New Network Sponsor

Misdirected Mark Productions is pleased to welcome its newest sponsor, The Lucky Die! The Lucky Die is a Dungeons & Dragons 5E actual play podcast which recently released its 100th episode (and beyond!). Congratulations to this great show for reaching such a milestone, and thanks for sponsoring the network this month. Check them out at theluckydie.com and follow them at @TLDPod on Twitter.

Introduce Yourself on the Misdirected Mark Forums Soon

If you have registered an account on the Misdirected Mark Forums but have not posted yet, please do so by Wednesday, January 15th! Just a quick hello in the “Introductions” forum would be great, because that’s how you can win a free dice bag! (See details below.) More importantly, we’re currently in the process of tightening anti-spam controls, and in mid-January we’re going to deactivate accounts that have registered but never made a post. Introducing yourself verifies that you’re cleared by post moderation and also makes sure you don’t get caught up in the sweep for derelict accounts!

Never Unprepared Now Available as an Audiobook

Never Unprepared: The Complete Game Master’s Guide to Session Prep from Engine Publishing and by our own Phil Vecchione is now available as an audiobook narrated by the great Colby Elliott! Check it out at Audible.com here!

Forums Registration Drive and Dice Bag Giveaway

Have you checked out the Misdirected Mark Forums? If not, now’s a great time! We’re currently running a registration drive which could get you a Bagthulhu from Wayward Masquerade or a She’s a Super Geek dice bag handmade by Senda! Of the first 100 people to post an introduction in the Forums, one random winner will be chosen to receive each of the above prizes. If you’ve already registered for the Forums and posted your introduction, you’re already entered in the drawing. If you haven’t registered yet, come on over! Once you register, add a new topic to the Introductions forum and say hi!
