Victory at Gen Con 2011

This past weekend, gamers of all stripes gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana for GenCon, the largest convention of its kind in North America. So what was the crew of MIND’S EYE doing there? Why picking up some hardware, of course.



The final four episodes of MIND’S EYE’s initial season were screened as part of the con’s film festival, along with several other submitted webseries, short films and features. At an awards ceremony on Sunday, the winners for each category were announced and MIND’S EYE came out the winner for Best Series. The prizes, as awarded by Troma Entertainment co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, included a trophy, a free exhibit booth at next year’s GenCon and a copy of Kaufman’s DVD Box Set Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director.



But it wasn’t all awards at the show. The MIND’S EYE crew was working hard at the booth creating Instant FX, a unique service where fans could get a picture or video of themselves with a visual effect of their request. As well, MIND’S EYE producer/creator Thomas M. Gofton participated in a number of panels and the DREAMWEAVER role playing was play-tested once again for the attending gamers.

All-in-all, it was a solid weekend of fun and accomplishment for the MIND’S EYE team. Coming up next: a stop this weekend in “The Windy City” – Chicago – for the local Wizard World con. Then, we’ll be returning home for the National Fan Expo in Toronto at the end of the month. Keep your eyes peeled; MIND’S EYE may be coming soon to somewhere near you.

Playtest Dreamweaver RPG

The Dreamweaver RPG playtest package is now available to download from the Mind's Eye web site. The package includes everything you need to start playing Dreamweaver, including the playtest version of the core rules, a character sheet, and a pre-made adventure.

We're asking all playtesters to play through the provided adventure at least once before you start making up your own adventures.

We'd appreciate any and all feedback you may have, but there are a couple things in particular that we'd like to get your opinions on:

We wanted the combat system to be quick and easy to use, but we didn't want fights to be over after a single dice roll. Do you think the combat system achieves this, or is it too lethal, or do combats take too long to resolve?

The dreamweaving ability has proven to be a challenge to balance. Do you find dreamweavers to be adequately balanced with other character types, or are they too powerful, or are they too weak?

Are there any rules that are difficult to understand, either because they were poorly written, because there aren't enough examples, etc?

Are there any important rules that seem to be missing or need to be expanded?

What part of the rules do you see as needs improvement?

What part of the rules did you enjoy the most?
