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…

Gen Con (Online) 2021
For obvious reasons, I’m not going to be attending Gen Con in person this year; I’ll be doing the online variant instead.

A Non-Gaming Gen Con Thing
I’ve not gone back to reread all of the Gen Con posts, but I am wondering whether they come across as more of a colossal tale of woe and despair than I’m really wanting them to. Yes, stuff went wrong; Transport getting there was chaotic & disrupted, and the ending of the holiday was not…
