Month: January 2013

Well, Vermincon is behind us, and we’ve got it locked into our con schedule for next year. There have been some dramatic improvements over the last few years, the atmosphere has greatly changed, and it was a fantastic experience. For all those who are able to come in January 2014, we very strongly recommend that…

Kevin spent most of the day talking with people and working on Adventure in a Con! and got most of it written. Fredd Gorham is working on the artwork for it and it’s looking very good that it will be done very shortly. Due to impending weather, Kevin doesn’t think that we’ll be done before…

Count this as the official announcement – A Darkness at Summerfort, the long-awaited first adventure for both the Eiridia setting and Ingenium, will be released next Sunday. This adventure, for all that it’s a relatively short 25 page dungeon romp, represents an informal launch of Eiridia itself. And here’s the next big announcement …

We arrived at Vermincon later than expected, and the booth was set up for the first time after the backdrop was painted. We were surprised and pleased at the growth of the convention over the last few years; Silver Gryphon has been coming to this convention for a few years in some form or function,…

Well, it’s Friday, and we’re off to our first con of the year! We’re headed to Vermincon, a little con put on at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD. It’s shaping up to be a great weekend, and we’re trying out all kinds of new things. If you’ve been watching Twitter, you’re starting…

Well, it’s that special day of the week again, but this one is a little better than most. Today is a day that we here in America commemorate one of the greatest speakers and the most influential people of the 20th century. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man who was fighting a…

In Eiridia’s continent of Galtharion, where Summerfort is located, some civilizations have harnessed magic in ways that improve the quality of life of everyday people. Chief among these are Rekellia and Nardora. Summerfort, being nominally a Rekellian city, enjoys some of these comforts.

UPDATE 2: 10:25PM We wrapped up the game, it was a Persian, Clockwork-tech, Tragedy, Horror game. Oh yes, PCs will die. It is the year 360 BC (to our reckoning). They are on the way up to check out some mysterious temples that have started springing up. The characters are all from Babylon and headed…

We’re kicking off our con schedule this year with one that’s just a hop, skip, and a jump for Kevin. Vermincon is a small convention put on by the University of South Dakota games club, in conjunction with the MAGE (Mid-west Area Gaming Enthusiasts) organization. We’ll be there, with our Booth Babe Yuki watching the…

The city of Summerfort is big enough to support several temples to various gods of Eiridia. Each of these represents a particular “cult,” to use the Ancient Egyptian connotation of the word. Patron gods in Eiridia are not like those of other popular fantasy settings; rather than being a spell flavor, each deity’s followers have…
