News in Review for Jan 25 to Jan 31 2010
This has been one amazing week for Neuroglyph Games.
The big news, of course, comes with the first release of a Neuroglyph Games product! A Curse at the Old Inn was released last Thursday as a FREE adventure module, and in a three short days, it is now approaching 500 downloads from RPGNow! I am looking forward to hearing some feedback from DM’s and Players, and I hope gaming groups are enjoying the adventure as much as my two playtest groups did.
If you haven’t gotten a chance to download a copy of A Curse at the Old Inn, you might want to check out the full story.
I also received notification that my request for media access to the PAX East 2010 Convention was approved, and I can’t wait to be going to Boston in March to report on PAX! I’m very excited about the idea of covering the Convention as a member of the “press”, and look forward to blogging experiences of PAX East 2010 and posting pictures of the event all weekend. By the way, there is still time to register for PAX East 2010, which will be March 26th to March 28th 2010 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston.

About The Author
Sounds great! And hey, maybe I’ll see you at PAX.
That would be awesome! Are you going to have an exhibit there for Chaotic Shiny?
I’m definitely kinda hoping to meet some publishers, gamers, and other 4e community folks at the Con.
It’s probably too late to get that set up, and I don’t think I’m well-established enough yet. Perhaps next year. This year, I’m just hoping to go, mingle, and play some games. I’ve never been to a large con before, so just going will be exciting.
