And Then Quinns Went on a Work Trip (Patreon)

Hey folks!

This is a quick post to say that for the next couple of weeks I'll be away from my desk as I visit the United States of America.

Why? Well, Like Dr. Frankenstein, I have stitched together several thingies that have no business being stitched together, and have spent the last week full of terror at the unholy events I have set in motion.

The first stop of the tour is Auburn university in Alabama, which has invited me to try and teach some young people... whatever it is that I've learned in writing about games for twenty years. You can actually watch the interview I did with the college radio to advertise my visit, which may be of interest if you want to see me realise in real time that when I started this work you had to do it for paper magazines because the internet wasn't fully-formed yet, at which point I age about 400 years. Anyway, if you live in the vicinity and want to come to the conversation that's happening with me onstage, that's something that you can do!

The second stop is one where some of you could actually see me! It's PAX Unplugged, my favourite tabletop convention, which happens in Philadelphia. I'm doing a signing as well as hosting two stage shows. If you can't make the con, don't fret! I'm hoping to record both shows and put them online.

After the con my brain will be steamed ham, but literally the moment the convention centre closes I fly to Los Angeles to guest on a couple of shows. One of them is Adventuring Academy with Brennan Lee Mulligan! If you'd like to submit a question for him to grill me with, you can actually do so right here.

It's wild to think that I'll be in the Dimension 20 dome in just a couple of weeks. It is, however, nauseating knowledge that I intend to use the platform to tell the Dropout audience that they should stop playing D&D.

Wish me luck! So many people are gonna be like "Who the fuck is this guy! Why is he eating obscure snacks with Brennan!" Oh God!

All of that said, while Dr. Frankenstein is mostly remembered for his hubris, we must not forget he was also a doctor, and like a doctor I wouldn't dare leave my charges without proper care.

If everything goes to plan, while I'm away you'll be able to enjoy the next episode of Quinns Quest, PLUS the accompanying Patreon video, PLUS the new season finale of PTFO.

Will everything go to plan? That's for you suckers to find out. It's time for me to pack my bags.

Sincerely,

Doctor Quinns
