Onyx Paths, Stuffy Dolls, and Gen Con Indy. [Monday Meeting Notes]

Monday Meeting, News

Shocking to see Magic: the Gathering card art in our header? That was pretty much the surprise I had the first time someone hunted me down asking if I’d sign one of the cards that I had done the art for. And then several years ago, I was surprised again that folks found me with Onyx Path and had stacks of cards to sign.

So this year, I’m going with it.

Anybody who has any of the Magic cards I illustrated, please come by the booth and I’d love to sign them. All of our booth team know to expect some Magic fans looking for me, so don’t be shy. Here’s two maps showing where Onyx Path booth #1103 is:

The thing is, for a lot of years with my freelance illustration work on Magic, and Doomtown, and Netrunner, and lots of other card games and even some RPG books outside of WW, most folks didn’t really connect that illustrator me with the me art directing for White Wolf.

But now, just like we’re doing the 20th Anniversary Editions of cWoD games, I myself am a classic Magic artist. The Stuffy Doll illustration above is from a whole book called The Gathering celebrating those early Magic artists that I’m very lucky to be among. So definitely come by our booth with your cards. Try and bring your own pen though, as some of the other folks at our booth might be using mine.

Just a reminder, effectively all of Onyx Path will be at Gen Con 2015 this next week. Don’t expect a response if you email any of us this week.

And as I said last week, http://theonyxpath.com/how-you-can-enjoy-gen-con-with-onyx-path-monday-meeting-notes, we have lots happening at the Onyx Path Publishing booth #1103 and in our panels and games throughout the con. So if you are there, we’d love to see you. To encapsulate:

During all this, the Wrecking Crew and Company will be playing our games in the demo areas, and at night I’ll be rampaging through downtown Indy and would be overjoyed to accept a drink from a kind and awesome member of our fan community. (So would the rest of the gang, but I write the blog, so nanny nanny boo boo, Eddy Webb).

If you can’t make it, we will be blogging and posting while there, but not going to be much on the forums or comments sections. Hope you enjoy the toomfoolery we exhibit on-line while we’re exhibiting in Indy.

Finally, and this is so crappy of me to just throw out here right now, right before we go: while I’m at Gen Con I’m going to be talking with dice manufacturers and sellers.

So if you’re interested in Onyx Path putting out physical gaming dice, and by all accounts a lot of you are, then…what sort of dice should we be looking at doing?

Retro dice that are exactly like the old sets WW created back in the day, with green marble coloring and ankhs for 0s?

created back in the day, with green marble coloring and ankhs for 0s? Ornately carved dice that feature things like roses and vines carved into every side?

Some middle zone combination of the two?

Speak out, oh army of the night!
