Had a Great Time at Feast of the Cyclops Con!

 

Greetings Adventurers!

Wow, I had a great time at Feast of the Cyclops con this past weekend. A HUGE thank you to all my players who took time out to playtest Hydra Hobbies two products in production. I can't make these better without your help and appreciate each and everyone's feedback both positive and negative! 'Tower needs a tiny bit more love before I send it off for approval but I'm still hoping for a Christmas release! So stay tuned.

It was a great con and it's taken me almost three days to recover from running three playtests and playing in three games. As you know I'm still recovering from heart surgery and I didn't think it would be that draining. I was wrong! I enjoyed watching Harley Stroh's celebrity adventure even though I had to leave to get some sleep (I had a 8am adventure I had to be in Sat and Sun mornings!). Shout out to all the Judge's that ran games that I played in and I look forward to seeing some of them in print soon. Especially a huge thanks to Tim Snider for running Eye of the Cyclops and giving me some great ideas for future products not to mention the fact that I won a printed copy of the adventure! 

Special shout outs for playtest feedback from Fernando, Ben, John, Tom, and especially Joe for his very detailed playtest feedback. I can't make these products better without playtesting them and my three groups at FOTCC were amazing. I can't thank you guys enough. 

Well loyal fans, my nose is down on the keyboard fixing errors and adjusting DCs and stats. Soon there will be products emerging from Hydra Hobbies. Keep an eye out as the marketing machine will be starting up soon.

Feast of the Cyclops Con Approaches!

 Greetings Adventurers and NEW Friends!


Feast of the Cyclops Con approaches next weekend and I know many of you visiting here are here for the pre-gen characters to use in Hydra Hobbies games that will be playtested during this fantastic online convention. Have no fear! I've finally posted ALL of the necessary choices for both 1st Level and 2nd Level DCC Characters to use in The Tower of the Mad Mage Mazdor™ and The Dungeon of the Tormentor. Head on over to the pre-gen section listed above or click on this link to make your selections. Maybe some of you old skoolers might recognize my homages to the World's Greatest RPG from the 80's? Feel free to e-mail me at WToporek@aol.com for any questions or if you want to use your own character (Just hit me up at least one day before the game so I can review and approve your character.)

I'll also be PLAYING (yes, the eternal GM/Judge is finally going to get some player time!) in a few games at the con so if you want to play some DCC with me I'll be in the following game sessions:

The Last Pikeman Saturday 9am
Freedom from Law Saturday 8pm
Eye of the Cyclops Sunday 9am

Come join me for some great gaming and fantastic fun the weekend of November 14th-16th! Oh and keep your eyes open for me or my alter gaming ego Spartan519 as I will also be attending other random DCC events throughout the con.
