The Death Cookie

Use this table when you need to figure out where the climactic final battle takes place, what the villain's secret lair is hidden under, or where a GMC spent his recent vacation.

In less than a week, the Hex crew will be converging on Indianapolis for GenCon, the biggest gaming convention of them all. The first time I went to GenCon, I dreaded it--I was afraid it would be a perfect storm of all the things that annoyed me about Origins and Dragon*Con. These days, it's my second favorite convention of the year (and if they ever start handing out free beer, Archon will have some serious competition for the #1 slot).

Since Tom Waits has a new album on the way, here's a random table of characters from his songs. No matter how you work them into your game, they're bound to add a little weirdness.

Correction: As it turns out, Tom's teasers weren't for a new album announcement. They were for the video of "Hell Broke Luce" from Bad As Me . Wishful thinking on my part, I guess.--Steve
