The Music of the Spheres is Chaos! And it's right around the corner! We send you to the preview page for our latest Kickstarter today.
This is also your last few hours to get your early event submission into us for Gen Con 2022. And badge registration has opened up for Origins 2022 as well.
The week rounds out with news about a new multiversal adventure that any third-party publisher can become a part of, a look at the MCC bookshelf for 2022, THREE previews of stories from the next issue of Tales From the Magician's Skull, and an interview with the lead singer of Glass Hammer for the Music of DCC.

ONLY HOURS REMAIN FOR FIRST WAVE OF GEN CON EVENT SUBMISSION! |
It’s down to the wire! Act now to get your events in for Gen Con 2022!
While we will continue to accept incoming submissions through our handy registration form for another few weeks, it is important to get them in during this first wave! Getting your events in THIS WEEK—through 11:59 p.m. EST on Saturday, February 12th—is the best chance to get them approved by Gen Con so that you can actually run them. There is a limited amount of space available, and once filled, further events may not be accepted.
We’re getting some great entries but we’d love to see more! We’d most especially like to see more low-level DCC and MCC adventures, and just more MCC adventures in general at this point. So keep those entries coming and let’s make this the best Gen Con yet.
Every one of our massively successful convention appearances is only made possible by the hard work, wild imagination, and sheer determination of our fantastic extended family of Judges and event organizers. And did you know we provide GM badges and housing credit for Judges who run events at Gen Con? It’s true! If you run 4 RPG sessions, we’ll arrange for a GM badge and a $100 housing credit. After all, we couldn’t do it without your support, and it’s another terrific reason to run events!
We firmly believe that we have the best fans in the industry. And the best fans are the ones who run the best games. And the best place to find games is at Gen Con. Submit your events today and get ready to wow us when we return to the biggest RPG event of the year!

EVENT SUBMISSION OPEN FOR ORIGINS AND LEXICON |
The long-running Origins Game Fair is now open for Badge Registration for its 2022 show. It will be held on June 8-12 in the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH. We’d love to see you there!
As a reminder, event submissions for Origins are also open and ongoing until March 11th. It would be great to see a large showing of DCC and related Third Party Publisher games to reinforce our booth’s presence, so for anyone considering running an event we hope you hop on board.

DCC PUBLISHERS, CONTRIBUTE TO THE SHARED EVENT "GEAS ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE" |
The forces of the multiverse have called upon you! A grand gathering is happening, and you have been tasked with becoming a part of this effort to save all of reality before it is too late…
“Geas Across the Multiverse” is a new project meant to bring together the various worlds created by the amazing talent who have built their worlds for Dungeon Crawl Classics (and Mutant Crawl Classics) and published them as third-party releases. This ambitious event will play out at conventions throughout 2022 and the following year before culminating at Gen Con 2023...

This week we wanted to show off DCC‘s radioactive little brother, Mutant Crawl Classics, in its own multi-edition glory. MCC still has some catching up to do in terms of sheer iterations, but surely the sky is the limit for future mutations . . . err, I meant to say, editions...

CONGRATS TO CHASE REINHART FOR SOLVING THE PUZZLE |
Chase Reinhart sure did!
We’d like to congratulate him for being the first person to notify us about finding the secret message in this painting.
…I wonder what other secret messages are still out there, waiting to be found?

A PREVIEW OF MARK RIGNEY'S "DARA'S TALE" |
Mark Rigney’s story of a remote village beset by scurriers—and perhaps fouler things besides—is his first foray in the pages of Tales From the Magician’s Skull. Young Dahnica, her head full of stories and a knife in her hand, may be all that stands between her people and a dark evil in “Dara’s Tale.”
Peter Mullen’s creepy-crawly illustration will surely have you scurrying after TFTMS#7—and our downloadable preview is guaranteed to whet your appetite for the full story in our soon-to-be-released next issue!

A PREVIEW OF C.L. WERNER'S "THE SNAKE IN THE FOLD" |
Fans of Tales From the Magician’s Skull and Warhammer Fantasy alike need no introduction to C.L. Werner, who returns once again to the pages of our magazine with a tale of his wandering samurai, Shintaro Oba. On a mission to free the soul of his late master from a demon’s clutches, Oba’s encounters with spirits, monsters, and foul magic are fast becoming the stuff of legend—join him as he once again braves damnation in “The Snake in the Fold.”
Randy Broecker’s iconic double-page illustration of samurai versus snake demon embodies eastern style and pulp power, the perfect match for Werner’s Oba! Our downloadable preview is sure to whet your appetite for the full story in our soon-to-be-released next issue!

A PREVIEW OF D.J. TYRER'S "DEATH STALKS THE NIGHT" |
Horror-powerhouse D.J. Tyrer marks his first appearance in Tales From the Magician’s Skull with an eerie tale of bone-stealing nightwalkers and sinister magic. All is not well on the night-shrouded veldt, and only the warrior Ini-ndoga and his diminutive companion Mbeva can thwart a potent evil in “Death Stalks the Night.”
Chris Arneson’s mistily mysterious double-page illustration sets the stage for this tale of dark forces and heroic deeds—and our downloadable preview is sure to whet your appetite for the full story in our soon-to-be-released next issue!
