I got a copy of limited, opened the box, saw the size of the rulebook, and said gently caress it and went back to playing Conquest. Want to teach it to me?

T.O.V.A. is Saturday at 4, fortunately for you. And indeed for all of us.

I have missed more of the Auction this year than any since I started caring about a decade ago. BUT TOMORROW! I will be there all day other than the 2 P.M. Dungeons & Dragons Documentary session thing.

Hey there! Wasn't sure if I was going or not; turned out I am! I'll be hanging around Gencon from 10 in the morning to around 10 in the evening just for today. I am very open to saying hi to goons. Message me and I will say hi at you, etc. I'm also in the google doc and groupme.

We're always hiring!

Just now had the idea to ask here.
Is anyone staying at or near the Drury Hotel on Michigan Road?

More importantly, sometime between 11pm last night and 8 this morning, did you see anyone running off with a gray Gurren Lagann messenger bag?

Long story short, someone busted the window out of my car and stole it. The bag had a 5e D&D Players Handbook, and the Pathfinder Core Rulebook/Advanced Player Guide/Ultimate Magic, and a brown Crown Royal bag full of dice.

I filed a report and everything, but I'm not holding my breath.
Cops figure the thief thought there was a laptop inside. I'm hoping they dumped it somewhere when they realized it wasn't.

Math trade. It's basically a big swap meet where a computer maximizes the number of trades.

Basically if you see it on SU&SD, buy it immediately the review appears or it'll end up out of stock very quickly.

Do you believe in heroes?
My first Gen Con was pretty great! I spent way less money than I anticipated but snagged a few things I was looking for (Tichu, a couple Summoner Wars decks, and a Pop! figure). Also got to demo Evolution which releases later this year.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to game with goons, my friends that I was with were pretty pooped so we took off by 5.

Thanks to everyone for playing games with me, I really enjoyed it. Sorry I wasn't able to commit to anything meaty for most of the trip, being bound to a single car and a distant hotel meant it was pretty unviable to actually separate from the group. Either way, fun times.

This was my first Gen-Con. Despite the fact that my group of people absolutely imploded because nobody was in charge, a ton of us had issues, somebody lost their driver's license, etc., I had a loving blast and I didn't even get to meet up with any of you.

Next year... Next year will be different!

Particularly since the funeral visitation and my Auction duties kept me from more than a couple hours actually shopping this year.

I did get some swank SSI 8-bit games from the early-mid 1980s :c00l:

Went a little crazier this year once I realized how much I managed to sell at the auction. The cost of all this, not counting the things I got for free, is still less than half of the money I earned by burning my d20 collection.

This is a long shot, but would any one of you happen to have gone to the trouble of registering and playing in the Warhammer40k Conquest LCG tournament and have a promo you're willing to sell to a jelly dude living across the world?

I'm not Countblanc, but I demoed Kemble's Cascade with the designers and thought it was pretty fun. You fly around and shoot stuff (and the other players), upgrade your ship, and eventually fight a giant boss.

It captures the feel of an 8-bit space shooter pretty well (think Gradius, R-Type, etc.).
