PokeProblems40

Episode 40: The full-time fortieth episode of the PokeProblemsPodcast! Tonight we have the return of celebrity DM and Wizards of the Coast Organized Play leader Greg Marks aka Skerrit the Green aka Green Mario. He's here to tell us about Gen Con 2016. He was there as a celebrity DM for D&D Adventurers League. (If you want to follow him on Twitter: ) The D&D Organized Play is run at Gen Con by Baldman Games, and Greg was recruited to run 8 adventures! Our discussion touches on the new game slot schedule, the impressive number of adventures being run at the Con, how he didn't make it to play Pathfinder with the Paizo folks, how he's excited for the Star Trek RPG, cosplay, Gen Con attendance, Robo Rally and so much more. (He also brags about his many podcast guest spots, like on the Down with D&D Podcast...) Greg has a lot of stuff going on right now:

• Greg is celebrating the release of two new books he worked on from Kobold Press, The Book of Lairs and the Tome of Beasts.
• Greg is doing his celebrity DM thing at Dan's Con of the Vale, October 21 - 23 at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel.
• And at Stuffed COWS 15 November 25-27 at the College of DuPage (near Chicago).
• And at Gamehole Con November 4th - 6th, 2016 in Madison, Wisconsin. Who names these things???
• And at Queen City Conquest Sep 9 - Sep 11, 2016, at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.

Green Mario also recommends this Comic about IV's by Maphrox, despite the fact he's not playing! You can use an IV calculator such as this one from Poke Assistant to figure out your Pokemon's IVs in Pokemon GO!
