We had a great time with Dungeon World last night. We had enough folks for two tables.

Thanks to Rob Ferguson for running the other game and to Russell Benner Scott Owen Jacob Densford Nikki Khan Andrew Schmelzle and the mysterious Steven M. for coming out!

Because I love you all so deeply (and tenderly), I do my best to find you good things from the Internet. The Bundle of Holding this week is a very interesting one. Pendragon has been on my radar for awhile, especially since a number of my game designer ‘heroes’ are currently playing it. The bonus bundle includes the legendary Great Pendragon Campaign, which is kind of neat.

Yesterday we played our first session of Annalise. I love, love, LOVE this game. It is so good. Perhaps a tiny bit more complex than most story games, but the payoff is well worth it. 

I’ll have more to share about the game and our specific story once we’re finished, but for now, I want to say thanks to Jessica Scott and Aaron Scott for running the game (we had enough people for two tables). And thanks to Rob Ferguson Steve Mains Ferrell Riley and Angel Ludwig for coming out!

Some pics from last night. We played Dungeon World and Arctic Scavengers. Thanks to Rob Ferguson Angel Ludwig Gary Wilson Russell Benner Scott Owen Jacob Densford and Nikki Khan for coming out!

Rob Ferguson and I often get asked “Where do you guys find these cool games?” The Story Games Forum is a terrific place to start (I have included a link). Signing-up for membership also gets you access to the Story Game weekly newsletters, which are probably my favorite emails to receive – they are chock-full of terrific, well-curated stuff.

The real mystery? By what arcane process does Daniel Lewis find the games he’s interested in? That is some next-level shit right there. 

I’ll include some other handy links in the comments. Feel free to share your own!

Along the shore the cloud waves break, 

The twin suns sink behind the lake, 

The shadows lengthen 

In Carcosa. 

Strange is the night where black stars rise,

And strange moons circle through the skies, 

But stranger still is 

Lost Carcosa. 

Songs that the Hyades shall sing, 

Where flap the tatters of the King, 

Must die unheard in 

Dim Carcosa. 

Song of my soul, my voice is dead,

Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed 

Shall dry and die in 

Lost Carcosa.

Here are some photos from Wednesday One-Shots, Friday Anthology, and Story Game Sunday. 

Games played: A Penny for My Thoughts, Dungeon World, Archipelago, The Dying Earth, and The Final Girl. 

Thanks to all attendees and game runners: Rob Ferguson Scott Owen Kristen D Russell Benner James Melott Angel Ludwig Daniel Fowler  Gary Wilson Shea Herlihy-Abba Doyle Tavener Daniel Lewis Steve Mains and a whole raft of people I can’t tag because they’re not in the G+ group: Rachel, Jeff, Catch (sp?), Sasha, Misha (sp?) and Josef.

We are growing, growing, growing! Here’s to the gamers who play!
