Fatality! Strike!!!!

I am living GenCon only by way of all the Twitter posts I'm reading about it. Next year, I may actually have to go for real.
-
Why are you people not following my blog?! It's a little light today as far as pictures go, but I have some good stuff from the past few days, check it out.
I will also second that it is exhausting, but excellent! I'll be playing in my second Dread (Jenga!) game tonight, and it shall be excellent!
Also if any of you Gencon-goers saw the two excellent death eaters walking around today, that's my brother and sister, who will also be writing up a bit about their experiences of Gencon (and look wicked mean with their masks and evil clothing).

Dude I AM following your blog.
(I have no idea what a "mud pie" is but I approve of the beverage category.)
-
Excellent! A mud pie is made of mud. This is not based on a true story.
Instead, a mud pie is a towering ice cream... tower. It's covered in whip cream and should always be eaten by more than 2 people per tower. We did not follow this law and paid the price. A delicious, slightly painful price.
Anyway, thanks for following and I hope you continue to once our gencon coverage is over and hopefully continue to entertain you.

just got back
picked up a bunch of new games - eclipse phase (sci fi transhumanist horror FUCK YES gonna run that shit), shotgun diaries, zombie cinema, dragon magazine annual, secrets of mesoamerica plus damnation city and a review copy of Hobocon, a documentary with a novel angle - some guys attended gencon last year with no money or plan and tried to survive.
Ran 7 fucking games - 6 official events and one unofficial game of Call of Cthulhu - Greg Stolze played in it and I killed Aaron twice
Got at most 5 hours or less of sleep a night
Played in a 12 FUCKING HOUR TWO PART GAME of CoC run by Scott Glancy - WW1 German u-boat crew - I fired the deck cannon, mowed down ~20 deep ones with a maxim, played alongside Greg Stolze, Frank Fry, Shane Ivy, Tom, and an actual honest to god German (cant think of his name right now) - Tom incited some spanish police to mutiny - learned more about ww1 Mediterranean u-boat warfare than I ever had, and had a blast.
All but 1 of my official games sold out - 6 or 7 players - one game just had 2 players.
attended the Diana Jones awards
met a whole lot of cool people including some RPPR fans which was very cool. Meeting someone who would say "RPPR? I love your show!" is pretty damn cool.
was busy the whole goddamn time - it was a blur
recorded over 30 hours of actual play and Tom recorded 3 games - dunno how many hours it was
-
Holy shit man. 12 hours? That blows away my game length records, even in two parts.

Ross,
Awesome game of monsters. Had a blast and it helped me understand how to run the game a whole lot better. Thanks, had a blast. Looking forward to a published Sucrose park next year.
