The Friday Grab Bag - GM's Day Sale

With the holiday fast approaching, CMG is offering up some great prices on offerings for your GM or yourself.  All but three of the items in the CMG catalog are marked down to $1 and the remaining three items are at 50% off the normal selling price.  Grab something for you GM *OR* for yourself while the prices are so low.  Snag a copy of "30 Things Can Happen" for just one dollar here.

Also, the excellent "Fighting Fire - Ernie Gygax Benefit Adventure" is available for half the normal price here.

Finally, the dangerous sourcebook "Superstitions" is only one dollar, as well, here.

Events & Play Wednesday - Count-I-Con 2016

Chicago Wiz let me know about an event I had not know existed before and right in my own back yard.  He told me of Count-I-Con 2016 which takes place at the Lake County Fairgrounds in north Illinois in late August (27th & 28th?).  More specs can be found here.

While I understand gaming isn't meant to be the primary focus of the event, the organizers seem to be quite receptive to it.  They have a good space dedicated to gaming of 3,600 ft and run the spectrum from CCGs, wargames, RPGs and boardgames.  More on that here.

I know this is six months away but I figured for something this close to home I'd get some word out early.  Though we're past the early bird discount phase, they are still setting up the vendor space for anyone who might be interested in that aspect here.

Media News Monday - Science Plus

Over on io9.gizmodo.com, from when Ray Bradbury passed away over half a decade ago, they suggested we "Read the last thing Ray Bradbury ever wrote: An Ode to Books" here.

Also, on futurism.com, a couple years back, they heralded "Huge Collection of Free Science Books in Honor of World Literacy Day." Get the skinny of you missed it here.

Finally, on scifiagenda.com, they explain, "What the most mainstream lists of recommendations share is a tendency towards least common denominator appeal. Movies that stay in the middle and pacify the mind. It is our conviction that the thinking person often wants something more, something for both thoughts and senses; the visceral viewing of cerebral cinema."  There is quite a bit on that list I have yet to see.  I do highly recommend Moon (2009).  See the full list here.

Finally, on the Kirk Damato YouTube channel from a couple years back, it's "The epic fantasy adventure concerning a party of heroes... and the teenagers who control them through a role-playing game."  It's fine as a one off chuckle but it's a shame more was made of this.  Enjoy "Critical Hit!"
