GaryCon 2023 The Return of the Griffon


 The Return of the Griffon.    (The Hour of the Wolf)



In 2023, I will return to GaryCon since 2019 (Missing last years due to the mask mandate)

I will be running no more than 3 games, 12 hours and honestly, there is no incentive to run any more games


From the GaryCon Website


There are several reasons why I will not run additional games, one being their game policy. I cannot control the actions of Players and what decisions they make
  

From the GaryCon Website

To be honest, I really love to run RPGs. I really have a dislike for playing in other people's games at conventions. I either have to really like the person or have faith that they will run a good game.. If I play in your game, consider that a massive tribute (Even if you are VIP like James Ward and Ernie Gygax) 


I consider myself a much better player than a Dungeon Master.. Seriously, and I am an Amazing Dungeon Master.  I know that I have a tendency to take control of a game and assume leadership, lots of times I will try to play the Cleric to allow players to take more of the spotlight

 

I am going to play in more games than any other Convention I have attended.

The following are the Mood settings for the game

Susan Ivanova: My father told me about it. It's the time between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning. You can't sleep, and all you can see is the troubles and the problems and the ways that your life should've gone but didn't. All you can hear is the sound of your own heart. I've been living in the hour of the wolf for seven days, Lyta. Seven days. The wolf and I are now on a first-name basis. In times like this, my father used to take one large glass of vodka before bed. 'To keep the wolf away,' he said. And then he would take three very small drinks of vodka, just in case she had cubs while she was waiting outside.

Link to   HOUR OF THE WOLF

"The hour between night and dawn. The hour when most people die, when sleep is deepest, when nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their deepest fears, when ghost and demons are most powerful, the hour of the wolf is also the hour when most children are born." -From Ingmar Bergman's Film HOUR OF THE WOLF (Trailer)...


This will be the Final time I am running Dangerous Journeys at GaryCon, It probably will be my final time running game at GaryCon.. I have never been to a convention as a player, I think I would like to try that at the next GaryCon I attend
