And from what The Wolf has heard… more to come!

Gaming with style…and privacy!

By Sean Nittner, on May 14th, 2012%

This room, minus the beds, plus a gaming table!

While The Wolf may like the raucous hub-bub of gaming in the open, Little Red prefers a bit more seclusion in her RPG venue. This year, by popular demand, Big Bad Con has added nine private rooms for RPGs, ni additon to the existing four boardrooms we had last year. This means if you have your pyschological horror game that needs low lighting and eerie music, it’s yours! If you make a lot of noise and want a private space so you don’t distrub the neighbors, it’s yours! If you need a room to hide the bodies of your players… well, talk to The Wolf on that one. He’s dealt with the woodsman before.

Space is limited. If you would like a private room, please head over to Run a Game and check the “request private room” box if you need one. Submit your game soon while space lasts!

HOOOOOOOWWWWWL

As Memorial day approaches, The Wolf wants to deputize fellow gamers to spread the “Howl of The Wolf”. In exchange, you get to be part of the con (listed in the credits as an supporter), get a shiny “Howl of The Wolf 2012” pin, and get a matching “Howl of The Wolf” badge for profile.

What The Wolf wants from you:

The Wolf has a big pile of shiny Big Bad Con Fliers and Business cards to hand out. You get a stack of 10 of each (or more if you want them). Give them out at your games or to people you talk to at the con.

What The Wolf will provide:

When The Wolf sees you at Kubla Con, he’ll had over the fliers and business cards. The Wolf will also link you to a the “Howl of The Wolf” badge you can add to your profile.

When you attend Big Bad Con, you’ll receive a special “Howl of the Wolf 2012” pin, which is only available to gamers who help advertise for the con in advance.

How to do it:

Simple, let The Wolf know you’re interested by joining this event on Facebook, commenting below, or emailing TheWolf@bigbadcon.com and he’ll arrange getting you the promotional material as well as get your name as you want it to appear on the credits for the con.

If you’re not attending Kubla Con but still want to spread the word (amongst your local gamers, at a store, at StrategiCon, etc) The Wolf is happy with that too, just let him know that when you click “Yes” and he’ll make arrangements to get you the goods.

Improv for Gamers

By Sean Nittner, on February 13th, 2012%

Improv theater teaches many skills that can make your game rock: collaboration, embracing failure, and generally feeling comfortable looking stupid. Yet, there is a divide to cross to get the gamer onto the stage. So Big Bad Con has brought the mountain to Mohammed. Come to the workshop and you’re going to explore dynamic characters, collaborative scene-building, and the success/complication model as it applies to role-playing games.

The workshop will be led by local improv instructor Mia Blankensop with co-organizers Karen Twelves and Matthew Klein.

What people said about the first Improv for Gamers workshop held January 2012:

“It was fabulous! Thank you for organizing this! The teachers, game-facilitators and everyone involved did a great job. They made at least this n00b feel comfortable and even have fun pushing her boundaries.” – Anonymous

“I had a great time, and now I have a fabulous vehicle for introducing my wife to gaming!” – Sean S.

“One of the best gaming experiences ever.” – Eric Z.
