Gen Con!!!

It’s time for Shawn and I to get our nerd on at this year’s Gen Con.  For the un-initiated Gen Con is one of the largest annual gaming conventions in North America.   Some 40,000 plus nerds and geeks like us play role-playing games, miniature wargames, and pretty much submerse ourselves in all things dork.  This year however, we’re also supporting the release of ‘Voyage of the Stag Party’ our 32 page Dungeons and Dragons style adventure module and vinyl EP.

The limited release(only 300 made) is out now on 3 Floyd’s record label, Floyd Global Industries, and the adventure itself is chocked full of cheeky references to both Sybris and the brewery.  I’m for one very proud of this mashing together of some of my favorite things into one; Music, Beer, Role Playing Games.  Honestly, I can’t wait to wander over to booth number 2137 in the convention hall where the fine folks of Games Plus will be peddling our adventure.  If the 13 year old me only knew.

Getting some love from Gossip Wolf in this week’s Chicago Reader

Gossip Wolf: Play D&D with the new Sybris single, literally

By  @JR1Nelson and  @imLeor

Sybris
Local indie rockers Sybris are rolling the dice with a new three-song seven-inch called Voyage of the Stag Party, and you can too: it’s packaged in a playable Dungeons & Dragons module, based in part on two of the EP’s ragers and inspired by the six years of weekly gaming sessions the Sybris folks have enjoyed with pals from Indiana craft brewery Three Floyds.  Maps and characters are included—all you need are some of those crazy dice and a turntable! The release show Fri 4/5 at Bottom Lounge’s upstairs Volcano Room also features Rabid Rabbit and Killer Moon and an indubitably delicious tap takeover by Three Floyds.

Bards and Brewers launch “Voyage of the Stag Party”

Sybris_StagPartyCover

 

Our new vinyl EP– c0-released in a limited pressing of 300 by Floyd Global Industries–is also a classic era D&D-style adventure module.  Titled “Voyage of the Stag Party”, the adventure/EP release commemorates the 6th year of members of Sybris and brewers from Three Floyds gaming together. The release party on Friday, April 5th at Bottom Lounge’s Volcano Room in Chicago will feature a Three Floyds tap takeover, performances by Sybris, Rabid Rabbit, and Killer Moon–as well as a chance for guests to sit down for some real dice rolling gameplay.

For the past 6 years, members of Sybris and brewers from Three Floyds have gotten together almost every Friday night (barring touring or work duties) to gather in a smoky garage or around a customized game table to play the classic role-playing game, Dungeons and Dragons. When Sybris started writing a D&D inspired song, “Critically in Love,” the idea to release the song as part of an adventure was born.

To commemorate this hobby-turned-lifestyle, the adventuring party–known as The Endless Wastes–are releasing a special edition limited EP. The seven inch vinyl record contains three Sybris songs: two recorded by Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium, Pelican, Yakuza), and one by Mike Lust (Bible of the Devil, Urge Overkill, Tight Phantomz). The EP jacket is actually a “retro-clone” adventure module: “The Voyage of The Stag Party,” complete with maps and pre-rolled characters. The adventure, written by Chad Troutman with members Phil Naumann and Shawn Podgurski of Sybris, contains several tongue-in-cheek references to both Sybris and Three Floyds and is based on the songs “Stag Party” and “Boots of Gold.” The third song, “Critically in Love” is a love song told entirely in D&D jargon.

One Last Time to Let ‘em Rip

burlington2012

We’re going to expose the new Gold on Hold songs to the tempering fire one more time. The final pre-recording live run through will be at the Burlington on Saturday, June 30th here in the Chi. You know how you can just tell somethings going to be fun as hell weeks ahead of time? That’s how we feel about this. Bully in the Hallway starts it off and they put on a great, high energy show. They’ll be followed by a very special, very secret surprise buzz band that I wish I could mention but just can’t. And then we’ll close out the night. From all I’ve been hearing the Burlington’s new stage and room has excellent sound and they’ve already been making great drinkies for years. So get there early, show starts at 9pm, stay there late, we will be. It’s 21 and over(age faster kids).

c u then,
p
