Next up at Burning Wheel HQ is our 10 10 10 event. We’re hosting a Burning Convention right here in Astoria on October 10th.

The convention runs Saturday and Sunday. We have over 50 people attending!

Events include:
Saturday morning, I’ll give a “keynote” address and talk about the history of Burning Wheel and where I think we’re going.

Saturday afternoon, we’ll run the Beat Pete Fight! Competition. Can you beat Pete?

Saturday afternoon we’ll also run The Sword. Or rather, you’ll run The Sword for us. One lucky GM gets to run The Sword for BWHQ.

Sunday, we’ll have a lunch time Q&A.

And we’ll have tons of Burning Wheel games run by you and us! The Sword, Trouble in Hochen, Dinner for One, Your Day in Court, Thelon’s Rift, Mouse Guard missions and Burning Empires!

I hope to see you there.
