the place. No real rhyme or reason.
Over the last few years I have been tweaking it and fleshing out some of the side missions. My friend Aaron added some really good ideas and helped me get as sense of bringing all together instead of the random chaos that it was in its original form. This year it should be quite something to experience
Brief synapsis of what I will be running at Gen Con
Darkmoor Besieged
Baroness Von Darkmoor is a tyrant. She runs her husbands Barony with ruthless efficiency. Her husband was once a respected and powerful earth magicka, now he is simply a figurehead. Terrified of his wife and unable to rise up against her he holds up in his study day in and day out.
The missions will involve taking advantage of her being at her much less guarded Lower Barony Keep.
Players will be broke up into 3 groups after choosing one of 6 missions. Each missions will have a benefit to their final mission of taking the Baroness at her keep. Each mission will also have a consequence to not doing it, making the final mission harder. Players will have to choose which ones they want to do and what they want to skip.
I will be having 3 guest GMs/ NPC runners to help me tell and control the overall story.
These missions will be run by the GM’s with me running the story and adding “complications”
After a set amount of time the group will come together to start the main siege. This will be whether they completed their side mission or not.
The final siege will be an epic battle to take the Baroness and restore the rightful ruler.
This should be a fantastic adventure and I hope its a game you are considering playing this year.
See you in Indy
