Gamex 2012: Living Dungeon World

Hey! We're bringing Living Dungeon World back for Gamex , this Memorial Day Weekend. What's Living Dungeon World? Glad you asked! This is DUNGEON WORLD. It is a world of monsters and heroes, gods and demons, swords and sorcery, Good... and Evil. This is your world. And it's alive. Living Dungeon World is a weekend-long series of connected heroic-fantasy games. Play in as many or as few games as you like. Start as a lowly villager Friday afternoon and forge your legend over the course of the weekend, or drop in on one of the nine sessions just to see what this whole awesome thing's all about.  Change the world, or just visit it.

No previous experience is required, and all GMs will be happy to have first-time players at the table

I'm sure it'll produce a lot of lighthearted, fun little games. Like my game. This is a game about four cultists working in the shadows to bring about the end of the world. The Grand Convergence – an alignment of heavenly bodies that only occurs once a millennium – approaches, and with it a rare opportunity to call forth an otherworldly e
