Welcome to Wild West Weeks
Over the next two weeks, Mad Brew Labs is hosting Wild West Weeks. For the following fortnight, I will be showcasing tabletop games, video games, miniatures, movies, music and other tools gamers can utilize to travel back in time and experience the freedom and grit of the Old West. The American Frontier is a setting rife with opportunities to be exploited at the game table.
Interactive GenCon 2011 Map
I’ve taken the liberty to create an interactive map of the GenCon 2011 Exhibit Hall. You can drag and zoom (using the mouse wheel or the up/down arrow keys) the map and when you rollover a booth, it displays the name of the vendor located there. If you click on the booth, it will take you to the vendor’s website (or GenCon.com if a website could not be found).

PFRPG Character Generator Update
The online Pathfinder RPG character generator that I’ve been tinkering with in my free time over the last couple of months is quickly approaching open beta testing. I currently have all the validation implemented for core class features, feats, and skills. The sole remaining elements to work on involve displaying character information effectively in the PDF export. Just need to figure out how I want to render class features and feats and it’s ready to go.
Conventions, Events, & Geosocializing
As GenCon approaches, my thoughts keep wondering about how emerging and existing technologies could be used to make the convention/event experience more enjoyable. I took a high-level look at using location-based social technology before in Leveraging Geolocation for Roleplaying Games, but I wanted to explore the technology at the implementation level for gaming conventions and events.

Leveraging Geolocation for Roleplaying Games
If you’re a technophile with a smartphone, chances are you’ve heard of social geolocation sites/apps like FourSquare or Gowalla. These location-based mobile social networks allow you to announce what you’re doing and gain rewards for visiting new venues and many other behaviors.
