Leaving Town On A Monday
Didn’t have the post-con blues, but certainly had the post-con exhausteds. Had a very leisurely morning, packing up the room and doing a final check and rebalance of the suitcases before checking out and storing my bags for a few hours. Just kind of wandered around looking at the rapidly vanishing remnants of the con,…

Sunday: Predation & Closing
The day started with VIG swag; Well, technically with a shower & getting dressed, but then VIG swag. There was a lot of it, but I have essentially no luggage space, so Naomi+Jay very kindly swung through the JW in their truck & took it off my hands to give it a good home. We’d…

Saturday: Rapscallion, Brindlewood Bay, & Old Gods Of Appalachia
This was my three-game day; Rapscallion, Brindlewood Bay, & Old Gods Of Appalachia; 12 hours of games, though maybe a smidge less as some of them finished early.

Friday: Psychic Trash Detectives
Today’s game was Psychic Trash Detectives, and it was great; Immediately went out & bought the game. I probably could have used the afternoon more effectively, but I had fun, so I’m happy with it. Got down to the stadium just to see it, and picked up a few things for myself & others at…

Tuesday
Again, mostly images. Went to the Children’s Museum with Tom in the middle of the day, & caught up with Frank in the late afternoon.

Monday
Also image heavy, so they’re behind the cut. This was the day that Tom arrived downtown, so I met up with him & Dawn for breakfast, once he’d got set in his hotel. Before that I was wandering the ICC halls & getting a few more pictures.

Saturday & Sunday
A whole lot of images here, so I’m putting them behind the cut. Saturday was pretty much the “stay awake while the sun’s out” day, to try to adjust to the new time zone. Hung out with Naomi+Jay (whose place I was staying at), and then Tom. Sunday was a … Is it a cookout…

Sunday: Day 4 :: Urban Shadows & The Hall Of Spending
Urban Shadows again. This time I went for something about as far from ‘normal person’ as possible, and played a ghost. I feel like I got the game more this time, the idea of using the influence of your group, the trading of debts to get things done, that sort of thing
