Legendary ConFusion: Author D&D III
Posted by Meg
What could be more awesome than eight fantasy authors and one generous fan playing D&D?
Playing in at a con with fans watching?
Filming the whole thing to share on Youtube?
Keep the game going by handing it off to other fantasy authors and fans?
Let’s do all three! Author D&D Part III is back this coming weekend at Legendary ConFusion in Detroit.
This year, we’ve got a seriously awesome line-up of authors to play three hours of filmed classic D&D: Cherie Priest, Wesley Chu, Kelley Armstrong, Sam Sykes, Myke Cole and Rich Morris with Peat debuting as DM along with Howard Taylor.
For the final player, we ran an auction via Worldbuilders, a charity founded by fantasy author and past Author D&D player Patrick Rothfuss. We did this last year as well with really fun results. Simon will be joining the other authors as the ninth player.
Oh, and I almost forgot the coolest part: Howard Taylor has hand painted minis for all the players. Check it out:
L-to-R, Front-to-Back, we have Kelley, Mike, Rich; then Sam, Wes, Simon, and Cherie.
Drow Goddess Lloth, the Spider Queen, and her minions, the Driders. It is she with which the players must contend.
For those of you attending Legendary ConFusion, the game will be held in The Great Room, so fans can watch. The game with start roughly around 9am and will run until noon this Saturday, January 18th. The game will be filmed, edited together and posted to Youtube later this year. We’ve done this the last two years. You can check out last year’s game below:
At noon, the game will continue with a new batch of authors to take over the (surviving) characters. The second round of players includes: Kameron Hurley, Bradley Beaulieu and Brian McClellan. Jason Utz will DM.
Fans are welcome to volunteer to play. The film crew will be gone, but feel free to take pictures and film to your heart’s content. It may end up in the final cut. Send all footage and pictures to pa@www.petervbrett.com.
