This morning’s #BooksandBrews (and likely for the foreseeable future) is a deep dive into different genres. First up for today, tomorrow, and probably a few weeks: Glen Cook’s The Black Company. Dark, gritty, relentless... exactly the kind of fuel I need.
Bought the series on Kindle when Arc Dream announced the TTRPG. So happy to hear you’re working with them now. Congratulations!
I’ve just downloaded the first 3 to Kindle - if you guys at #ArcDream see something in them then I have to see what the fuss is all about 👍
My favorite fantasy series, proof being that I’ve actually read the whole thing :)
I just scored one of his Garrett Files books at a sidewalk sale.
Loved these in my youth, re-read them just a couple of years ago. Was pleasantly surprised to find more of them had come out for the second time around :)
In the middle of book two, Shadows Linger, in preparation for joining in the playtest up at Kamloops. Such great books. 😊
This is the first I've ever heard of a con in Kamloops, and I'm originally from Vancouver. Fascinating. Do you know when it began?
It’s my first time going and flying from California. @jdroucker.bsky.social invited me up so I am sure he can tell you.
@dungeonsandpossums.com, we've been going for 8 years now, with a couple of virtual cons during the covid years. Still managing to get bigger and bigger every year! Getting the exclusive first public games of Arc Dreams Black Company rpg, run by @shaneivey.bsky.social himself is a huge honor!
@dungeonsandpossums.com We've got amazing guests, @drgonzo123.bsky.social (Dennis Detwiller), Avery Alder, @brendanlasalle.bsky.social... All sorts of events, games (over 80 sessions scheduled so far) and panels.
That's so awesome! I'm so glad to hear there's such a passionate base for the hobby out there. I'm a long way away these days (moved to TX in 2015) but if I am ever back home again, I'll make a point of it!
We'd love to have you, of course!
Very kind! 😊
Yep, unlike EVERY other con, we're the kind one!🤪😂
A fine quality to keep hold of! 😂
Humblebraggart. I have yet to read volume one in preparation for imminent publication. The pictures are looking sweet so far is all I can say.
😅 You think that’s bad, just wait until I get there.
