It's been a long time coming. The project has been started twice, delay several times, and had numerous other obstacles. At times I felt this whole idea of a Darwin's World Savage Worlds was just cursed. But it's finally here (well, at least the first book).

Gencon 2009 has come and gone and I'm finally feeling normal. It was a great week of gaming. I ran 3 events (Darwin Race, Revenge of the Terminals, and Inferno). The groups were great fun. Two of the three groups consisted mostly of people who had never heard of Darwin's World which was great. The last one was mostly fans which made for a really fun and experienced game.

The Darwin Race adventure didn't go as well as I hoped. The adventure needs a lot of tweaking so it may be a few weeks before I release that. I played Revenge of the Terminals again as an event, and I think it's the best gencon adventure I've written. It just works very well for a convention event. Sometimes you strike gold and sometimes you don't.

I played a ton of board games too, which is what I do at night. I played some Power Gird, Game of Thrones, Twilight Emporium (I won), Steam, Cash and Guns, and some hearts. I always purchase at least 2 new board games and this year it was Steam and Neuroshima Hex. We played Steam twice, playing it wrong both times, so the verdict is still out on that one. I haven't played Neuroshima Hex. It's a post apocalyptic board game import from Poland. Tell me that doesn't sound awesome!

One thing that is always great about gencon is that it really recharges you creative batteries. Normally I come home with lots of ideas, but that is often stifled in some ways as I normally have a slate of projects 6-8 months in the pipe. But this year I only have a few minor things. So I'm very excited.

Gencon is almost upon us, and I'm spending all my free time preparing for my gencon events. I had intended to do a 2-parter this year (Darwin Race & Alien Blasters), but the part 2 of my event just isn't coming together like I intended and I'm running out of time. So rather than rush to finish something I'm not happy with, I'm going to focus on making the first adventure as good as I can. I'm also rolling some of the ideas from part 2 into part 1.

If you're a player signed up for part 2 of the event, have no fear. I'll be bring last years gencon adventure plus one from my back catalog to run in it's place. The players will vote on which one they want to run.

I'm doing the player characters right now, I'll post some over the next few days.

See you in Indy!
