Gen-Con 2023 Attendees Will Be Able To Play Test ‘Dragonbane’
by Anton Kromoff
Welcome to the table,
One of the biggest conventions in gaming, Gen Con, is quickly approaching! For over 55 years Gen Con has been the largest and longest-running gaming convention in North America. Founded in 1967 by D&D co-creator Gary Gygax, Gen Con has grown from a small dedicated local crowd in the early days to now tens of thousands of attendees from around the world.
The fine folks at Free League are going to be at Gen Con in full force and are inviting all of us to a showcase for exciting news reveals and a Q&A with the game creators!
Also, Free League is teaming up with The Glass Cannon network for an all-star actual play in person of the highly touted ( by me and many others ) TTRPG Dragonbane ahead of the August 15 official release, as well as offering quick demos of the game!
If you are looking for an alternative fantasy game that prioritizes group play with some less crunchy rules, I really think you should be checking out Dragonbane.
The Free League showcase will take place on Thursday, August 3rd at 11 am in room ICC #244 and you can sign up at the link to participate!
The panelists include:
Tomas Härenstam, co-founder of Free League and lead game designer of the Dragonbane, Blad Runner RPG, ALIEN RPG, Twilight: 2000, Forbidden Lands, and Mutant: Year Zero.
Luke Stratton, designer of the upcoming MÖRK BORG spin-off game PIRATE BORG
Johan Nohr and Christian Sahlén, designers of MÖRK BORG and CY_BORG
Carl Niblaeus, designer of Death in Space
Kiku Pukk Härenstam, co-writer of Vaesen: Seasons of Mystery and Vaesen: A Wicked Secret
There are also going to be drop-in seats available in room ICC #138 where Free League, in partnership with Lurking Fears, will have over 90 games running over the weekend, including a 30-minute sneak-peak demo for Dragonbane.
Until next time, if you are heading to Gen Con please please please check this out. I love Dragonbane and think if you are in any way interested in the fantasy TTRPG space you are going to for sure want to check it out.
