This past weekend I had a vendor table at NTRPG Con 2016. I was mostly stuck to my booth, but I met quite a few awesome people hustled a few copies of A Field Guide to Hot Springs Island. On Saturday Evan and Donnie made it up (and promptly took this awesome picture of me not looking at them after they handed me awesome magnets to look at) and ran an impromptu game of Hot Springs Island using D&D 5e.


By all accounts it went well!

Swordfish Islands at Chupacabra Con 2016 - A Recap

The Good Things:
People said some very nice things about Hot Springs Island, the highlights being: About The Dark of Hot Springs Island (The GM book) "I've never been so excited about a book I can't have". About the Field Guide (paraphrased) "[The Game Master at my table] said your book was the best $20 he's spent at this convention and that I needed to buy a copy too, so tell me about your game."

If people would give me 10 seconds, they'd almost always end up giving me several minutes of their time, and probably money or at least an email address. They also appeared to be legitimately enthused when they walked away, or at least more animated.
