@Bob: Thanks man! I truly appreciate it… We’ll totally ‘talk’ soon!

@All: Thanks for the comments! Normal Bloggy Chattyness will resume soon…

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve a headache to nurse. =)

Heh. Ol’ Chatty’s being too hard on himself. I hadn’t committed to the game when we last spoke, and I wound up not going anyways. It’s all good.

I will say this: I really enjoyed the blogger seminar. Chatty, the boys from Critical Hits, the folks at Stupid Ranger, and Dungeonmastering’s own Yax are an awesome bunch of folks. They’re not just great bloggers, they’re genuinely nice people.

It turns out that one of your Paizo games had one of my old friends (who was the guy who got me into True Dungeon.)

Why am I telling you that here? I’ll see you tomorrow!

Oh man! Remember the 3,2,1 rule.

Get 3 hours of sleep a day, min.
Get 2 good meals a day, min.
Take 1 real shower a day, uh, min.

This post is awesome! Thanks!

I love the idea of the huge player and DM events all in the same game. I would love to pull something like that off locally. I’m keenly interested in how it’s run and how it goes.

Ugh. Never do drinking games with beer! Especially American beer! You get the worst hangovers that way.

Really, man. Believe the engineer.

I’m sorry I can’t answer comments properly… this 1st day has been 1000 different ways to awesome. I’ll try to jot down a few notes tomorrow.

I’ll come back later on comments.

@ “E”: I’m so sorry you can’t be with us, we’re creating gen Con traditions here and you and Graham need to be here with us next year.

@John: I really hope I get to meet you. I’ll hang around after the seminar for as long as needed to talk!

@Heidi: Wow… I’m honored. Welcome on the blog Heidi. I would love to meet you and chat. I owe so much to your dad I don’t even know where to start. Oh, BTW, the weird french guy trying to friend you on Facebook is me.

Off to get my badge from Ed.

Just enjoy the experience and breathe it all in. Truth is: I’m envious! It’s been too many years since I’ve been to GenCon but they started in the house in which I grew up and I was one of the little red-headed girls serving hot dogs and “pop” at the Horticultural Hall in Lake Geneva back in the day…later hawking the latest modules at the TSR booth. Really feeling bummed that I’m not there to see all of the tributes and people of all creeds enjoying Gaming. Hoping I can make it next year to reminicse about my past life. Have a wonderful and adventurous weekend!

I’ll be out there some time tomorrow night in Kilt and Goggles. I’m going to swing by the GM-FU seminar and try to meet up with you around then. Unfortunately Gencon’s event system is stupid ala all gaming convention webpages (Why do gaming convention web pages always have such terrible coding and organization?) and it won’t let me download events. Thus, I am unsure what time on saturday that is. I’ll figure it out and find my way there. See you at the con!

Chainmail Bikinis exist

Damn right they do.
(Under the “18+” thumbnails, so NSFW, and if you’re under 18 looking, shame on you for liking boobies! or something.)

Steelweaver, by the way, is based out of Winnipeg, where I also live. So not only are there chainmail bikinis (etc), but they’re made in ‘Toba! Whee!

They also make dice bags, so yeah.

Thanks for the pingback chatty, and I hope you have fun.

And don’t spend too much.

Always wanted to go…someday maybe. Looks like you have a fan over at turbulent thoughts : )

Hope all is well, guard your wallet – sounds like those are a targetted commodity.

That may well be one of the angriest blogs I’ve ever read… which perhaps says something about the volume of blogs I read, but still.

I miss GenCon. I attended my first one maybe 10 years ago when it was still up in Milwaukee and but had to switch to Origins when I got a new job whose vacation blackout period fell squarely when GenCon was. The atmosphere of the cons is different. GenCons people watching was so much better.

Anyways, don’t try to do to much. Have fun!
