Gen Con Briefs: Wednesday

I don’t know how much I’ll be able to blog this year at Gen Con.  I promised myself that I would not skip sleep to write so my posts will be Sporadic.

Here’s a few highlight of Yesterday.

I met Robin Laws at the O’Hare Chicago airport.  We chatted about player types and motivation some and I got some hints about cool upcoming WotC featuring types and motivation.

I had dinner with my friend Graham and his lovely fiancé, along with Steve and Seth, two of my fellow Goodman Games tournament judges.  Good time (and good beers) was had.

Of course, the day’s Feature Event was our annual Drunken D&D event.  This year, the Hotel was nice enough to let us use a huge round table in a cozy corner.  This year’s lineup of PCs was stellar with Graham and his fiancé, Barteoneus and Dave: The Game (from Critical Hits), E (Of Geeks dream Girl) and Jared Hindmann (of head injury theater) .

I won’t even try to recount what happened.  Like last year, we laughed like hell.  We actually had so much fun, that I ended fast forwarding the tactical encounters to go back to roleplaying.

Some of the things seen in the game:

• A warforged compulsive eater taunting a minotaur with a red table cloth
• A Surfer boardmage shagging a Succubus then shagging a skanky bard.
• A halfling Fonzie shagging both the Succubus and the Bard
• The Emo Warlock’s Codpiece of Agony
• A Grell giving birth
• The Grell happy and angry chirps
• 31 one ways to please yourself with a sleeping beholder (roll sanity checks)
• A Stoner Surfer riding the Zomboni inside the Science Lab.

We didn’t finish the game but as you can see, insane fun occured.  Also, a D&D designer may or may not have watched part of the game!

All right, I’m off to do some Tournament DMing. Catch you all later.
