DIY Dice Tower

Wynmeth is voted off the Island! Elemental Evil--D&D Encounters S20 S4

 Another great week of D&D Encounters at Comic Quest started with Chase taunting us from Hawaii

Luckily we had something with which to whip our tears from our eyes

Then I tried to take a Pano photo inside the room

which I always seem to have a hard time getting started

and seems to stop and just take a regular picture cause I am doing something wrong

and then when I get it does not really look as awesome as I had hoped.

Our table did look fantastic

I had some great Gamescience dice to make up for the recently stolen D20

Here are the theives dice--not the high number of unmatching D6's--which is likely the sign of a deeper problem...is there a specific word for Dice Kleptomania



In any event, the other players all have these awesome Dice towers, so I made one from a Pringles container

I tore the bottom off of another tube to make an angled plane that would kick the die out



It worked great

Jack and then tried to design a logo for the Bull Rushers. Here is his design--which is pretty great

My design is Bull Horns on Getty Lee, which I think is a winning combination even if I did not capture it very well

The adventure was fantastic--with Six Very different PCs and players.

Our Trojan Horse wagon adventure to capture the bandits worked very well

but in the end, my PC--the great Deep Gnome Bard Sage Wynmeth was voted off the island Survivor Style...Great fun.

D&D Podcast ORGANIZED PLAY: ELEMENTAL EVIL review

Another fantastic Podcast featuring Shelly & Bart!

This one focused on something I am actually very interested in, so I may have loved it more than normal. 

Chris Tulach and Chris Lindsay are awesome guests who not only provide a ton of great content & insight into the Adventure League, highlighting several of the upcoming changes, and are just generally awesome representatives of D&D.

The name of Demogorgon's heads (Aameul  & Hethradiah) is discussed--but they do not resolve the eternal conflict of which is which in the below picture.

The Location of Tiamet's brains is reviewed--I had never actually thought about this--I had always assumed that each head operated kind of independently based on its nature & that she was the collection of those actions...but a central mind does make a lot more sense...I will work on this one...

There are some great quotes--Shelly's "don't speak for me" is hilarious, but I think defining PC as Plot Corrupter is absolute gold.

I strongly recommend that you listen to this one.

THE ROLE OF LOCAL COORDINATORS IN THE D&D ADVENTURERS LEAGUE

Here is a good article on the role of a LC in the AL.

The basic break down is 

1. Social Media
2. Store Support
3. Convention Support
4. Supporting players, DMs, Organizers, & Store Owners
5. Playing & DMing

and then there is a separate section on LC's not being the police and do not make the rules, which I really appreciate.

Extra Life Orange County Guild Meeting

Last night there was a Guild meeting at the Art Institute building right next to my work. 

This was awesome not only because it was so close, but because I ran into Brian!

The meeting itself was good--the event is a long time off so a lot of the discussion is still around early planning, but it looks like this year will be even bigger than last year.

I have created the Tuesday page, but do not plan to get the boys started in their fund raising until Summer time. 

The T-Shirt design contest has been extended.

The Pod-Cast is being updated.

There is a D&D Game being scheduled for Mike's house on 05/09/2015.

All in all, another great Guild meeting.
