Thursday: Coyote & Crow
First game of the con, Coyote & Crow, was awesome; We all had a good time, and my character got to finish a fight by hitting a group of people with a couch. The second game, in the evening, didn’t happen; I was the only player out of 5 who turned up for Tales From…

Wednesday
“Day Zero” of Gen Con; Most of the setup is done, and lines from for folks getting badges & merch. I did go to the wednesday night social event, The Stink, for a while, but it was pretty loud & oddly hot, so I left pretty early & found somewhere quieter & cooler to be.…

Tuesday

Thursday: Day 1 :: Rapscallion, Avatar Legends, & the VIG Mixer
First up was Rapscallion; I’d never heard of this game prior to the event wishlist process, and I’m so very glad that I spotted it, because it was my standout game of the Con. Looking at the various documentation I have for events, I must have spotted it while looking for things to fill it…
