Because of the pandemic, I’m only doing two conventions this year. The first is Gen Con — which happens this coming week — and you can see my relatively loose schedule for that here.
The second is my favorite local convention, Gamehole Con, which is held in Madison, Wisconsin, from October 21–24. My son Marty and I have a full slate of events planned for that, including no less than nine two-hour demos for our upcoming Shotguns & Sorcery 5E Sourcebook. Most of the tickets for those events are already sold out, although if you move fast you might be able to grab the last few.
In addition to those, on that Saturday morning at 10 AM I’m playing in a livestream of the Alien RPG to raise money for Extra Life, with Andrew Gaska, Teos Abadia, Banana Chan, and Toni Winslow-Brill
Later that day, at 2 PM, Mike Mearls (lead designer of Dungeons & Dragons 5E) is going to interview me about my career in “Conversations by Design: Matt Forbeck.”
Right after that at 4 PM Saturday, I’m on a panel with Mike, Elisa Teague, and B. Dave Walters called “System Design for TTRPGs.”
If you’re in the area and can make it, Gamehole Con is a wonderful show with a fantastic lineup of guests. They also require attendees to be both masked and vaccinated, so it’ll be as safe as such things can be these days. Come on out and join the fun!
