This is a little, tiny bit late, but it’s been a hectic time at Angry Games HQ? Why? Because of the Angry Games 2022 NonConvention happening this very week in Columbus, Ohio. That’s right. At the end of this week — specifically on October 14 — loyal Angreons from all around the states immediately bordering Ohio — and one whackdoodle who thought this s$&% was worth a plane ticket from the American southwest and who is dragging his significant other along — loyal Angreons from the region will be gathering for roughly 36 hours of sitting around at tables playing games with internet strangers.
It ain’t a convention, it’s a NonCon.
Anyway, that’s the big news this month. The biggest, actually. There’s other big news pertaining to the future of TheAngryGM.com, Tension Dice, SMAFARGE!, upcoming content, streams, forthcoming late Christmas presents for Frienemy-tier supporters, and of course, upcoming content. But I don’t have time to deal with any of that s$&% because putting on even a tiny thing that looks like a convention but isn’t is way harder than I guessed.
Which ain’t really surprising because, as a human being, I always assume things I don’t know how to do are easier to do than they are. And then I learn how to do them. And even then, I still assume I can do them quicker than I can next time.
I will not apologize for my thoroughly human brain.
Anyway…
Angry Out of the Office
For the next week-and-a-half, from today — October 10 — until Wednesday, October 19, I will be away and the Angry Games Corporate Offices will be closed. Responses to urgent matters will be slow and responses to non-urgent matters will be nonexistent until October 19.
October Content Schedule
One article’s out in early access and coming to general access. That was the Ask Angry October Mailbag. Expect that on Wednesday, October 12 if you’re not an Angreon.
One article is coming to early access this week and to general access the following week. That’s The Big Boneyard Beach Battle, and it’s about my running a giant-ass melee between two dozen NPCs and PCs at my table and how I did it. Or didn’t. So expect that on Wednesday, October 12 if you’re an Angreon and Wednesday, October 19 if you’re not.
There is also, mysteriously, an article in early access about character introductions that never got pushed to general release because I f$&%ed up. Non-Angreons can expect that tomorrow, Tuesday, October 11.
There’s two more articles coming this month. One will hit as scheduled on Wednesday, October 26 for Angreons and Wednesday, November 2 for Non-Angreons. The other will happen… sometime. It’ float around and land sometime before the end of the month, but it’s in limbo due to the NonCon.
Because there’s five Wednesdays in November and I only publish four articles a month, there will be no Early Release article on Wednesday, November 2 or General Release article on Wednesday, November 9. That’s how I can release a floating article without throwing off my release schedule in November.
Live Chat
The Angry GM’s Mostly Monthly Live Chat for October will happen on Thursday, October 27 at 8:30 PM EDT.
Post NonCon Update
Expect another update on Thursday, October 20 where I will catch up with some other news and stuff.
Why, yes, yes I DO, in fact, wish I were part of the non-con club! Sooooo jelly of everyone who gets to attend!
FYI, your introducing your character post never hit the archive.
Yea I’ve noticed an issue accessing the actual posts on announcement days. Seems to get hidden.
This happens because of the way I have to switch articles from hidden — for just early access supporters — to public. It involves me remembering to hit a toggle when I do the switch. Which I usually do, but sometimes don’t But even when I do, it takes a few hours sometimes to populate the archives.
