Wheel Tree Press is proud to present Improv Techniques for the Gaming Table, a series of workshops to help roleplaying gamers take their tabletop experience to the next level! Each session combines an intensive workshop of improv techniques used by actors on stage with a practical example of play at the gaming table. Our instructors not only have extensive performance and teaching backgrounds, but also well-established nerd credentials. Expand your roleplaying horizons with skills to create kickass characters, establish meaningful relationships and develop stories that sing. Great for both GMs and players!

Workshops take place at the Pendulum Space/Theatre Momentum space (1803 W. Byron Street). To register for this workshop, please go to http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3080106

Updates and stuff:

1.  Time Cellist Kickstarter backer rewards are rolling out just as fast as we can get them out the door.  Everyone that backed the game got an email tonight with the stretch goal primer for 1960s Swinging London and backers with tiers that included additional primers received three more for the Iroquois Confederacy, Harlem Renaissance and the Caliphate of Cordoba.  Eric Simon wrote them all for us and he’s super awesome, so go check out his game Steamscapes over at http://www.steamscapes.com.

2.  Eric Ahlgren and I are going to be at Gamicon this weekend.  Are you?  Do I owe you a backer reward?  Would you like me to deliver it right to your pretty face?  I WILL DO THAT, just let me know and I’ll bring it with me.  We’ll be running games of Time Cellist, Greenlight, PANE and other stuff.  Come play with us!  We’ll also have games on sale at our dealer table, including the debut of our Film Favorites booster pack for Greenlight!

3.  Time Cellist is now available at DriveThruRPG for purchase as a PDF!  We’re still wrangling with their weird cover file system on the print version, but it should hopefully be available for purchase this week once we get things straightened out with their print shop.  If you missed out on getting your copy of the game during the Kickstarter, now you can!  Go forth and enjoy time shenanigans! (I’ll post an update when the print version is finally up as well) http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/173342/Time-Cellist?term=time+ce
