9th Level Announcse ORIGINS 2007 Events

All my fuzzy little minions,

I hope your stocked for Con Season like we are. We just posted our events for Origins 2007 - check them out:

THE KOBOLD MIDNIGHT MASSACRE 8: KINDERGARDEN DEATHMATCH

The eighth Annual KOBOLD MIDNIGHT MASSACRE – bringing hundreds of gamers together to cause mischief, mayhem, and maximum kobold body count. Due to a mistake in the local post, KING TORG (ALL HAIL KING TORG!) accidentally received an invitation to the Adventurer School (Grades K-5) Annual “Feed the Children” Fundraiser. Being a kobold, he mistakes this to mean that the Children are an all day buffet! Now, you and your intrepid kobold pals have to siege the Elementary School – going from classroom to classroom – collecting tasty kiddies for the stewpot. Don’t come back empty-handed since King Torg (ALL HAIL KING TORG!) doesn’t believe in detention. GO TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS! This year’s Kobold Midnight Massacre will feature a unique “arts-and-crafts” mechanic, with all of the traditional beer and pretzels dice-chucking, over-the-top, fan-favorite madness. As always brought to you by the evil wizards of 9th Level Games (and featuring prizes from Dork Storm Press). ALL HAIL KING TORG! (FRIDAY NIGHT @ 8-12)

KOBOLDS ATE MY HOMEWORK

Learn to eat babies! Learn to hate chickens! Learn to die Random Horrible Deaths! PLAY KOBOLDS ATE MY BABY! It’s as easy as ALL HAIL KING TORG! (Thurs, Friday, Saturday multiple sessions)

ALL HAIL ORIGINS!

9th Level Rocks Out at Ubercon and Meets Some Cool New Friends

The evil wizards at 9th Level Games just got back from a weekend of gaming and geeky goodness at UBERCON 8 in NJ. The show was a lot of fun, and we wanted to take a minute to make some shout-outs to the kids that really rocked!

GEEK LABEL (http://www.geeklabel.com/)

These dudes made our show with a) podcasting all the goofy fun of KOBOLDS ATE MY BABY! (check out their totally slamming geek podcast @ http://www.geeklabel.com/podcast.php; b) interviewing us for an upcoming Podcast (details to follow), c)having awesome Geek T-shirts to sell, d) totally being badass. CHECK THEM OUT. Now. Go to their site and give them money!

KEVIN SIEMBIEDA (http://www.palladiumbooks.com/)

Chris got a chance to sit on a panel about game design with multiverse meister Kevin Siembieda - and totally fanboy'd out. (Greg Costikyan of Paranoia and Star Wars D6 fame was there too - coolness!) The Evil Wizards have always been RIFTS fanboys (most of high school was spent saving the Multiverse) and were completely stoked that Kevin Siembieda thought they were funny!

Palladium Books, one of the first truly independent games companies, is going through a rough strecth right now - and they NEED YOUR HELP! Check out the site - and grab a book or two to help out some of the coolest gamers in the industry! HELP SAVE PALLADIUM NOW!

UBERCON RPG MISTRESS Alyssa and the folks at UBERCON 8 (http://www.ubercon.com/)

Thanks Alyssa - you rocked. Thanks to the Ubercon folks for inviting us as guests - we had a blast! Thanks to anybody that stopped to play KAMB with us (one game include a Kobold attempting to discover the Internets and later dying while trying to achieve Enlightenment).

RICH SIGFRIT a.k.a. Mr. Adventure (http://www.requiemoftheoutcast.com/roto/index.html)

Rich is this really cool pod-casting guru/voice actor/cool dude that we challenged to try pen and paper role-playing games. Check out his rad pod-casting site which includes the pulp-radio show Mr. Adventure!

LUKE CRANE, Master of the Burning Wheel (http://www.burningwheel.org/)

Luke Crane is always fun to run into at shows. He is the game designer that we want to be when we grow up - totally intense, totally fun, and a genius to boot! Luke was pimping his latest tour-de-force rpg BURNING EMPIRES which was a full-color hardcover with ridiculously cool art, an awesome future-imperfect setting, and the avant (read cool as shit) Burning Wheel RPG system). Check it out at http://www.burningempires.com/

SEAN SMITH, RPGA Crack Dealer

Sean was the reason that we came to this great show - and we'd just like to say we enjoyed bullying your RPGA players as "The Royal Kobold Court of Queen Grot! ALL HAIL QUEEN GROT! To all the Living Greyhawk folk that were good sports - huzzah!

KOBOLDS ATE MY MINIS!!!

9th Level Games, Dork Storm Press and Magnificient Egos Announce KOBOLDS ATE MY BABY! Miniatures

That's right my little kobolds. After many years of wishing, your dreams of tiny metal icons representing unbridled furry fury are coming true.

Kobolds Ate My Baby kobolds are sculpted by Andrew Barlow based on the art
work of John Kovalic. They will come in 6 different variants for $3.99
each. Look for official KAMB miniatures rules in the pages of Dork Tower and special web promotions from 9th Level Games!




KAMB Kobolds will be avaialble at GENCON, and soon after that in better hobby stores everywhere. The Kobolds Minis are being mad by the mad geniuses at MAGNIFICIENT EGOS ( http://www.magnificentegos.com/ ) - the bad boys of metal and makers of the worlds largest miniature (Check out their site! NOW!!).

The Evil Wizards are all a flutter!

ALL HAIL KING TORG! (Heck, if enough of you buy metal Kobolds, we could even ALL HAIL a mini KING TORG!!!!!)

KOBOLDS @ ORIGINS 2006

KOBOLDS MASSACRE ORIGINS 2006

For everyone that played KAMB at Origins 2006 - we had a blast. We ran about 12 games of Kobolds at the convention (one table had 17 people!) and we had the biggest KOBOLD MIDNIGHT MASSACRE YET - over 110 people (PICTURES TO FOLLOW).

While we were there, we had some good discussions, and it looks like some cool stuff should be coming down the pike from your friends at 9th Level Games. One is still uber-secret, and the other we can reveal soon (and it may have to do with ... miniatures, and we're for real this time).

In the meantime, enjoy this AWESOME rap song about KOBOLDS! from our good buddy GENTLE JONES (check his site out here):
