I just got back from a week and a half in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and Michigan, and I’m off to Comic-Con International this week. You might have noticed that Deadpool Role-Plays the Marvel Universe came out for the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game while I was gone, and that World of Warcraft Chronicle IV (which my son Marty wrote most of) released too. If those are your kinds of things, I hope you enjoy them!
For Comic-Con, Marty and I have a signing at the Dark Horse Comics booth on Wednesday night, plus a few huge events set up with MAVERiC Studio and UCSD on Thursday and Friday. I also have a panel on Saturday.
Here’s a cool promo video for the UCSD event:
Details for all events here:
Wednesday, July 24
- 6 PM: Signing for World of Warcraft Chronicle IV in the Dark Horse Comics booth (#2615), inside the convention center.
Thursday, July 25
- Noon – 9 PM: A Day with Matt Forbeck. This is at Park & Market, a short walk from the convention center, and it’s free! No badge required! Marty and I and a fantastic cast are doing an actual-play game — set in my Shotguns & Sorcery world — to celebrate 50 years of Dungeons & Dragons. That runs from 1 –5 PM. Afterward, there’s a steampunk cosplay mixer with music and wild new drinks, including (hopefully) a dragonfire cocktail.
- Tickets are free, but you should grab them here to guarantee you can get it.
Friday, July 26
- 10 AM – 1:30 PM: A book signing at the UC-San Diego Bookstore. This is also free, and no ticket necessary. Just come out and say hi!
- 1:45 PM – 3 PM: A live discussion being recorded in The Basement, Room 151.
- This is free too, and you can get tickets for it here.
Saturday, July 27
- 10 – 11 AM: Celebrating 50 Years of Dungeons & Dragons. Room 6DE, in the convention center. Industry experts Anjali Bhimani (Desi Quest, Critical Role), Kailey Bray (producer), Luke Gygax (founder, Gary Con), Jim Zub (author, Dungeons & Dragons, IDW Publishing), and Matt Forbeck (writer, game designer, Endless Quest) share how Dungeons & Dragons has taken its place on top of the pop culture dungeon. Moderated by Ross Thompson.
Whew! That seems like enough! Anyhow, I hope to see you there — and if you’re not there, I hope to see you at Gen Con next week instead!
