Not every day is a good day.

This was my first GenCon. It was great! I found the general congoers to be very friendly, but mostly hung out with goons.

Plus, got a story or two out of it!

I liked L5R a lot. Secrets was also a lot of fun. I'm not sure if Resistor is new, but it was new to me, and I liked it a lot.

I can't tell if the Robotech minis game is good or not, the guy demoing it kinda spent most of his time playing someone else who already knew how to play. I think it's probably good.

New Ageles(with goons)

I'd played this before, but it is helluva fun.

Do not buy the Robotech game. Please. Do not encourage Palladium.

I've heard the game is ok but nothing special; however, the real problem is that they've basically scammed everyone from their Kickstarter. It's been over 4 years and people still haven't gotten half their stuff (they should have gotten everything like 3 years ago). Also, the models have too many pieces and the worst gaps I've seen on a model.

(I didn't put any money into it but I've been fascinated by how bad it is for a while now.)

Haha, I've had a love/hate thing with Palladium for maybe 20 years now. Rifts was the second RPG I ever played. I'd heard the Kickstarter was a poo poo show, but I didn't know people didn't have their stuff yet. It's been in stores for a little while now.

I sadly won't be making it this year. Please continue the goon trend of SHOT WEDNESDAY without me!

I will have a shot for you.

This year I will eat dinner before Shots Wednesday.

A wise plan.
