Gen Con: Mission Accomplished


I now have my first Gen Con under my belt.

Games played:
  • A D&D Dungeon Delve (where I made the faux pas of asking whether you need to roll to determine if magic missile hits)
  • Caylus
  • Scavenger Hunt (too dicey for Tim, I'm thinking)
  • Dragons of Kir (Tim earns the medal for early adopting this one)
  • Power Grid (where I was brow-beaten by the push tournament admin)
  • A Game of Thrones Draft (beaten twice, but I met the super-nice creator of this AGOT website)
  • Eye of Judgment
  • Age of Empires III
  • For Sale
  • A bunch other shit I can't remember
Things I wish I'd done:
  • Larped with my friend Sean
  • Bought a Utilikilt to embarrass my wife
  • Remembered to invite Sam to dinner (sorry)
  • Ate even more Chick-Fil-A
  • Played in the Catan tourney
  • Taken more pictures of friends (see above)
There's always next year. Check out the rest of my pictures (mostly video game stuff) at Flickr.

Dock in the "head down" posture is funny.

Wait- that was imprecise. /Pictures/ of Dock in the "head down" posture are funny.

Crashed.

Both of my arms fell asleep so Gus could take that picture. But man, I needed a nap.

I had no idea you did the Crawl. I'm actually interested in checking it out next year, and very surprised that I am interested.

Add Thebes to the list of played.

Regardless, good times.

When Gus asked the noob magic missle question, that all of geek culture knows the answer to, our table got quiet and embarassed. Then the entire D&D floor, the second story of the convention, got quiet and laughed as a geek voice of one. The entirety of GenCon shook much like The Force with the destruction of Alderaan.
