So, for all those wondering “where is that sexy hunk of man that goes by the name of Rey?”.…

Email me here.

For those wondering where “that other guest writer is?”: I’ve been at Genghis Con, Denver’s largest gaming convention in Colorado.

Man, am I wiped out.

Nevertheless, here are some six word reviews.

Living Greyhawk: Almost died way too many times.
Living Force: Man, do they need new writers.
Serial Pulp Adventures: Serial Pulp kicks a$$! For shizzi…
Being RPG Coordinator at Tacticon: What the hell was I thinking?

As a warm-up before my stint as RPG Coordinator for Tacticon, I did (just about) all the RPG mustering, lots of packet scoring and a variety of other jobs, while still playing and judging.

As I said, wiped out.

The convention was quite a bit of fun, as always, though the experience was slightly diminished with the main group of people I hang out with at these things in another country. Which means I got to hang out with some other people. I’ve now confirmed some things I already knew:

1. Rules lawyers interrupting games suck.
2. A good judge can make a bad scenario good.
3. A bad judge can’t help but make a scenario bad.
4. Some times, the only way to get people what they want is to be an a$$hole.
5. I will never play in another Greyhawk interactive. I may help run them, but I really have no desire to play in another one.
6. I really love my wife and son.

Anyhow, I now have to prepare for the mayoral campaign of my Greyhawk character. I have so much RPG-related work to do, it’s silly.

But the real question is...

How was the live KODT reading?

It ROCKED!!! I'd never been to one of Dave's live readings before, so it was totally different for me. He set up a table at the front of the room (KoDT style) and people from the audience go to read as BA, Dave, Bob, Sara or Brian. But first, you have to audition for your part. I was amazed at the people who could recite whole strips from memory.

I got to read as Sara a few times. Yay!

Friend of mine (in SCA) attended the card-gaming with a friend of hers. She said, "There were two types of people. Thirteen year-olds like this," she mimed two parallel lines, "--and thirty year-olds like this." She made a more rounded, voluptuous figure. "I wondered what happened in between, there. Plus, I found myself defending my boys from the other chicks there. And the gamers upstairs dressed funny. The guy I was with said, 'Don't say anything about the costumes. I tried that last year. It wasn't good.'"

Heh.
