Check for traps. True Dungeon returns to GenCon Indy this year. This d20 variant, created by Jeff Martin of Dwarven Forge fame, is part RPG, part LARP, giving fans of D&D a chance to act out real-life adventures in a full-sized dungeon without all the running around in the woods waving foam swords. Wil Wheaton did it, so it must be cool.

  • In addition, we will offer a special commemorative tankard that can be used to purchase beer from a special Marriott-staffed bar inside the Inn. Are you sure TSR didn't come up with this?
  • Oh! My! God! The nerd-omatic is so going off the register. I want to go, but the hot-chick-o-meter is reading zero...
  • *all gamer chicks on mofi give cold look to quinn types again*
  • It's ok. I go to GenCon but don't do the Living Dungeon. So this hot chick will be elsewhere!
  • Boy, to be a Marriot staffer on LARP day... "Victuals? I think we have a vending machine near the elevators..."
  • It'll be in a convention center with thousands of gamers. By that time, the hotel staff should be numbed to the wackiness.
  • qta failed the saving roll for an original thought.
  • And no, it's not cool because Wil Wheaton did it. Why does anyone care what he does or says or thinks?
  • Why does anyone care what he does or says or thinks? Die, infidel! *throws +10 Hammer of Monkey Smiting*
  • Kidding. I don't even know who Wil Wheaton is.
  • *gasp!* He was Wesley Crusher on Star Trek TNG!!1 *offers Alnedra Ring of Infinite Geek Knowledge for 500 GP*
  • more to the point, Wheaton's a web geek like most of the rest of us- which is to say, not especially cool, but nonetheless one of us...
  • NEEEEERDS!!!11!1eleven I keed...sorta. =)
  • I just love how fangirly Wil got when he got a voice part for GTA: San Andreas.
  • You all meet in an smoky inn on the outskirts of town, where thieves skulk in darkened corners and the dwarf bartender serves foaming tankards to barbarians fresh from the frozen wastes of the north...
  • Only if I can spend my reward on Ale and Whores.
  • Oh to be again at tournament with a beautiful woman on my arm, crowned king and queen of the con... I will never be that envied again. ever.
  • Rorschach, here you go.
