Badge-bling update.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Something I’ve been doing this con is to have permanent & temporary badge ribbons. The Sponsor, Ally, and Contessa one stay, because they’re importent. Other ones, I’ll stick on, then take off again when I don’t care anymore, so I had a Gen Con Unofficial Facebook Group ribbon for a bit, and then one from a games company.<\/p>\n

Last game was Eclipse Phase, Fate edition; Transhumanist Horror.<\/p>\n

Something I read years ago broke things down as;
\nTransumanism is about how technology will make the future better,
\nCyberpunk is about how it won’t.<\/p>\n

In the case of Eclipse Phase, it’s about how , in the future, we’ll be able to get into situations that are so much worse, and be able to do things that are so much dumber than what we already do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve not had a bad game this con, and this one was the idea one to end a con on; Great group, a whole lot of fun, a bunch of deeply <\/b>screwed up characters.
\nEnded up chatting with the GM & one of the other players (waves)<\/i> for a couple of hours after the game ended.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Trying to get a shot of that mirrored river surface; I think it worked.
\n<\/p>\n

We (Frank, Kevin, Amy, Steve, & Moni) went to a high-falutin’ steakhouse for dinner, on the occasion of Moni’s birthday.
\nIt was really <\/i>good food.<\/p>\n

On the way back, cutting through the ICC, we could see the pack-up happening. <\/p>\n

Ended the evening (eventually) <\/i>sitting around and nattering in the JW, until people started to zone out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
