If anyone else is in the Baltimore metro area on the east coast of the US, you may want to stop by the Unpub convention, now in its 8th year. Entry is free for playtesters, and since we have the entire hotel for the run of the convention (round noon Friday to 7pm Sunday) there will be plenty of opportunities to see new games in-the-works, as well as open gaming outside the normal exhibition hours.

I'll be there showing a recent re-work of my game -Space Scavengers- Saturday evening and Sunday morning, as well as playing and socializing throughout the entire weekend. Hope to meet some BGDF folks in person...! :D
