Once again some of the Gnomes will be rolling into Indy next week, and today’s article is about where we will be and how you can find us. Despite the bad press 4e has been giving us Gnomes, we are a social bunch, and nothing gives us more of a thrill than getting to meet the people who read Gnome Stew, and write the comments that spark the discussions that make this blog great. So lets see who is going and how you can find…

This coming Sunday (May 1st) after you have gotten over your Royal Wedding hangover, is Gen Con Event Registration. For those attending, this is the time for the mad scramble to get into events before your fellow dice monkeys grab all the free seats. For some there will be the sweet taste of victory and for others just a fist full of Generic tickets and a mass of frustration. So while you are sitting with your Excel spreadsheet plotting out five levels of event picks,…

We at the Stew love to please our readers, so I took some time at GenCon, and got a chance to play a small demo of Apocalypse World (AW) with it’s creator, Vincent Baker, as well as picking up a copy of the book. My intention was to do a straight up review of the game, but as it turns out, my good friend the ChattyDM…

Today is the unofficial last day to post a Gen Con review, and I did not want 2010 to go by without saying a few things about my experiences at Gen Con. As always, it was an exciting time filled with new games, new ideas, and great friends. I will do my best to give you a high level overview of all the things that went on this year, in this link-olicious review. This year’s Gen Con was very busy for me, and it looked…

Last night at the ENnies, Gnome Stew won silver for Best Blog! Thank you to everyone who voted for us — you rock, and we were bowled over by our win. Wolfgang Bauer’s Kobold Quarterly took the gold, and I’m proud to have lost to Wolfgang. Congratulations to our fellow nominees, Critical Hits, Newbie DM, and One Geek to Another, as well as honorably mentioned Sarah Darkmagic — we were in excellent, excellent company this year. This is my first time in front of a…

There are going to be a fair amount of Gnomes/ex-patriot Gnomes at Gencon this year. We’ve got a lot of things going on: Eureka being distributed through Studio 2 Publishing (Booth #320), The Cooking Up Adventure Plots with Gnome Stew seminar, The Ennies Dinner, running various games, and ritual Halfling murder. So finding us to say hi (we don’t bite above the kneecap) won’t be too hard. There are 2 guaranteed events where you can find almost all of us to say hi or get…
