Man, Guardians of the Galaxy was a great movie. I’m so glad I went to see it. That raccoon is something else.
Time to make some tea. Mmmm. Tea. A good way to start the day.
What day is it? Oh, it’s August 4th.
Wait. Why does that ring a bell?
Waaaaaaaait.
…
GEN CON IS NEXT WEEK. HOW IN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?
Okay okay. Calm down. Write a list. I’m good at lists. Lists are your friend.
OH GOD OH GOD I ONLY HAVE A WEEK TO PREPARE.
Calm down. List. Liiiiiiiiiist.
Okay. Have some more tea. Man, I want to watch that movie again.
NO TIME. MUST MAKE LIST FOR GEN CON.

IT GOES ON THE LIST.
What else, what else? Gaming! Duh. How can I forget that? It’s only the whole point of the con. Great job, Eddy. I should check out the website.
WHOA! 114 EVENTS? AND the Wrecking Crew are coming back to Gen Con?! Wow, that’s awesome! But I should put them all into one place, so I know when they’ll be. Maybe a PDF. That sounds good.
Okay, what next? What next? God, there’s so much to do. Check my email, maybe that’ll give inspiration. Oh, hey, there’s an email from Mike Chaney about the art schedule….
ART DIRECTION
White Howlers – Leblanc is on that.
Book of the Deceived – Sam is still working on them.

Umbra – Contracting that out before I head out for Gen Con.
Excellent. Art stuff is… arting? Artful? I should look that up.

That reminds me. I need to get at least one more Clan up for open development. Maybe the Followers of Set? Yes, I’m already halfway through that one, so I’ll get that up soon. But then I really need to get ready for Gen Con.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
No, it’s cool. I’ve got this. I just need to take a breath and relax.
…
Wait, I still have to write the Monday Meeting blog.
…
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Reasons to Drink: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, I wish I could go to Gen Con as well.
Btw, what is WoD Hurt Locker?
Full info on that when we post next year’s projects with our Gen Con activities next Thursday. Also, for those at the con, we’ll be talking about those projects at Saturday’s panels.
Well, my interest is piqued!
That was an error on my part. Apologies!
“VtM Black Hand”
Oooooohhhhhhh! 😀
Still *really* wishing I could be at GenCon for the (hopeful!) Changeling 20th announcement….
Yep. That pretty much captures pre-Gen Con craziness!
If I can get into the White Wolf panels, I’ll see what I can do to video record them as well.
Rocket & Groot = Best bromance in the MCU, hands down. Those two together were a treat to see on screen. Actually, the entire movie was just so much damn fun to watch.
Also, see you at GenCon. In fact, I think I owe you a drink, Eddy.
Woo! Free drinks!
GotG was so freaking good. I love action-adventures in space. With Marvel characters.
And Groot.
Why is the Demon’s player guide still under “Art Direction”? Wasn’t it available on PDF over a month ago?
It’s under that heading as I’m looking at the PoD proof this week.
I hate it to play the German smartypants, but I read the Gen Con Schedule and stumbled over two German titles which are actually … well … not German. I will not moan, just to let you know: I know that “Denn die Todten Reiten Schnell” is actually a Bram Stoker quote but in real German it should be “Denn die Toten reiten schnell”.
The Second one is “Vergessen Asche”. I think you mean something like “Vergessene Asche” (forgotten ash), or “Asche des Vergessens” (ash of oblivion). I don’t think you mean “forget the ash”. In that case you have to turn it: “Asche vergessen”, but that sounds very odd.
Again, I really sorry, I hate it to do so (and your German is maybe better than my english), but I thought you should know.
The only events we’re responsible for are the “What’s Up” seminars. All the game sessions are run by fans or demo organizations. We have no input on the names they use, I just repeated them in the document.
Hey guys, ever heard of Hawaii Con?
No? That’s normal, cause this year is the the first Hawaii Con ever!
http://www.hawaiicon.com/
Want to meet stars, talk about fantasy, science and science-fiction, and at the same time enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches, forests, and mountains in the US?
Then come to the Big Island of Hawaii September 12-14!
Are there going to be any updates for Wraith 20? I only ask because its getting close to the anticipated date and there hasn’t been much in the way of updates for it.
Rich Dansky only started contracting writers last month. I’m sure it’ll be a while before there are any substantive updates.
Love the post and kudos on the Tag. Ha!

I was especially pulled in by the first-person narrative of a man struggling to make sense of a world in complete chaos; struggling against the impossibility of enough time to make sense of it yet never losing sight of what was important.
Review: 5/5
Thanks. 🙂
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI’M HOOKED ON A FEELING!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I understand.
question: was the Exalted comic only a 1 shot or is it possible that theres more on the way? it seems to leave off at such a point i feel like theres more story after it but i havent seen much in terms of there being any plans for any more releases beyond this one :{.
ah well still have EX3 to look forward to ^_^
It was only intended as a one-shot, but as always, we’re not closing the door on the possibility of more in the future.
Weill you do a youtube vid of the Trinity-Panel?
Not a video, but I’ll try to get an audio recording.
That will be much appreciated it you can 😀
After the technological breakdown we had last year, I’ll bring my dictaphone, too, for redundancy.
