Today’s game was Psychic Trash Detectives, and it was great; Immediately went out & bought the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I probably could have used the afternoon more effectively, but I had fun, so I’m happy with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got down to the stadium just to see it, and picked up a few things for myself & others at the Hall Of Wallet Emptying. Also picked up the VIG swag & lugged it back to my room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find I have to do the Vendor area in a series of short visits; It’s such an assault on the senses, and so crowded, that after a while I just want out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had dinner with a huge group of people, and a Nerdprov Live show in the evening. Both of these were fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Foggy this morning; Can barely see the next hotel, and the river is entirely missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trash did actually play a part in the game, mostly as a prompting object, though we did use the newspaper to sketch out locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gigantic amount of VIG swag, almost none of which I can keep <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Between the dinner and the Nerdprov show I wandered through various bits of the ICC, including the Czech Games rooms, where I saw this. Almost certainly not my kind of thing, but the artwork & concept are interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also a “make a potion” thing for the game Little Alchemists, which was largely a theatre bit with a cauldron prop, but very fun – The guy running it really leaned into his bit despite it being a group of five adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
