This is the third year for the plyometric workout designed to maximize your inner barbarian's rage-filled berserk attack.
Description:
Building on the success of my Star Wars themed exercise classes, I have designed an intense plyometric workout for Dungeons & Dragons Barbarians! Everyone knows that what is best in life is, “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!” while preparing our bodies for the rigors of a full day of Gen Con! While any fitness level can be accommodated, if you have joint challenges, especially knees or ankles, you might want to consider my fourth year offerings of Sith Core and Mandalorian Martial Arts, my Jedi Yoga class now in its sixth year, or my body weight workout Fit Fighter in its second year.

Learn to build a moving mouth mech for a turning head rod puppet. It's similar to the type used on Rizzo the Rat, and is a simple, intuitive design that's easy to perform and fun to play around with.
Description:
Along with building this puppet “skeleton," we're going to be looking at how it works, why it works, and how you may need to change it if you come up with your own designs in the future! We'll spend some time looking at fun ways to add on to the basic mech to create your own character, then we will look at another rod design to get your ideas flowing. We will be assembling a kit, but this workshop is designed to show you the principals and be able to create your own designs from fairly easy to find materials. If you can bring needle nose pliers, a fine phillips-head screw driver, it would be great, but we will have extras to borrow if you don't routinely carry those around with you the way Greg does.
