    Slight change of plans, folks.

    James has scheduling issues, so he will be hosting my Thursday and Friday games that are at 4pm at the JW: 

    https://www.gencon.com/events/104818

    https://www.gencon.com/events/105921

    I'll be taking on his events those days at 2pm in the FFG RPG Room:

    https://www.gencon.com/events/111718

    https://www.gencon.com/events/111723

    So the events are still happening, just with different people hosting them. 

    —Tim

    Hi all! Looks like there will be lots of Baron Munchausen at Gencon. I'm running 3 games, another fellow is running 4, and FFG will have James Wallis on hand to run 3 more!

    You can find them all here: 

    https://www.gencon.com/event_finder/Category/Role Playing Game?ag[]=un&ag[]=eo&ag[]=tn&ag[]=ma&ag[]=tw&exp[]=no&exp[]=so&exp[]=ep&opt[]=ta&opt[]=hh&search=munchausen

    (or just go here and https://www.gencon.com/event_finder and put in Munchausen as a search term).

    (or use the classic event finder here: https://www.gencon.com/events/find)

    Hope to see many of you there!

    –Tim

    Huzzah! The Baron has shared additional Adventure Seeds for the Variant of his Game proposed by his Most Esteemed Ally, Es-Sindibad the Sailor. 

     

    This may be found here, under "Player Resources" 

    http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/the-extraordinary-adventures-of-baron-munchausen/

     

    This thread can be used to offer additional Seeds, as well as new Seeds for other Variants of the Baron's Game. 

     

    Yours in Germination, but not the actual German Nation, as we are at war I believe? Much check on that...

    Hello, fellow players of the Baron's Game!

     

    The Baron has shared a missive concerning the naming of names, which can be found here under "Player Resources"

    http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/the-extraordinary-adventures-of-baron-munchausen/

     

    This thread can be used to promote new names and locations to add to the generator, as well as for generating names for the many Variants of the Baron's Game to be found in this new edition. 

     

    Yours in Cognomenity,

    Captain Huckelbery, formerly of the USS Falcon

    Verily so!

    There are some articles on RPGG and the like about the older editions that describe the mechanics of the base game too, like here: https://rpggeek.com/thread/1258435/whats-it-all-about-extraordinary-adventures-baron.

    Rumors of the first link's efficacy have been greatly exaggerated, good fellow!  The latter, however, has seen to it that this title will enter my collection.  

     

    Clearly the work of the pernicious French, always eager to employ the sabot even in this age. 

     

    I fervently hope this connective net-tubage will suffice, where all the various News articles concerning the Baron's Game can be found: 

    The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

    A drinking RPG game sounds fun, do I have that right though? I find the game description incredibly painful to read so I'm not entirely sure what it's about, but I'm still curious :)

     

    Not really a drinking game, though you can certainly have a glass or several while playing or make that a part of the game. It's really more about telling outlandish stories through competitive boasting to produce the greatest tale for the entertainment of the rest of the group, and some liquid fortification does aid in the process :)

     

    Players can also challenge other storytellers in their tales concerning "facts" they bring up, for example, thus making storytellers to make clever corrections or refute such allegations. These twists can then take stories in directions the teller had no plans for originally, and thus create even better (and certainly more amusing) tales. 

     

    The rules cover how such things as how challenges are made and refuted, winners are decided, and (most importantly) who buys the next round. It also includes a multitude of story ideas to get things going, plus all of the new content for the third edition so even veteran players will get tons of new game and story tips.

    I don't know if you write these things yourself or if there's a team, but I simply cannot get enough!

    Thanks, they are fun to do (our fine folks at marketing did the news article and product page text; I've done the postings here and am working on support items to appear when the book launches). The game really inspires everyone to get creative in their writing, and I'm hoping we'll see lots of "in-character" postings here for epic stories from game sessions.

    It has come to the Baron’s attention, as well as to the eagled-eyes of those who scour these ætherical series of tubes connecting this Modern World, that scurrilous deeds are afoot! Someone has had the audacity to lower the already diminutive price that was being charged for this Third Edition of his Game. Alarums! 


     


    The Baron weeps, for that funding was sorely needed to sally forth against the French against their latest invasion efforts. It now appears his supplies will include only three barrels of the ’77. If only he had the monetary means for even just one more barrel! 


     


    But you can do your part! When purchasing the book, now for only $24.95, simply post a cheque for the difference, along with any other funds laying about, to "The Baron Munchausen" (any official of letters will certainly be able to deliver your missive, and more importantly the cheque, to him, wherever he might be either on, under, or above the Earthy realms). And rest easy, knowing the Baron will certainly put it to good use. I hear the ’62 is also an excellent year. 


     


    Yours, 


    Captain T. L. Huckelbery, of the Ærospatial Vessel Falcon, (RET)


     


    (Hey all, yes indeed the price did drop on the book)

    Hellos and Huzzahs to my fellow tellers of entirely factual tales! 

     

    The Baron has expressed his desire for his humble servant to relay information concerning the optical nature of his book. Oh, apologies, he meant the spectical nature. Drat, no, he means the specifications for the book, of which there are contained within many of his adventures across the globe, under and above the globe, and into the strato-spherical realms above.

     

    Thusly:

     

    This new Third edition is One Hundred and Forty Four pages in length, an expansion so vast as to be incomprehensible to any but the greatest of mathemagicians, and barely enough to contain all of the New Content. 

     

    It is also of Full Colour, with the renowned Omar Rayyan providing glorious illustrations unseen by mortal eyes until now throughout the book. Such is the stunning nature of the artwork that it pushed aside all others, and thus the entire book is comprised of art from this wonderful personage. Ready hand-kerchiefs and tissues, ladies and gentlemen, for surely you will weep upon seeing the Baron's adventures brought to life within these pages. 

     

    Additionally, the Fine People who give both Imaginary Power and Aeronautical Lift to Games have assured me that there will be Miniaturized Aetheric-Electrical Representations of the Baron's image suitable for use in Forums with Series of Tubes to indicate the Belief in the Baron's Extraordinary Tales, and Willingness to attempt to craft tales of equally fantastical (though, of course, utterly factual) nature. 

     

    Mendace Veritas!

    — The Honourable Captain T. L. Huckelbery (ret)
