The Doom Gong Shall Rise Again – And The Winners Shall Be Honored

For two long years, the Doom Gong has slumbered, swaddled in the stifling miasma of the dead. For two long years, the gong has lain silent. The foolish souls of the world have forgotten its sonorous drone, the black singing that drowns out spoken word and the cries of the dying alike. Aged men lay abed, trembling with memories of a nightmare they can no longer place; their babes wail, unable to give a name to the new horrors that must...

The Names On The Doom Gong

The Gong of Doom has quickly become an icon for the Goodman Games crowd. It’s echoing sound ringing through the hallways as a harbinger of another fallen comrade during the Team Tournament. It’s both wonderful and ominous at the same time. It has another purpose, too. On the columns of the Gong, we’ve added plaques to commemorate the winners of the Team Tournament, both at Gen Con and, as of this year, Origins as...

Wayne’s Building An Obelisk. Maybe Two.

Last year Wayne built the Gong of Doom. Every time someone died in the DCC Team Tournament, the gong was rung. Many deaths were announced. This year the Gong comes back to Gen Con. And it’s bringing friends. Wayne’s building obelisks. Maybe they’re time travel pylons. Maybe they’re hexospatial demon traps. Maybe they’re just phlogiston transmitters. Find us at Gen Con. And there’ll you find the obelisks. And maybe a demon or...
